Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



This isn't the first we're hearing about Devo tracks coming to Rock Band, but here's a good confirmation: next week's DLC will include two Devo songs, both re-recorded by the band for the game. "Girl U Want" and "Through Being Cool" will be available for 160 MS Points ($1.99 a piece) next Tuesday on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and Thursday for PlayStation Network. 

But even more exciting, for me, at least, is the announcement that Duran Duran's "Girls on Film" and "Rio" -- both master recordings -- will also be available for download for 160 MS Points ($1.99) a piece. Thank you to Harmonix for continually providing songs that will be a blast to play at parties (possibly while hammered). 

As a bonus (for someone, I guess), The Janitors "Get Your Rock On" will also be downloadable for 80 MS Points ($0.99). I will have to plead ignorance here, as I've never heard of The Janitors, and a Google search keeps coming up with things about cleaning supplies. Apparently it's from the film American Mall which is some MTV musical produced by the same guys behind High School Musical, which means my kid is going to flip out over it.

Any must rocks you guys see here?

@ Gynecologist Cobra
I remember that CD and those music videos.
It was the first CD my younger brother bought back in the day, and I still tease him about it to this day.

Looking back though, it was pretty badass.
Not only had Devo, but Apples in Stereo and even Frank Black.

Some of the nods and references are cool (loved Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld), and the inclusion of local bands, but taking a song from a Disney musical? One that didn't do crap? This is supposed to be Rock Band, not Lowest Common Denominator Band. I fail to see how "The Janitors" could rock.

Argh, it's bad enough that I don't have money for Braid or Castle Crashers because of PAX, but now this? Oh well, something to look forward to adding in a month or so.
