Pilot

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.

The Session

The band rents a cheap studio to record a song. Because the band members have little money, they must do it at night when the rates are lower.

Joe performs well on the first ""take"" but feels that she can do better. After dozens of subsequent efforts, she gets frustrated and smashes her guitar. Fortunately, Owen saved the first take, and that's the version they use. Meanwhile, Sarah can't stop giggling. And Siobahn interjects her unwanted opinions on everything, finally causing Doc to end their relationship. SlipDog leaves the studio in the morning with a new drummer and a good recording.
