Netflix Rents Band From TV; Hayden Panettiere

When Teri Hatcher and ‘Desperate Housewives’ plumber James Denton slaughtered a pop song at the MTV Movie Awards, I thought they were just kidding. Apparently, the cover band that includes fellow TV stars Greg Grunberg, Adrian Pasdar, Jesse Spencer, and Bob Guiney is serious. Or at least making serious bank. People are actually doling out real money to hear them play, and the band is transforming its bad music into a good cause.
The latest donor is Netflix. The online DVD rental house gave a chunk of change to Grunberg’s personal cause the Pediatric Epilepsy Project in order to get the band to play at its Netflix Live! summer festival in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park.
Grunberg’s ‘Heroes’ co-star Hayden Panettiere also sang a couple of numbers. Staying on key is not one of Claire Bennet’s superpowers. No wonder her voice is so effects-laden on “Wake Up Call.”
Audience members didn’t seem to mind -- or even notice. Especially when ‘House’s’ Hugh Laurie showed up to slaughter “Such a Night” and ‘Chuck’s’ Zack Levi mangled a duet with Guiney. Performing badly seemed to be event’s long-running gag, and just as it was growing stale, things moved on to the next stage: screening old TV shows, which by comparison seemed fresh.
