Wolves And Zombies Hit Rock Band Music Store

Rob Zombie and Wolfmother are among the artists coming to the Rock Band Music Store next week.

Everything's getting a bit spooky for Halloween, it seems, which explains Rob Zombie and somewhat explains the Wolfmother shoe-horning, since wolves are big and scary.

It doesn't really explain Liz Phair or Morningwood, though, as those are the other two artists. I mean, I find Liz Phair scary, but I think I'm probably the only one.

Anyway! The Wii, 360, and PS3 Rock Band Music Stores will be getting the following tracks next week, on 27 October for 360 and Wii, and 29 October on PS3:

• Rob Zombie - Burn
• Rob Zombie - Dragula
• Rob Zombie - Superbeast
• Wolfmother - New Moon Rising
• Wolfmother - Pilgrim
• Wolfmother - Sundial
• Wolfmother - White Unicorn
• Wolfmother - Woman
• Liz Phair - Rock Me
• Morningwood - Best of Me *
• Morningwood - Sugarbaby *

All tracks are available singly, and the Rob Zombie and Wolfmother tracks are available in packs on 360 and PS3. They're titled "Rob Zombie Pack 01" and "Wolfmother Pack 01", specifically, and I reckon you can work out for yourself which is which.

The Rob Zombie pack will Rob you of £2.49 GBP / 440 Microsoft Points, while the Wolfmother pack contains a couple more songs and as such is a little more expensive at £5.25 GBP / 680 Microsoft Points. Singly, the tracks will cost £0.99 GBP / 160 Microsoft Points / 200 Wii Points, barring the asterisked songs (the Morningwood ones) which are £0.59 GBP / 80 Microsoft Points / 100 Wii Points each.

And, as ever, Rock Band Unplugged fans haven't been forgotten. You've got a couple of interesting songs this week, particular during the drum and guitar segments, I would imagine.

• Sonic Youth - Kool Thing
• Steely Dan - My Old School

These'll cost £0.99 GBP and will go live along with the PS3 Rock Band Music Store update on 29 October.
