[edit] Band history
Greg Grunberg had the idea for Band From TV after performing at a House of Blues with several other celebrities garnered a surprising amount of fan interest. Grunberg made several connections that he would later bring together for Band From TV: he appeared on an episode of House ("Sex Kills") starring actor and musician Hugh Laurie as well as performing at a separate charity event with James Denton and Bob Guiney.
Band From TV made their debut at the 58th Primetime Emmy Awards TV Guide afterparty[1] and as of 2007 plays high-paying charity concerts[2] as well as performing for studio albums; Band From TV contributed a song ("You Can't Always Get What You Want") to the House M.D. Original Television Soundtrack[3], as well as releasing their own album: Hoggin' All the Covers (recorded in July 2007).[4][1]
