This afternoon, B5 was featured on "All My Children", ABC's long running daytime soap. One of the main characters on the show is Erica Kane, portrayed by Susan Lucci.

On the show, at this point in time, Kane is in prison. Outside of the facility, a group of supporters is rallying for her release. When, all of a sudden, B5 shows up. One woman in the jail instantly recognizes them. They immediately begin a performance of "Erika Kane", a track named in honor of the popular soap character.

They performed a portion of the track before a commercial break and then performed the rest (or close) after the show returned, including Kelly's rap verse.

B5 has been nominated in the "Music Group or Duo" category in the Popstar! Magazine Poptastic Awards! You can vote online.

On the B5 forums, the group's manager, Jim McMahan, announced that they are now offering personalized video messages (along with autographed items) for a fee, ranging from $50 (video message from one member of B5 plus an autographed picture from that member, personalized) to $200 (video message from all members of B5 and both members of Myxx, another act managed by McMahan's JAMM Entertainment, a phone call from both members of Myxx and some members of B5 and a personal item from a B5 member, autographed by that member).

Personally, I think this is a cool idea because it offers something I can see people wanting and offers it at an affordable price. B5 is in an interesting position in that they do have a number of fans, but not the fanbase of a major act. So, they can do something like this at an affordable rate and not have it become overwhelming. It allows them to generate extra revenue in a unique way while giving fans a unique gift experience.

Update: According to B5's management, it's unclear when the video will air. Stay posted.

B5 will be featured on ABC's daytime soap, "All My Children" on April 25. For those that don't know, Erica Kane is a long running, popular character on the show. On the show, she is apparently locked up in one way or another with people holding a rally for her freedom. B5 will appear at this fictional rally and perform their song.

The article also notes that B5 has shot a video for the song, that features Erica Kane in handcuffs. But, it's unclear when this will be appearing - perhaps it will be a part of the show.
