NEW REALITY SERIES TO AIR ON FOX SEARCHES FOR THE NEXT GREAT MUSICAL GROUP
The producers behind the mega-hit phenomenon AMERICAN IDOL take the musical reality genre to a whole new level when they embark on a quest to find the next American band sensation that will take the nation by storm. THE SEARCH FOR THE NEXT GREAT AMERICAN BAND (working title) will scour the country, seeking musical groups of all ages, styles and genres, with hundreds of bands auditioning for a shot at stardom.
After the auditions, judges will narrow down hopefuls from all walks of musical life – young and old, family and friends, garage bands and weekend warriors – to 10 semi-finalists who will perform in front of a live studio audience. Viewers will then get a chance to vote for their favorite bands via telephone and text messaging and determine who stays in the competition.
Each week, the bands will be challenged with varied musical themes, jazzing up each of the performance shows as their skills in a wide spectrum of musical styles are put to the test along with their personal and professional relationships.
Finally, in a not-to-be-missed showdown, the final three bands will compete to secure a recording contract. If you think AMERICAN IDOL is intense, wait until you see what a band must go through for its shot at fame.
The show is scheduled to air Fridays at 8:00PM in the Fall.
Comments
I like that they've developed a show completely for the people still not over the fact that Chris Daughtry got voted off!
I refuse to miss the not-to-be-missed showdown, though.
This will be the best way to watch American Idol until American Idol returns in 2008...
