The Slumber Party Girls (SPG) were a teen pop ensemble from the United States, established in 2006. Their first album, Dance Revolution, was launched on October 3, 2006. Throughout the 2006–2007 television season, SPG served as hosts for the KOL Secret Slumber Party weekend programming block on CBS and acted as the resident band for the show Dance Revolution, which was presented by Radio KOL’s DJ Rick.
History
Created in July 2006 by music executive Ron Fair, who is recognized for introducing artists such as Christina Aguilera, Vanessa Carlton, the Black Eyed Peas, and the Pussycat Dolls, the group’s lineup—Scott, Scerbo, Deras, Carattini, and Low—was selected from a pool of over 1,000 auditionees.
Career
Shortly after their formation, SPG recorded their debut album and released an EP titled Meet the Slumber Party Girls on September 12, 2006. The CBS weekend block KOL Secret Slumber Party premiered on September 16, with SPG promoting messages about healthy nutrition and physical activity. The group’s track "The Slumber Party Girls Theme" was adopted as the theme song for this programming segment. Simultaneously, Dance Revolution premiered featuring SPG as the house band performing songs from their album on a weekly basis.
On October 3, 2006—the day their album was released—SPG appeared on CBS’s The Early Show to promote Dance Revolution and performed the single "Countdown". Announcements were made regarding plans for both a made-for-television movie and a TV series slated for 2007. Multiple music videos were produced to support the album; however, despite significant promotional efforts, the album failed to enter the Billboard 200 chart and did not achieve commercial success.
In 2007, SPG began developing a second album tentatively titled SPG, with intentions to release it later that year. However, internal conflicts reportedly involving members Low and Deras led to the group disbanding during the summer. As a result, their television projects and second album were canceled. Following the breakup, members embarked on individual careers. The KOL Secret Slumber Party block continued broadcasting until September 8, 2007. Two of SPG’s songs, "Summer's Gone" and "My Life", were included in the soundtrack of the film Bratz.
Post-breakup
Afterward, Scerbo pursued acting and secured a role in the television series Make It or Break It. She also signed a solo recording deal with Geffen Records, releasing tracks such as "Betcha Didn't Know," "Sugar and Spice," and "Top of the World" on iTunes in 2008. Low also ventured into acting with appearances in the interactive series Hampton High Revealed and a recurring role on the ABC Family program Lincoln Heights. Meanwhile, Deras focused on studies in manufacturing and merchandising at FIDM and manages a well-followed fashion blog called Karla's Closet.
