DLC
Hits Rock Band for Wii

Harmonix and MTV Games announced
today the addition of six new tracks to the Rock Band Music Store catalog of
downloadable content for Wii. The line up includes “March of the Pigs” and “The
Collector” from industrial rockers Nine Inch Nails, “I Fought the Law” from
English punk rock band the Clash and “Rockaway Beach” from the infamous punk
rock band Ramones. The offering also features two exclusive 2008 Rock Band
re-recordings of “Margaritaville” and “Volcano” from singer-songwriter Jimmy
Buffett.

All six tracks are part of the Rock
Band Music Store catalog of downloadable content already released to owners of
Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3. Wii fans can expect a rollout of the previously
released downloadable content every week until the entire back catalogue of more

releases for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 system will also be available for Rock
Band 2 Wii owners starting in February.
