If you like This is Spinal Tap you will love this show. The difference is this is a REAL band - ZO2 - and you should check out their CDs. The show depicts their real life with a bit of improvising and lots of humor. As any musician knows stardom and being discovered does not come easy. There are many side-jobs just to pay the bills and there is a ton of schmoozing to make the right connections.

All of the guest stars hilariously play themselves and NYC is a character in itself much like it was on Sex and the City.

Jump on the ZO2 and Z Rock bandwagon or you'll be kicking yourself if you lose out on the fun and great music.

What happens when a NYC rock band becomes more popular as a kids birthday band than what their real dream is? Tune into Z Rock to find out :)

The show is hilarious with great guest appearances throughout the season. Jay Oakerson (Neil) and Lynne Koplitz (Dina) are hilarious and the Zo2 guys shine through the whole season, bringing their sense of humor and passion for music to the forefront.

It needs to be noted too that David Z, Paulie Z and Joey do make up the real band - Zo2... and seeing them live will convert nearly everyone over to the Z Side. As a fan of Zo2 for nearly 5 years (and Z Rock since the second I heard about it), I believe that anyone who gives the band a real chance will love them. They are great guys and have amazing music. I highly suggest anyone and everyone both watch Z Rock and check out their new CD "Casino Logic"... I doubt you'll be disappointed!

I heard of these guys in the summer of 2008 with their song "Isolate" from Ain't It Beautiful. Then, I heard from my buddy they have a show on IFC, but I didn't have that channel. I waited for this to come out on DVD and I immediately bought this...watch it so many times...its funny...its very original...so many guest stars...make the show extra funny...I recommend this for a good laugh...ROCK ON ZO2..

My wife and I caught these guys in Houston, Texas when they opened for KISS. We thought they blew KISS off the stage and stole the whole show. We became instant fans!! I don't know why these guys don't have a recording contract, but if you like to "Rock", check out their music. I was thrilled to find these guys on TV,the show is hilarious. Z02 Rocks as hard as another three man band from Texas with a "Z"!!!

Outrageous,clever, and filled with fun facts about being in a band. Add in plenty of great character performances, cool music and guest stars willing to go over the top and you have a must see show. Who else but Paulie would shave a "Z" into his pubic hair and call it a promotional tool?

This partly scripted comedy from IFC is reminiscent of other similarly designed shows such as 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'. Featuring handheld camera set-ups, a mockumentary style and plenty of guest stars, the show revolves around the group known alternately as ZO2 and Z Brothers, depending on whether they are playing in hard rock nightclubs or for children's birthday parties. What I find most appealing about the main characters is the juxtaposition of aspiring hard rock star with children's entertainers. The guys actually enjoy performing for children, just not as much as their rock shows. The lyrics for their children's songs straddle the line between sweet & innocent and risque double entendres (their birthday song is called 'Blow it Hard', meaning the candles supposedly). But the guys are not cynics merely cashing in an easy paycheck. The band's manager, Dina is perfectly played by (the BEAUTIFUL!) Lynne Koplitz as a hard-working, affectionate 'den mother' willing to do anthing (or anyone) to get her boys their big break. I myself am not that fond of the Neil character as I find his characterization to be somewhat scattershot and only occasionally funny. I'll also admit that it took a little while for this show to grow on me, but now, you couldn't pay me to miss an episode...

I am a big Fan! A must-see. Can't wait for season 2 to be released

I stumbled upon this show by accident and found it to be hilarious. These guys are something else and their manager is the best! I love Joan Rivers in this series as she pokes fun at herself as well as others. Z02 ROCKS!

I love this show, it is seriously one or the funniest shows on tv. Then the band is even better, great rock music.

had to order Season 1 because I came on late watching the show...it's a really fun show! you don't get enough of their music by watching the show only, so definitely order the CD with it....they really do rock!
