Rock Band 2 Wii Music Store
Update

A little bit Country and a little
bit Rock n’ Roll added to the Wii Rock Band Band Music Store

Harmonix and MTV Games announced
today 12 new tracks coming this week to the Rock Band Music Store catalogue of
downloadable content for Wii, including six tracks from superstar Toby Keith.
This week’s new music lineup also includes songs from indie stars The Shins,
American hard rockers Black Tide, Welsh metalcore outfit Bullet for My Valentine
and Sweedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen.

Since his debut on the country music
scene in 1993, Toby Keith has continued to be one of the most successful stars
within his genre, and six of his most popular singles will be released for
download in the Wii Rock Band Music Store. The six tracks are “Should’ve Been A
Cowboy” from Keith’s 1993 self-titled album, the title track “How Do You Like Me
Now” from Keith’s 1999 album, “Beer For My Horses” and “Who’s Your Daddy”
featured on Unleashed (2002), “I Love This Bar” from Shock n’ Y’all (2003) and
the title track “She’s a Hottie” from HIS 2008 platinum album 35 Biggest Hits.

This week’s content update to the
Wii Rock Band Music Store also includes three tracks from Sweedish guitar
virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen – “Red Devil,” “Damnation Game” and “Caprici di
Diablo,” all from his 2008 album Perpetual Flame.

In addition, indie rockers The Shins
will be release their hit “New Slang” to Wii Rock Band fans. The track, which
put The Shins on the map, is from their first album Oh, Inverted World (2001).
Black Tide’s “Warriors of Time” and Bullet for My Valentine’s “Waking the Demon”
round out this week’s music content update.

All tracks come from the back
catalogue of Rock Band music already released to owners of Xbox 360 and
PLAYSTATION 3 system. Wii fans can expect a rollout of previously released
downloadable Rock Band content until the entire back catalogue of more than 630
songs is available.
