.has anyone heard about Fox's new reality series, "American Band"?
"The producers behind mega-hit phenomenon 'American Idol' take the musical
reality genre to a whole new level with a mission to find undiscovered
American bands that are ready to rock the nation. From hair bands to
hip-hop, classic rockers to country crooners, the show scoured the country
seeking musical groups of all ages and styles, with hundreds of bands
auditioning for a backstage pass to stardom. From the auditions, judges will
narrow down the hopefuls to 10 semifinalist bands who will perform weekly in
front of a live studio audience. Viewers will vote for their favorite bands
to determine who stays in the competition. Each week, the bands will perform
either original music or covers of varied styles. The range of genres will
test their musical limits, and could also strike the wrong chord in their
personal and professional relationships. The season finale brings the
ultimate battle of the bands, with the last three groups competing to secure
a contract with 19 Recordings and the title of 'Next Great American Band.'"
Is there anyone who really believes a halfway decent group will emerge from
this.?
Best,
WiLL
