Celebrate Australia Day In Style With GH:WT DLC!
Ever since Rock Band first came out, I've been hoping and praying for some good old home grown Aussie content to rock out to (well technically they have, if you count AC-DC but still...). I mean sure, we may be the ass end of the world, but we have pumped out some great musical acts (including the ultimate gay icon: Kylie!) and until now, my pleas have gone unheard. But thankfully Activision have come to the rescue and put some shrimps on the barbie with some Aussie classics for Guitar Hero: World Tour to celebrate the birth of our great nation!:
Featured in the downloadable content is Silverchair's 1995 hit "Tomorrow", which found early success as one of their first songs when it won a local music competition run by Australian television network SBS. Rounding out the Track Pack is the GRAMMY Award winning Wolfmother with "Dimension" and The Vines with their hit "Outtathaway!"The Australian Track Pack and will be available on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 440 Microsoft Points (or 160 points per single) on 22nd January. Following that it will be live on 5th February for the PLAYSTATION®Store for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system for $9.95 (or $3.45 per single) and Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection for Wii™ for 160 Wii Points per single.
While I have an intense hatred for anything Wolfmother (you know what you did), "Outtathaway" and "Tomorrow" totally make up for that one piece of suck. And hopefully this will inspire Harmonix and Activision to release more Australian tracks as DLC for their games. Now gimme some Grates!
