The LA Times has an article about the power The O.C. has to propel a band from fringe to mainstream. Just ask The Killers, Death Cab for Cutie, or Rooney, whose album sales tripled after the band performed on one episode. The article features bandmates from Citizens Here and Abroad, a San Francisco rock group, who shipped a CD to producers of The O.C. in hopes of getting some exposure. It turns out, they're not the only band doing that.
Other interesting tidbits:
- The woman who supervises music for The O.C. does the same job for Grey's Anatomy, Without a Trace, and Rescue Me.
- There are as many as 14 songs per episode of The O.C.
- The O.C. commissioned '80s cover songs from Nada Surf, Jem, and Youth Group.
Why did I give up this show? God, I'm totally having withdrawals.
