[Official announcement]

It’s been a few days since the last RBN updated, due to “pipeline issues,” per Harmonix.  There are a few more that have been approved that have not yet been released, so expect another handful in tomorrow’s post.

• Band of Horses – The Funeral (160 MSP)
• Death Angel – Dethroned (160 MSP)
• Emarosa – Heads or Tails? Real or Not (160 MSP)
• Finger Eleven – Paralyzer (160 MSP)
• Forever From Now – People Like You (80 MSP)
• The Main Drag – Even Seconds (80 MSP)
• The Main Drag – Montana (80 MSP)
• The Main Drag – Swine Houses (80 MSP)
• Scratching The Itch – End Of This (80 MSP)
• Your Horrible Smile – Shot at the Title (80 MSP)

While none of these songs are live yet in the Rock Band 2 RBN store, nor listed in Rock Band’s official list of RBN tracks, these are the songs you should expect to see coming today, or possibly tomorrow. Harmonix has the day off today (Patriot’s Day in Massachusetts today?), so they may officially go live tomorrow.  You can purchase them through the links for now if you really need to, but until these are more officially unveiled, you may want to hold off.

If you’ve played Rock Band (and if you are at this site, I have a feeling you have), you are probably familiar with the fact that a number of Harmonix employees have bands that are featured in the game. The Main Drag features Harmonix employees Adam Arrigo, Matt Boch, Jon Carter, and John Drake. Rounded out by Dan Cardinal, the band released a video for their song from Rock Band 2, “A Jagged Gorgeous Winter.” It features a very cool Calvin and Hobbes-inspired theme!

To coincide with the release of the video, The Main Drag is also going on tour starting next week!  Here are the tour dates:

• June 20th – Boston, MA (Great Scott)
• June 22nd – Chicago, IL (Schubas)
• June 23rd – Minneapolis, MN (Fine Line Music Cafe)
• June 24th – Winnipeg, MB (The Lo Pub)
• June 26th – Lethbrige, AB (Henotic Lounge)
• June 27th – Calgary, AB (SLED ISLAND FESTIVAL – Lord Nelson Bar)
• June 29th – Milwaukee, WI (Dino’s)
• July 1st – Philadelphia, PA (The M-Room)
• July 3rd – Brooklyn, NY (TBA)
