Band From TV is definitely in the exception category as not only does the band feature some of the most well-known actors from some of the hottest shows on television, but they all are actually competent musicians that collectively cover some great songs. This isn’t an ego thing, nor is it to make money for an extra wing on their house. No, this is celebrities using their powers for good by using the spotlight being a high profile actor grants them to raise money for their favorite charities.
