(6/15/99, 1 a.m. PDT) - "Hip-pop" trio EYC (Express Yourself Clearly) has been added to the lineup of this summer's Nickelodeon All That Music & More Festival. Other acts on the 37-city tour include 98 Degrees, Monica, B*Witched, Tatyana Ali, 3rd Storee, No Authority, Aaron Carter, Baby DC, and more.

EYC consists of Damon Butler, David Loeffler, and Trey Parker (not to be confused with the South Park creator of the same name). Butler tells us that the fun part of this tour will be getting to know all the other groups on the bill. "It's always fun when you are doing a tour like this, because there's so many people there, and there's so many different artists," he says. "When we've got big tours like [this], we actually get to hang out and interact with the other groups, and get to meet them, and see how they are as people."

The band has sold over 500,000 albums outside of the U.S., and now it is taking its act back home. It's interesting to note that the Backstreet Boys used to be the opening act for EYC in Europe, years before they became a household name. EYC's upcoming album, Feel It, will be in stores on June 29.
