"The web has already changed the way an entire generation of music fans find and experience new music," said Schwartz. "Now that original scripted television on the web is becoming more and more popular on sites like TheWB.com, 'Rockville' is our shot at seamlessly combining the power and passion of music with the drama of television."

"Fictional or not, we are going to make 'Rockville' the hottest indie music venue on the web," said Patsavas.
