MTV Games, Rock Band and MTV2 are teaming up to sponsor a Rock Band tour featuring alt-rock bands Seether (right) and Flyleaf.

Kicking off in Denver, CO April 8 and rockin’ through May 21, fans that attend the Seether and Flyleaf tour will be given the chance to play against the band members on Rock Band. Local competitions will be held at each tour location where several contest winners will be given the chance to receive copies of the game, create a hot MTV2 video playlist as well as co-host Saturday Rock the Deuce on MTV2 with the bands. 

In addition, exclusive video clips from the tour will be available on www.mtv2.com and a tour diary chronicling Seether and Flyleaf’s interactions with fans will air on MTV2 as they host the All That Rocks block on Saturdays at 6PM for 8 weeks premiering on April 5 through May 24 giving viewers weekly updates and footage from the road.

That’s all great news…and I don’t wanna seem unhip…but, er…who the hell is Flyleaf?
