BRAVO PUTS VIEWERS IN THE FRONT ROW FOR THE HOTTEST TICKET IN HOLLYWOOD FOR THE PREMIERE OF 'DAN FINNERTY & THE DAN BAND: I AM WOMAN'

THE ONE-HOUR CONCERT SPECIAL AIRS JUNE 2

BURBANK � May 6, 2005 - Bravo is taking viewers "front row-center" for the hottest concert in Hollywood during its one-hour musical special "Dan Finnerty & The Dan Band: I Am Woman," as the all-guy band known for their high-voltage, female empowering performance takes center stage. A cult-hit amongst the celebrity sub-culture of Hollywood, viewers everywhere can sing along to their favorite femme renditions seen only on Bravo in a special premiere Thursday, June 2 (11 p.m. � 12 midnight ET).

The Dan Band is the product of actor-singer Finnerty's initial fascination with karaoke that spiraled into a new phenomenon. The result is a comedic and captivating performance that has played to sold-out, celebrity-filled crowds night after night. The set list pays homage to a legion of women who know how to take matters into their own hands. Opening with the unforgettable "Shoop" by Salt-n-Pepa, Finnerty and his backup singers -- Gene Reed and John Kozeluh -- forge through the show with a bevy of classic hits including "Ring My Bell" by Anita Ward, "Nasty" by Janet Jackson, "Slave 4 U" by Britney Spears and "Hold On" by Wilson Phillips.

Finnerty and his band first caught America's attention as the foul-mouthed wedding singer in the box-office smash "Old School" (performing their now-infamous rendition of "Total Eclipse of the Heart"). They also appeared as the sleazy bat-mitzvah band in the feature version of "Starsky & Hutch."

The special is produced for Bravo by Coming Home Studios, Wonderland Sound and Vision, and DreamWorks Television.
