The Presidents of the United States of America Coming to Rock Band on November 4th
File this under How the hell did I miss this? The most under appreciated band of the early nineties (and today) The Presidents (PUSA for those in the know) are finally coming to Rock Band on November 4th. The band famous for Peaches (probably their worst song), will be bringing Ladybug, Feather Pluckn and Dune [...]
Devo Sells Out to the Man
In a shocking move, the original Radiohead (*), Devo, along with fellow 80′s supergroup Duran Duran and The Janitors are joining the illustrious ranks of bands included in Rock Band. I have to say I really didn’t see this one coming and if you’re going to include Devo, where the hell is Whip It? And [...]

The Police at Live Earth: Rapper Butchers Message in a Bottle

Rock History Lesson: The Police
They just don’t make rock bands like they used to. I don’t intend this as an insult, there are a great many rock bands today that I really respect and enjoy listening to, but they rarely capture the rawness of a band like the Police, just three guys with instruments, no computers, no digital vocal [...]
