Eighteen tracks from the band's back catalogue heading to MTV/Harmonix's upcoming title as DLC...
Recently pushed into 2008 for Europe, MTV and Harmonix have today confirmed the latest group to sign up to Rock Band's Downloadable Content - Grateful Dead. Picking eighteen tracks from the group's back catalogue stretching back over thirty years, Grateful Dead follows both The Who and Nirvana, two bands that are set to release whole albums for the game.
"Grateful Dead's unique fusion of rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, and jazz challenged traditional musical boundaries and pushed the limits of creativity to produce a signature sound that is undeniably their own," stated Paul DeGooyer, MTV's Senior Vice President of Audio, Home Video and Electronic Games. "With an enormous legion of fans all over the world, Rock Band will give players a chance to interact with the music of these beloved rock pioneers and experience what Grateful Dead did best - jam from the depths of their souls."
"Grateful Dead, with their 30-year career and their timeless music, are the perfect addition to Rock Band," says Mark Pinkus, Rhino's Senior Vice President of Strategic Marketing, Custom Product & Sync Licensing. "It's going to be a blast playing along to songs ranging from the Dead's earliest hit 'Truckin'' to their final hit 'Touch of Grey.' I'm confident that Rock Band will be instrumental in introducing kids to the magical music of Grateful Dead."
Rock Band is due to hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 during the first quarter of 2008.
