It was there, sitting at a would-be celebratory dinner at Lawry’s, that he realized he and his bandmates had been swindled by Lou Pearlman — the Florida businessman who’d created both ’N Sync and their rivals, the Backstreet Boys. With the distance to reflect on his relationship with the con man, Bass has now produced a documentary about the late criminal, “The Boy Band Con: The Lou Pearlman Story.” The film, which premiered to strong reviews at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, last month and opened in limited theatrical engagements last week, will debut Wednesday on YouTube.
Lance, do you remember, initially, being weirded out by the fact that this middle-age businessman with no background in the music industry wanted to start boy bands?No. I would have taken any shot. The way he explained it to us was — and it sounded very legit and reasonable — he wanted to start this record label because he flew the New Kids on the Block on one of his planes and saw they were a billion-dollar business.
Even after you and the Backstreet Boys had severed ties with Pearlman, he created O-Town through the 2000 ABC reality show “Making the Band.” Were you shocked that so many starry-eyed hopefuls were still willing to trust him at that point?I actually talked to those boys before they even signed their contract. I sat them down in New York, because one of my best friends from high school was in the original O-Town — Paul Martin.
