Big Time Rush, which consists of Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos Pena, Jr., and Logan Henderson, is a band off the hit Nickelodeon series of the same name. The show is about four hockey playing best friends from Minnesota who get swooped up by a big time record producer and are shipped off to Los Angeles in hopes of becoming the next pop boy band sensation. New episodes air Fridays and/or Saturdays at 8:30PM EST.
There are two bands and an improv group called The Beets. 1. The Beets are a garage rock/psychedelic band from Jackson Heights, NY. Lots of reverb, minimalistic drumming, some backwoods vibes, and shouted vocals sung by all three band members. Similar to Thee Oh Sees. They recently released their debut, Spit In The Face Of People Who Don't Want To Be Cool, which was limited to 200 hand-painted copies, on Blank Dogs' label Captured Tracks.
