Z Rock anyone?

Is anyone else watching this show in IFC?
It's about a real rock band called ZO2, and while they are trying to make it into the music biz, they play kids parties as the Z Brothers, kind of a rock n' roll Wiggles type of band.

Despite my initial reservations, this show is actually pretty funny, and they get into some strange situations, especially at the kid's parties. The guys in the band are really likable and you can tell they've actually done these kids shows in the past.

It's very much in the style of Entourage, and there have been some celebrity cameos; John Popper showed up this week and played himself as a complete scumbag. :lol:

My only issue with the show is whoever plays their manager needs some acting lessons. The show loses steam whenever she's on screen.
 
Is this anything like that HBO show about that... Australian duo? I can't quite come up with the name right now.
 
Is that Flight of the Concords or something? I gave up HBO a few years ago so I haven't been watching anything new on HBO.
 
So wait, they're a real music act but the show is fake? Sort of like Curb Your Enthusiasm?

That's pretty much it. Also, see 'Tenacious D' for something else that's similar.

They were a real act before the show. They perform many of their songs in the show, but everything outside of those songs is complete fiction.

Here's a non-music part of the show.
 
Ah yeah, fair enough. It's weird because I'm a "meta"-fiction whore but I've never caught the show.
