Go-Go Get Your Bangles: Here Comes America’s Next Top Girl Band!

BanglesMove over, American Idol. There’s serious girl power in the room. Kathy Valentine and Charlotte Caffey of the Go-Gos and Susanna Hoffs and Vicki Peterson of the Bangles fame are rockin’ out a new reality show for the CW’s first season. These women, members of the wildly popular—at least in the 1980s—‘girl bands’ the Go-Gos and the Bangles, are searching for women who know how to rock. And singing isn’t enough. Unlike the wusses

neophytes on American Idol, these contestants will have to know how to play an instrument, too. Now that’s reality!

The project began as a passion of Kathy Valentine’s, who lamented the lack of women rockers today. (We hear ya, Kathy!) With three more powerful gal musicians aboard, the show’s concept developed and is already promising to be a hit.

“Basically, we believe there are amazing female artists out there waiting for the opportunity to find each other,” Hoffs said. “We’re looking to find them and then be their fairy godmothers.”

Are you a rock-n-roll Cinderella in need of such a fairy godmother? Then get going! The music world needs you…and so does TV.
