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!

Optical Technology Developer Sets Sights on Q4 Launch of V-Screen for PSP®

by Nina Pena on July 20th, 2009

While at E3 I had the chance to play with a PSPat the MTV booth. It was really cool b/c they set up pods for each person to play the game; no one told me that this was so no one else can hear you playing the game. So my geeky self goes to one of the pods hell bent on playing Rockband on PSP(I think I have an unhealthy addiction to Rockband, but that’s another topic). I put on Modest Mouse b/c on drumming its easier then say QOTSA or Foo Fighters plus I never played a PSP before…Before you know “Float on” comes on and I start dancing along with the PSP in hand enjoying myself and having a good old time, so I started dancing along even more!

by Nina Pena on June 11th, 2009

Today MTV Games’ Harmonix Music Systems announced a partnership with Warner Bros. Records and Green Day to bring the music of Green Day, exclusively to Rock Band ®. See Press Release Here!

The first songs that you can download are a three-pack of songs of their Album; 21st Century Breakdown on July 7th including: 21 Guns, Know Your Enemy, East Jesus Nowhere. Additional Green Day songs and projects will be announced at a later date.

If it is not obvious I am the Rockbander of the cutegeek.com and I am excited about this new release of Green Day coming to Rockband. I wanted to be a rocker or punk rocker since I was a child of the 80s. Unfortunately I lack the talent to play the real drums (sad face) therefore…do-to-do-dooooo Rockband drums! Everyone saw how I killed it at E3 on the drums right? (not so much on the singing, I use to be able to no idea what happened…opps!)

So MTV and Harmonix are just going crazy on these new releases of Rockband games and everyday I hope when I open my inbox there is a new release of something fun and I get…well…gitty like I was 7 years old again…what will I get? Another Rockband alert…oh boy…oh boy!

This actually comes at the perfect time so thank you MTV/ Harmonix/ Warner Brothers and Green Day! I have a very important birthday coming up that I may repeat for several years to come and nothing makes my heart a flutter more then new Rockband songs! BTW I celebrate my b-day for a month so…July 7th isn’t too far off. THOUGH shout out to my pals at MTV/ Harmonix that if they want me to preview it, I would be the happiest birthday girl! :-) hehe
