In the series, ZO2 guitarists and real life brothers Paulie Z and David Z and drummer Joey Cassata play a fictional band leading a double-life: By night they are a hard-partying rockers, but by day they play children's birthday parties. Here they are in day mode: And here they are by night: Joan Rivers, incidentally, plays the band manager's aunt. Other celebrity guests who will appear in the show include Sebastian Bach, Gilbert Gottfried, The Whitest Kids U'Know and Dave Navarro. Watch for the premiere of Z ROCK August 24 on IFC.

This is so amazing. I've been a HUGE fan of ZO2 ever since I first saw them open for Kiss and Poison in 2004. These guys have tons of talent and are extremely dedicated, they deserve this show and to make it big.

Just to clear up any confusion, Paulie, David, and Joey are real-life rockers ZO2. The band certainly exists outside and independent of your television screen.

I had a chance to meet Paulie in cancun. We had a unusual conversations packed in a span of 45 mins. I even commented on his wife! haha but it was innocent... while my wife was waiting for me to go to dinner. We spoke about life and Marriage, and how we both need to workout more. I dared him to get into the Freezing cold dip tub they had beside the hot tub. Crazy guy! Paulie Good luck buddie! Im sure we will one day party like a rockstar. You just keep playing like an all-star. Did Joan Rivers know she was smiling?
