By now, I’m sure anyone who has played with or owned a gaming console has heard of either Rock Band or Guitar Hero.  If you’ve been to Walmart, its kinda hard to miss all the guitar controllers for those games as you walk past the electronics section.  Rock Band is now planning an expansion that will make indie musicians, like myself, much more accessible.  The Rock Band Network will allow bands to create their own Rock Band tracks from the studio recordings, then upload them for any Rock Band player to download.  Fellow network members can try out the tracks in advance and rate them.  I’m really excited by this.  These games are another way to reach people who don’t go to concerts, they don’t buy the latest CD’s, they just know their video games and TV shows.  Get more info at: http://creators.rockband.com/ and you can check out the video below to get a good idea about what’s coming:
