DISNEY CHANNEL Original Series "Even Stevens" Brings BBMak "Back Here"
British pop trio BBMak will guest-star in an episode of DISNEY CHANNEL's original series "Even Stevens."

The episode, titled "Star Struck," will air in conjunction with the launch of the series' second season, on June 15 at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

In the episode, Ren Stevens' best friend, Ruby, gives up her obsession with BBMak to pursue a meaningful relationship with Louis Stevens. Ruby doesn't realize, however, that while in pursuit of Louis she will get to meet her favorite group after all. BBMak will perform their hit song "Unpredictable."

Hollywood Records recording artists BBMak feature the melodic styling of Mark Barry, Christian Burns and Ste McNally. Daily Variety called their live show "an impressive showing in what may well be a preview of much bigger things to come." The U.K. natives' debut single, "Back Here," was a Top Five hit in the United States and paved the way for their smash debut album, "Sooner or Later."

BBMak can next be seen kicking off the much-anticipated N*SYNC tour in May.

Since their launch onto the American music scene, BBMak have opened for Britney Spears and have appeared on TV shows such as "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," "Live With Regis," "The View," "Good Morning America" and "MTV's New Year's Eve Bash."

"Even Stevens" follows the misadventures of Louis Stevens, a typical middle-school kid, and his overachiever older sister Ren. How does an ordinary kid live outside the shadow of his super-successful sibling? And how does the older sister of the junior high class clown live down the embarrassment of a younger brother who will do absolutely anything to get a laugh?

The series stars Shia La Beouf ("Breakfast With Einstein") as Louis Stevens; Christy Romano ("Looking for an Echo") as Ren Stevens; Nick Spano ("Body Shots") as their brother Donnie; Donna Peskow ("Angie," "Saturday Night Fever") as their mom, Eileen; and Tom Virtue ("Introducing Dorothy Dandridge") as their dad, Steve.
