26 mins

This eight-part, half-hour, dramatic-comedy series charts the path of struggling indie rock outfit, Boy Crazy Stacey (BCS), a band trying to take over the world - one disaster at a time. Frontman Nash Taylor is a swaggering wannabe rock god desperately trying to hide his inner nerd. Armed with big ambitions and even bigger insecurities, Nash loves being part of the uber-hip indie music scene, even if it doesn't always love him back. Like every musician, Nash dreams big but it's the lifestyle, the feeling of belonging and self-worth that comes from being part of a community of 'cool' which drives him. Now, after too many supports and not enough headliners, it's time to take the band to the next level. But with no money, no label and his do-gooder younger brother managing the band, Nash has his work cut out for him. And he's soon about to suffer a blow that may undo all his grand schemes - Nash Taylor is about to fall in love - Tonight, Nash develops a big crush on super-cute bass player, Comet, and asks her to join his band. Problem is, he's already got a bass player - his little brother Jasper. Meanwhile, Nash's ex-girlfriend Jane writes a less than flattering review of Boy Crazy Stacey and Nash's angst is compounded when lead guitarist Val sleeps with Jane.
