GET READY FOR THE FUNNIEST BAND SINCE SPINAL TAP!
Z ROCK:
Season 1
Get a Backstage Pass on DVD June 9, 2009
Beverly Hills, CA; April 15, 2009 - On June 9, 2009, Anchor Bay Entertainment releases the IFC series
Z Rock: Season 1 on DVD. Not since Spinal Tap went to 11 has a group of musicians struggled so humorously with making it in the raucous world of rock 'n' roll. Part mock-doc and part real stories from the road (the group actually toured with KISS),
Z Rock: Season 1 is nothing like the TV bands of the past:
The Monkees and
Partridge Family were never as crude, rude, or hilarious as the boys from
Z Rock! The DVD contains all 10 episodes of the master mash-up of music and mirth, and is available for an SRP of $19.97.
Paulie Z, David Z and Joey C are a real Brooklyn rock band called ZO2. Their nights are filled with booze, babes and bad behavior, but the days are even stranger as the band has to change gears and entertain the kiddies as 'The Z Brothers' (think a warped version of
The Wiggles). It's a frenzied battle of the bands (and personas) as the guys jump back and forth between the two worlds, while always keeping an eye on breaking into the big leagues of the music biz.
Lynne Koplitz ("
Life and Style with Jules Asner") co-stars along with featured guests including comedians Joan Rivers, Gilbert Gottfried, Greg Giraldo and Dave Attell, and real-life rockers Dave Navarro, John Popper, Sebastian Bach, and Dee Snider.
Z Rock: Season 1 is the series that the
Pittsburg Post-Gazette proclaims is "Sweet, raunchy and funny!" DVD Extras includes "Behind The Mayhem" featurette, outrageous outtakes, behind the scenes footage, a music video and trailer.
The new season of
Z Rock premieres on IFC June 7, 2009!
