The band performed a song called, "Band", in the semifinal round of '' America's Got Talent '' on August 2 , 2006 . Their performance was not well received by the judges and the studio audience. Brandy went so far as saying she was not responsible for the selection of the band in the semifinals. On the viewers' results show the next day, the band was one of the lowest-three vote getters of the night.
