This will never top Jersey Shore, but there's allegedly a new reality show in the works called The Scene…LES, that ”straddles the line between the music world and the real life drama of up and coming Singer-Songwriters who live around and play the circuit of performance venues on the Lower East Side of New York City.” Isn't the music scene in Brooklyn now?
The Craigslist ad reads: "The program will primarily focus on 8-10 of the best up and comers following them through their successes, failures, struggles, relationships and ambitions as they navigate their way through the myriad of challenges that is the music world today. We are not just seeking songwriters, but actors, actresses, scenesters… people who inhabit the L.E.S music scene. We want real characters who can bring an added dimension of interest and credibility to the forum. ie: bloggers, journalists, fans…etc."
The show will be produced by Jimmy Lloyd Productions, which Bowery Boogie points out currently broadcasts a show on WNBC’s NY NonStop." Since they're stressing how real this is all going to be, we're guessing there won't be any free-rent living situation at THOR or Blue.
