Bad boy Chuck Bass has a band…

Say that five times fast, right?
Well, technically, it’s actor Ed Westwick—he plays smarmy rich boy Chuck on “Gossip Girl”—who’s doing double duty as a musician.
The 20-year-old Brit is also the frontman for the indie rock band, The Filthy Youth, which has been playing gigs around London.
Being a show that prides itself on finding the latest cool music—which also promotes a project by a CW star, of course—“GG” will be featuring some of the band’s songs in next week’s episode (Jan. 2).
That episode, “School Lies,” has Chuck, Serena, Blair, Nate and their minions sneaking into the school to frolic in the swimming pool. But as with most high school hijinks, the plan goes awry: When someone nearly drowns, the school threatens to expel the person responsible for the break-in.
The show highlights two songs by Westwick’s band: He says that “Orange” is about “ripping it up” with your friends (awww!) and “Come Flash All You Ladies” is about, um, certain women who’ve flitted through Westwick’s life.
Any of them have the initials of S or B?
Anyway, to get an advance listen, just go to the band’s MySpace page at www.myspace.com/thefilthyyouth.
And I’ve gotta say: XOXO, Filthy Youth…you ain’t half bad.
