Pixies to Rock Out in Rock Band (Also Hole); Updated: Garbage, Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Harmonix Music System's unstoppable juggernaut Rock Band grows ever more irresistable as legendary group Pixies joins the lineup along with Hole, Garbage, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Rock!
It is not clear whether the tracks will be included on the retail game disc or planned to be made available for purchase and download post-release.
When contacted by Shacknews, industry analysts estimated that the inclusion of a track from Doolittle boosts the awesomeness of Harmonix's anticipated title by several hundred percent. Please, gentle readers, pray for the availability of the full album.
Update: In a corresponding preview piece, it was revealed that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs track "Maps" and the Garbage track "I Think I'm Paranoid" will also be included in the game. All four tracks will ship with the game.
