Exclusive: Devo Coming To 'Rock Band'

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Friday, May 23, 2008 12:15 PM

Rock 'n roll legend and Devo founder Mark Mothersbaugh stopped by X-Play the other day and dropped the word that three Devo tracks are coming to Rock Band, including anti-anthem "Through Being Cool!"

Mothersbaugh said they three songs were coming to the game, "And we re-recorded one."

"They wanted 'Through Being Cool' for some reason, which is kind of odd because its all synth solos," Mothersbaugh said. "So we re-recorded it. My brother Bob, who's our guitar player, played all my synth solos, synth leads, as guitar leads, so it would relate to the game better, and then we recorded one of those little crazy endings that they put on it."

No word yet on what other Devo tracks are coming or when they will be available, but as soon as we hear, we'll whip that info out to ya.

Watch X-Play tonight at 8PM ET for the full interview with this new wave icon, where he'll also discuss his work doing the music for Boom Blox.

I'm sure there are much better 80's songs Harmonix could be spending their time on. I mean I've never once seen a "We need Devo" thread on any message board.

Ok, Rockband is starting to get pathetic. If they keep getting these songs no one cares about we'll all jump ship to Guitar Hero World Tour.
