Next Great American Band’s host, judges announced FOX’s fall talent search The Next Great American Band has announced its host and judges, and two of them are associated with versions of FOX’s other talent show. The three judges are John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls, musician Sheila E., and Australian Idol judge Ian “Dicko” Dickson. The show will be hosted by Dominic Bowden, who hosts New Zealand Idol. “Last week, the judges took part in a Las Vegas round in which they narrowed the field,” USA TODAY reports. Of the performers, “the youngest is a 12-year-old drummer and the oldest is an 88-year-old grandmother.” Sheila E. said, “The experience was more like boot camp. We actually heard a lot of great bands, (and) we heard a few people we could have gonged. … The range of music is awesome.”

I have a good friend that went to the semi finals in this. He went to L.A. for 15 days. The band's name is Red Halo, they're awesome! So I will definately be watching.

Well I'm disappointed. They showed a 5 second clip of my friends band. But if you go to fox.com and click photos they are on the freaking front page! Well as of right now anyway. I'm pissed he didn't tell.

Anyone watching? So far the only one I can see buying an album from is The Likes of You. They did a good job on Blowin' in the Wind.

I love the Clark Brothers! What is wrong with me? They are so not my type of music but they are great fun. I didn't like Rocket. I agreed the kids should keep their shirts on. This show is strange, and will never be a hit like American Idol.

OK well I will keep rambling on alone about this show... I really enjoyed Franklin Bridge - that original song was the same as at their audition and it is a GREAT song. It should be on the radio. Dot Dot Dot were completely dumb. Is anyone actually voting on this show, or just watching?

I watched but not voting. I like The Clark Brothers, Sixwire, and Cliff Wagner and the Old #7. I didn't care for the all girl band. They were awful.

Are they voting off just one band each week? Are the Old #7 the bluegrass band, or the Clark Brothers, or both? Oh and the Muggs - love the guitar playing, not crazy about the actual guitar player.

Why did they shoot it outside? Did you notice the judges holding their papers to the table in the heavy wind? LOL I smell a show done on the cheap.

Tobor, I wondered that also. Plus it was like 1000 degrees, so you would think that in that environment the band's equipment would malfunction or not be at optimum performance.

The acoustics were bad outside also. Once I saw the outside scene... I stopped watching the series. I'm glad they moved it inside.

Yes that was bizarre, having the auditions in the desert for no apparent reason. No reason at ALL. I answered my own question about how many bands are voted off - the TV guide says "two bands are voted off, the remaining ten bands perform."

If anyone's interested The Likes of You and The Hatch got the axe.

I finally watched all episodes this morning. It definitely isn't American Idol but it is fun. I am glad the 13 year olds put on their top and though I wasn't a huge fan of them, they went way up in my book at how well they handle judges compared to the all girl band Rocket and Muggs. The judges are right in both cases the lead vocals are crappy. But, beyond that I can't stand when people are rude or argumentative to the judges so blah on them! Loving the Clark Bros and Sixthwire and one more but can't remember their name!

Ha ha, how funny was it when they asked the eliminated band what they think of America's decision, and one of the guys said something like, "If I thought it was America's decision, it would be one thing, but it's probably like 300 people in Nebraska, so..." I wonder who is voting though, Rocket and Dot Dot Dot suck worse than the Hatch and The Likes of You. Not my favorites but still. Agree with Stacey about the "talking back." Another great song by Franklin Bridge, I am going to buy their cd folks.
