5.0 out of 5 stars So Much Fun!, October 28, 2008

By 

Music Lover (New York) - See all my reviews

I recently saw the Band from TV in concert, which is what made me so excited that this CD/DVD was coming out. It is so much fun to hear and see your favorite TV stars in a new element, singing and playing instruments. It's so obvious that they are having the time of their lives performing in this band, and it's even better that the proceeds go to charity. I have the CD on repeat and the DVD features bring the band to life. Get your hands on this great combo set immediately!

3.0 out of 5 stars Band From TV - Hoggin All The Covers, March 11, 2009

Band From TV is a collection of actors who dabble in music, plus a few professional musicians to fill in the gaps in talent. You won't likely hear any of these songs played on your local radio station; however, that's not to say that it's bad. These folks are actually better than most of the garage bands that we remember from high school or college. This is something of a unique concept because all of the profit from the sales of this CD/DVD combo are being donated to charity organizations (watch the special features on the DVD to find out more). The DVD contains a live concert performed in front of an audience and the CD that goes with it was recorded lives as well - although there is one song on the CD which was not on the DVD. The 13 songs on the CD are a combination of Pop, R&B, and Country tunes that are well known. They range from somewhat current, Garth Brooks' "Papa Loved Mama", to Golden Oldies, The Kink's "You Really Got Me", and Elvis' "Viva Las Vegas". There is such a variety of songs in this colletion that everyone should like at least two of the them. I recommend watching the DVD first because there are moments that happen on the stage between numbers that are truly magic and do not translate well on the CD. Bottom line on this one is it's worth the money if you can accept the fact that these are less than perfect performances from part-time musicians who wanted to have some fun and raise money for worthy charities at the same time. The CD would be great for parties!

I was privileged to be able to attend the taping of this CD in a state-of-the-art sound studio near Los Angeles. The live sound was lush and vibrant, the best I have ever heard, and the band had great rapport with the audience. These qualities of great sound and a vivacious performance come through in the CD, making it very enjoyable. I recommend it.
