by: Dan - posted: 8/16/2008 2:06:00 PM

Next week's Rock Band DLC will have a decidedly 80's flair to them. According to the official Rock Band Forums, we will get five tracks from 80's bands including two each from Devo and Duran Duran ('Rio' and 'Girls on Film') at 160 points a piece.  In addition, an 80 point track from The Janitors will be available. All are Masters and will be available on Xbox Live Marketplace on Tuesday and PSN on Thursday. Unfortunately for Randy, Devo's 'Whip It' is missing for now...

Greetings rock folk,

August 19th DLC is ready to be announced! This week we're hopping into the wayback machine and setting the dial for the early '80s. We've got a pair of tracks each from two of new wave's most influential and altogether awesome bands in Duran Duran and Devo! And as a special aside, the Devo tracks are new recordings from the band, made special for Rock Band! Each track goes for 160 MSP ($1.99).

Also this week we present a track from the Janitors, "Get Your Rock On," which is featured on the American Mall soundtrack. That song will go for 80 MSP ($0.99).

You'll be able to snag all of these tracks on Xbox Live Marketplace on Tuesday, and the PlayStation Network Store on Thursday.

TRACKS:

Devo - "Girl U Want" (new original recording) - 160 MSP - $1.99

Devo - "Through Being Cool" (new original recording) - 160 MSP - $1.99
