MTV Announces Rock On Band Hunt

MTV’s answer to Channel V’s Launchpad is Kurkure Desi Beats Rock On with MTV. Now we’re not saying judge a book by its cover, but ‘Kurkure Desi Beats Rock On’ doesn’t inspire us to believe that a hardcore metal act is going to be the result of this talent hunt. For that matter, neither does Kareena Kapoor.

This new Making the Band style hunt will be judged by Kailash Kher, Ram Sampat (of Colourblind, and, er indipop) and VJ Nikhil. Auditions will be held in four cities. Dates

July 9 – Swabhumi Heritage Plaza, Kolkata
July 12 – Ambedkar Bhavan, New Delhi
July 15 – Jnana Jyoti Auditorium, Bengaluru
July 19 – MTV Studios, Mumbai

More details as we get them. Till then, check out the MTV Rock On page, the main attraction of which is a video of Kareena Kapoor breaking a snare drum.

Did the Faridkot dudes pick the wrong reality show?
