With the impending announcement of a open beta Rock Band Network announcement today, and a sooner rather than later full go-live of the Rock Band Network Music Store, it looks like some of the artists and authors currently making tracks for the RBN are drumming up excitement. According to a post over at Kotaku, it appears that RBN author WaveGroup, who was actively involved in some of the original Guitar Hero games, announced that they will be contributing tracks by the following artists below!

Will Littlejohn, President/CEO of WaveGroup commented, “We’re honored to be working with such amazing musicians, and bringing their music to RBN. Our job is to make the music look and feel authentic in the Rock Band environment. As musicians ourselves, we go to great lengths to make the experience of playing these songs fun and engaging.”

Reverend Horton Heat

Stroke 9 (got my fingers crossed for “Kick Some Ass” and “Little Black Backpack”)
