About the band, Allstar Weekend

Allstar Weekend is an American pop/Rock band from Poway, California.  The band got their popularity from the Disney Channel TV network.
Zachary David Porter - lead vocals
Nathan Sean Darmody - lead guitar, vocals
Cameron Michael Quiseng - bassist
Michael Allen Martinez - drummer 
In June 2010, they began their first headlining tour, Suddenly Summer Tour.
Zach, Nathan, and Cameron attended high school together at Poway High, and Micheal Martinez was a friend of both of the boys before they started the band. Nathan and Cameron attended primary, middle, and high school together. Michael attended a rival high school but was still awesome friends with the other three members of the band. He met them when he contacted them from MySpace when he asked if they needed a drummer for the band, he then showed them many of his videos from YouTube . Allstar Weekend is not their original band name. Zach Porter chose the name Outerspace Politicians which was changed to Allstar. This name started to be a problem, so they changed their name to Allstar Weekend. According to many interviews, they chose the word "Weekend" to be added into the name because weekends are often loved by many people.
The way they became famous is when they became contestants on Disney Channel's Next Big Thing (NBT).
When they were on NBT their band name was Allstar, not Allstar Weekend.
They lost the contest but soon signed a contract with Hollywood Records and began working on their debut album right away. 
On March, 17, 2010, the band released their debut single, "A Different Side of Me."
 They also redid "I just can't wait to be king" from the Lion King.

Live Members:
Ben Ross—guitar, keyboard
Dillon Anderson—guitar, keyboard, backup vocals

Well that's it for today, Allstar Weekend fans!
