Rock Band Adds More DLC Tracks From Nirvana and Foo Fighters!!

by Nina Pena on October 30th, 2009

One of my first CD’s when I was a kid was Nirvana and my first mosh pit experience was at a Foo Fighters concert. Lets face it I just love Dave Grohl; nothing is more attractive to me then a man who can play any instrument and also sing (or belt out some great rock jams)!

Imagine my excitement this AM when I got this news from MTV and Harmonix Games about more Rockband DLC content for Nirvana and Foo Fighters. If it wasn’t Halloween weekend (also Day light savings) I would be playing Rockband all weekend! Fortunately it doesn’t come out till November 5th and I have next Sunday all day free and you can bet your sweet bippy I will be playing Rockband!

Cambridge, Mass. – Oct. 30, 2009 – Harmonix and MTV Games today announced that a three pack of tracks from Nirvana, a four pack of tracks from Foo Fighters and a single from Joan Jett & The Blackhearts will be added next week to the Rock Band Music Store…To see the full press release click here!

Beatles Rockband Release 9/9/9

by Nina Pena on September 9th, 2009

Today Harmonix and MTV released Beatles Rockband; frankly its about time! I tested out the Beatles Rockband game at E3 (see youtube here) and have been dying for it to be released. I had hoped for a copy before the release date but I am apparently not cool enough…yet (do I sound bitter?).

A true Beatles fan I watched VH1′s classic channel tribute to the Beatles all Labor day; including all their movies and the George Harrison Concert that Eric Clapton arranged. Till this day I start my morning with “Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head…”

So there is a pretty cool demo here but if you want to see us cutegeekers rockin’ it I suggest checking out this link!

I got a PSP; Now I Can Play Rock Band Anywhere I go!

by Nina Pena on August 3rd, 2009

rockband game and psp I finally got a PSP (our friend gave us one) and Rockband Unplugged for it courtesy of the friendly folks at Harmonix and MTV. After E3 playing Rockband Unplugged on PSP I realized it was a must have for me! For several reasons, first I hate flying with a passion and I believe this is a great distraction for anyone like me or those who travel allot and are bored on a plane.

I am the type that needs to have a few glasses of wine and take 2 Dramamine just to get through security, board the plane and prepare for take off. Once my husband put me on the smallest plane (2 propeller plane) known to man in a thunderstorm from Seattle to Utah…I was convinced he was trying to kill me by a plane crash (not to mention ironically my life insurance was up’d). Something to be said when even the flight attendants were white as a ghost and no drink service. ”CRAP,” I thought…I don’t even get a glass of wine before I die!

“Rock Band® Track Pack™ Classic Rock” Available Now Nationwide

by Nina Pena on May 20th, 2009

If its not obvious I love Rockband so check it out fellow rockers, MTV and Harmonix just released the Rockband Track pack Classic Rock nationwide! The new game is only 29.99 and has 20 songs from artists such as The Who, Rush, Boston, Police, Steve Miller Band, George Thorogood and more!

I am always excited about new songs, how many times do you do a mystery set list and then there it is…your heart drops. The same song you have been playing since you started the game and in your mind you think “Oh no, not again…I can’t do it…I can’t play this song…crap I can’t abort the game then I will loose fans!” Then you feel guilt, I use to love this band and if I hear this song again I may jump out my window. Unhappily you play that song while attempting to figure out how remove the song forever…well maybe I am a bit over dramatic…

So bring on more songs for the rockers who need to be constantly stimulated Rockband!

by Nina Pena on May 19th, 2009

So like most rockbanders eventually you need to leave your home.

Today I was thrilled and I mean jumping up and down excited about the new Rockband Unplugged to be released on June 9,2009 for PSP! Yes! A new challenge!
