Rock Reality Show Recap: Whitestarr Are Torn Apart By Their Dancer’s Search for Love on ‘The Rock Life’

Every week The Rock Life follows Los Angeles band Whitestarr as they attempt to make it in the music biz. But who’s following The Rock Life? We are! Here’s our third report: Thirty Minutes of Rockin’ Reality in Four Sentences: VH1 calls episode three of The Rock Life “Looking For Ms. Potato.” Mainly because it’s a catchier title than “Help Get Our Lazy, Shirtless, Unshaven, Snot-Rocketing Dancer Laid.” The band embarks on a “big” 28-date national tour (totally glossing over the fact that unsigned bands generally don’t tour in an enormous bus) and since Whitestarr front-hunk Cisco Adler has Mischa Barton waiting for him back home, he’s stuck on the bench.
