and form a band called The Big Time Rush. By comparison, Trampled By Turtles, a band ACTUALLY from Duluth (who have had three albums reach #1 on the Billboard bluegrass chart) partner with several local music festivals and have two hit songs about their beloved hometown.The cute guys of the new Nickelodeon show Big Time Rush - James, Kendall, Logan and Carlos - chatted with Seventeen so we could give you a sneak peek before the big November 28 premiere! The half-hour comedy chronicles the lives of four best friends who get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to move to L.A. Duluth is awesome in the summer, and if they actually hailed from there, they’d know that. Despite their “Forever” tour taking them through Minneapolis on July 28th, Big Time Rush isn’t doing a midsummer tour pit stop in Duluth-the city their characters claimed to be from. The rebooted Big Time Rush isn’t even making a stop in their fake hometown of Duluth. Let’s be honest, he definitely wasn't that good if he didn’t even play Varsity in high school.ģ. Besides, we all know the Biebs took the BTR path by half-assing hockey and regrets it. And even though Bieber played youth hockey in Canada and is friends with Auston Matthews, even his hair isn’t up to par with Minnesota lettuce. If that red flag wasn’t enough, the boys flow was also flying at half mast as their hair was much more young-Bieber than Barry Melrose anytime, ever. ![]() Plus, they would have known it would be much harder to go D1 in Los Angeles, where they were spending more time singing than skating. If the members of Big Time Rush were really “hockey players from Minnesota,” they would never have dropped everything to leave mid-season. There’s no inbetweeners - here in Minnesota it’s always hockey season, and there’s no dimmer switch for the passion. You either are obsessed with the sport and play, or you don’t (but secretly wish you did). Anyone who lives in the State of Hockey knows that you don’t half-play hockey in high school like the BTR boys did. Their hair game is weak and they too easily gave up hockey. Now, this is false advertising!īut when I reflected on this misleading information (and even re-watched an episode from a completely different perspective, now in my mid-20s) there were several warning signs that members of the group were Minnesota imposters from the start: NOT ONE OF THEM HAILED FROM THE NORTH STAR STATE. The four-Logan, Kendall, James, and Carlos-hailed from Texas, Kansas, New York, and Missouri respectively. When we went to see if they had a hometown stop on their tour, it came to our attention that they weren’t really from Minnesota at all. ![]() However, we held strong to the fact that BTR would always have a place in our hearts because they were from Minnesota. My friend and I, who were in late middle school to early high school when the show ran, heard this and laughed at how cheesy the show was. That said, BTR’s time in the Land of 10,000 Lakes isn’t long, as in the first episode the guys audition in a talent show and an agent snatches them up and ships them off to Los Angeles.Īster the TV show ended, BTR lost relevance for over a decade, but are exeperiencing a recent resurgence having just dropped some new singles and announced their “Forever” comeback tour. ![]() Their fictional TV show followed four high school aged hockey players from Minnesota in their rise to fame. ![]() Big Time Rush (BTR) not only toured the country and had countless tween girl Stans, they also had a hit TV show on Nickelodeon that ran from 2009 to 2014. Notice that nowhere in my list did I mention the breakout boy band Big Time Rush.
