The Next Great American Band

Show Summary

The producers of ``American Idol'' open auditions to find promising but undiscovered musical groups. Beyond that, you know the drill: Judges narrow aspiring bands down to 10 semi-finalists, who perform in front of a live studio audience, with viewers at home voting for their favorites. The final three acts compete for a recording contract and the chance to become superstars. Or not. But the contract, at least, is a solid.
