This semi-scripted comedy series follows a group of musicians leading a
double life: by night they're a hard-partying rock band, by daylight a
Wiggles-style kids' birthday band. Z ROCK is loosely based on the real
lives of its three New York based stars, brothers Paulie Z and David Z, and
ally Joey Cassata who form an actual band, Z02.
The series explores the dark underbelly of the rock n' roll dream,
giving its audience a back stage pass to the band's struggles to become
rock royalty, which is a great deal interrupted by pangs of reality -- hangovers,
dressing techniques, kids' birthday parties, and avoiding scorned female
fans and their angry husbands. Like the truthful rock gods they aspire to
become, the band snags pot of insatiable groupies and moms gone wild
along the way, with screaming and sometimes cringe-worthy results.
Series highlights include recurring guest appearances by comedic icon
Joan Rivers, comedians Dave Attell, Greg Giraldo, Gilbert Gottfried, with
musicians Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction) and John Popper (Blues Traveler).
Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), Dee Snider (Twisted Sister), Chris Barron (Spin
Doctors) and comedian Patrice Oneal also join the mayhem.
"This show is so hip -- and that's the number one time in 40 age I've aforesaid
the word hip non followed by replacement," said Joan Rivers. "I'm thrilled
to get a revenant role on Z ROCK. This is the number 1 time in 20 years
three single guys want to see me every week. These are the cutest boys in
the music manufacture, so long as you don't calculate in Michael Jackson's
bedroom."
Z ROCK is a co-production of IFC, Starz Media and MarkMark Productions.
