Rock Band DLC leaks seem to have become a regularity these days — rumors of a Lenny Kravitz four-song track pack hit the ScoreHero forums last week, and now they’ve been confirmed by Harmonix (PR after the jump). But to spice things up, Harmonix has also included two songs from its own bands.
Next week, we’ll be getting “Are You Gonna Go My Way,” “Freedom Train,” “Let Love Rule,” and “Cab Driver,” all from the half-Jewish, half-black singer-songwriter. The two Harmonix tracks are “Megasus” by … Megasus, and “Entangled” by Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives (you may remember them from their song “I Get By,” which was on the original Rock Band disc).
The Lenny Kravitz four-pack will be available for $6.99 (560 MS Points), which is a discount over even the usual three-pack price — here, you’re paying just under $1.75 per song, whereas with a three-pack, you pay $1.83 for each song. (Of course, you can also get the songs individually for $1.99, or 160 MS Points, each). The two Harmonix tracks will be sold at the cheapo price of $0.99 (80 MS Points) each.
As usual, look for the songs to hit Xbox Live first (Tuesday, January 13), and the PlayStation Network two days later (Thursday, January 15). I’ll definitely be picking up “Are You Gonna Go My Way” at the very least — I love that Hendrix-like guitar riff — what about you?
MTV AND HARMONIX DELIVER THE AWARD WINNING ROCK SOUND OF SINGER-SONGWRITER LENNY KRAVITZ TO ROCK BAND® FANS
HARMONIX BANDS MEGASUS AND HONEST BOB AND THE FACTORY-TO-DEALER INCENTIVES ADDED TO THE ROCK BAND MUSIC STORE
Cambridge, Mass. – January 9, 2009 – Harmonix and MTV Games announced today that the inimitable singer-songwriter and producer Lenny Kravitz will bring four of his greatest hits to the Rock® Band Music Store of downloadable content. The multi-talented Kravitz has sold more than 30 million albums and won four consecutive Grammy awards for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance 1999-2002, setting a record for most wins in a single category. Kravitz’ classic rock star style and one-of-a-kind, smooth sound that blends the best of soul, rock and funk have left many to classify him as one of the most regarded rock musicians of his time.
The Rock Band “Lenny Kravitz Pack 01” includes three tracks from his 1989 album Let Love Rule including the title track as well as “Freedom Train” and “Mr. Cab Driver.” The pack also includes the title track from his 1993 album Are You Gonna Go My Way, which has been deemed one of Kravitz’ most successful singles.
This week’s addition to the Rock Band Music Store also includes two singles from Harmonix bands including heavy metal band Megasus and the lyrical stylings of Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives. Megasus makes its first Rock Band appearance with the single, “Megasus,” and Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives delivers its second track to the Rock Band music library with its song “Entangled”. The band’s hit “I Get By” was featured on the original Rock Band soundtrack.
