Phish: Blat Boomin’ on Rock Band Soon
The music of Phish has been used in movies and for tv shows but the quartet’s music has never been featured in a video game… until now.
A developer for Harmonix – the makers of the popular Rock Band series of games – has announced that the downloadable content for the week of June 2nd will include a live version of Wilson as part of the Bonnaroo Pack. Other songs included in the Bonnaroo Pack will be Ben Harper and Relentless7’s Shimmer & Shine, Coheed and Cambria’s A Favor House Atlantic and The Running Free, Shooter Jennings’ Steady at the Wheel and TV on the Radio’s Wolf Like Me. Quite a varied selection of tunes.
All tracks are original master recordings and these tracks will be available for purchase as part of the Bonnaroo Pack or as individual tracks for Xbox 360 and PS3 systems. Each track costs $1.99 or you can purchase the entire pack for $9.99. We hoped for a straight-up Phish Pack of Rock Band songs, but this is certainly a start. [via Rock Band Forums, HT - @mdphunk]
