Allstar Weekend is a pop/rock band from San Diego, California, made up of four cute guys named Zach Porter (Lead Singer), Nathan Darmody (Guitarist), Cameron Quiseng (Bassist), and Michael Martinez (Drummer). Zach and Nathan started writing songs in high school. Then they decided to form a band where they asked Cameron and Michael to join. Michael was the only one who didn’t go to school with them; he went to the rival school.
One day the boys decide to drive up to Los Angeles for the premier of the Jonas Brothers 3D Concert movie. The four boys stood outside handing out flyers and free cd’s. That night a Disney producer got a hold of their cd and he passed it on to Radio Disney. A few days later they got an email from the people at Radio Disney asking if they want to join a contest called “The Next Big Thing”. They agreed to join but they ended up losing. The exposure from the competition lead too many show cases for major labels, they chose and signed with Hollywood Records.
After opening shows for people like Emily Osment, Jonas Brothers, and Selena Gomez they released a cd. They did lots of promotion at the Radio Disney studios. The station’s studio is “practically home away from home” says Cameron Quiseng. Their singles “Come Down With Love” and “Dance Forever” from their album “Suddenly Yours” were constantly requested on Radio Disney, the songs made it to the Top 30 Countdown.
Their newest single “Not Your Birthday” is an upbeat dancy song. “Not Your Birthday is about living life to the fullest, 365 days a year” says Nathan Darmody. Ever since the song was released it became number one on Radio Disney’s Top 30 Countdown and it was on Z100 countdown too. This song is definitely a catchy song, when you listen to it at least once it’ll be stuck in your head. It’s a good song to play while you’re hanging out with your friends and dancing around.
