TheWB.com – a premium, ad-supported, video-on-demand, interactive and personalized network – today announced the final list of bands to be featured in the first season of “Rockville, CA,” the music-themed scripted web series created by Josh Schwartz (“Gossip Girl,” “Chuck,” “The O.C.”). Production on the show began in October at The Echo, a popular club and indie music venue in Los Angeles.

“Rockville, CA” will premiere on TheWB.com in 2009 with an initial run of 20 episodes. Each band featured on “Rockville, CA” (the series) will play a set at Rockville (the fictional club in the show), against the backdrop of a weekly episodic scripted drama. In addition to viewing full episodes, TheWB.com community will be able to stream and download exclusive tracks from the show, and watch videos, interviews and other “Rockville, CA” extra content at www.thewb.com when the series launches.

Executive producer and music supervisor Alex Patsavas (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “The O.C.,” “Gossip Girl”) – whose golden touch is responsible for the mainstream media debuts of more than a dozen popular bands, including The Killers (“The O.C.”), Death Cab for Cutie (“The O.C.”) and The Fray (”Grey’s Anatomy”) – personally selected the acts to be featured on the first season of “Rockville, CA.”

“Rockville, CA” stars Andrew West (“Privileged”), Alexandra Chando (“As the World Turns”), Ryan Hansen (“Veronica Mars,” “Las Vegas”) and Mighty Rasta (“Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay,” “My Wife and Kids”).
