Band history

Greg Grunberg had the idea for Band From TV after a performance 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 and as of 2007 plays high-paying charity concertscite web | url = http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-08-28-celebbands-main_x.htm?POE=LIFISVA | title = TV stars jump off the screen and behind the mike | accessdate = 2007-12-06 | date = 2006-08-28 | work = USA Today | publisher = Gannett Company, Inc. ] 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"cite web | url = http://www.amazon.com/House-M-D-Original-Television-Soundtrack/dp/B000UZ4CSQ | title = House M.D. Original Television Soundtrack (SOUNDTRACK) | accessdate = 2007-12-06 | publisher = Amazon.com ] , as well as releasing their own album: "Hoggin' All the Covers" (recorded in July 2007).cite web | url = http://www.bandfromtv.org/store.html | title = Band From TV Store | accessdate = 2007-12-06 | publisher = Band From TV ]
