MTV offers students a chance to be on TRL

From arts reporter Morgan Davis:

The gods of rock are calling, and they want you.

Rock Band 2007 Tour is on GW’s campus this week as part of a nation-wide tour to promote Rock Band, a video game due for release in North America on Nov. 23. The tour offers people a chance to try the game before its release date as well as vie for a spot on MTV’s TRL.

Rock-star-wannabees and bands who know they are the next big thing are encouraged to participate in a “Rock Off” audition. Two bands from across the country will be selected to perform in a live Battle of the Bands, with the winning group opening at the Rock Band launch concert this holiday season.

Rock Band comes from the collaboration of MTV Games (a division of the MTV network), Harmonix (the creators of Guitar Hero) and Electronic Arts (video and computer game creators), and seeks to offer music enthusiasts and gamers alike the chance to play in a virtual band. Up to four players can play three different instrument peripherals, a guitar, bass guitar, drum and microphone, while music cross the screen.

Rock Band will be outside Kogan Plaza on Wednesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
