Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 3/14/02

Jace Darnell is the hopeful front man of the struggling rock band SlipDog. Undaunted by his band's lack of success and a lack of support from his father, the self-proclaimed "super sexed-up" vocalist pushes his group towards the ultimate goals of fame and fortune. Jace's bandmates include spaced-out guitarist Doc, punky bassist Joe, and dumb-jock drummer Danny. In the opener, Jace makes a deal with their sleazy manager Dole, who's forced to become their manager only after the band is unable to pay for his services such as rehearsal space; Jace meets and offends the beautiful Sarah unaware that she could be what SlipDog needs; and the band goes to the extremes to get their new demo tape played on the radio.moreless
