Clearwater Rocks?

Since I can barely stand to be close to a television anymore when American Idol is on, I went ahead and made a decision last night to not watch Fox ’s “The Next Great American Band”. I admit I enjoyed the first three or four season of American Idol, but after seeing the show “Rock Star” and realizing that every single contestant on Rock Star was more talented than any of the Top 10 American Idol has ever produced in any of their seasons, I became disenchanted.
But, I digress. Apparently, one of the 12 bands on “The Next Great American Band” is from right here in Clearwater. “Tres Bien,” is a group of recent Clearwater High graduates now vying for a chance to win a recording contract with “19 Recordings” label.
I still might not watch, but I’m absolutely cheering for these former Tornadoes. While the music scene in the Tampa Bay area is absolutely NOT stagnant, it’s still refreshing to see a young band get a bigger opportunity.
Hey that’s cool that a local band is getting some very much deserved recognition. Even if they don’t win, they’re still out there getting seen and are likely to be picked up anyhow. ^_^
