I'm totally watching this one.

I love chick rockers. I'm serious.

As if there weren't enough music contest shows already: now the CW is entering the fray to find the next all-girl rock group. Enlisting the help of former members of '80s bands the Go-Go's and the Bangles, the soon-to-launch network is hoping to premiere the series sometime next season.

Stacy Sher and Michael Shamberg will exec produce, along with America's Next Top Model exec producer Anthony Dominici, who will be the program's showrunner. The Go-Go's Kathy Valentine and Charlotte Coffey and the Bangles' Susannah Hoffs and Vicki Peterson will be credited as co-exec producers. The four musicians also will have an on-camera presence, most likely serving as advisers to the contestants.

The show's producers reportedly are hoping what distinguishes this non-scripted contest show from the others is its focus on contestants who not only sing, but who play their own instruments as well.
