What do One Direction, Menudo, B2K, Bell Biv DeVoe, The Wanted, NSYNC, The Jonas Brother, Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block all have in common? They are all Boy Bands, of course! In the new IFC Comedy Crib series BOY BAND, former boy band member and impresario, Shane, has been given the chance to discover and mold the next vocal group sensation. This hysterical boy band spoof offers an impressive cast consisting of series writers Brett Davis & Julio Torres as the band architect and overbearing image consultant, Jo Firestone as the high strung tour manger, John Early as a vivacious TV host, Anna Drezen as a troubled media czar, Ana Fabrega as a love struck college intern, Colin Burgess as the often ignored vocal coach, Christi Chiello & Dan Chamberlain as radio personalities, Matt Barats as a talent scout, John Ambrosio, John Higgins & Stuart Garrity as the teen band members, and Darren Mabee as a roadie. Watch as the creation of this talentless pop group swirls out of control quickly. Enjoy!
