The next content update for the Rock Band Music Store features a group who I honestly thought we would have seen appear in the game by now: The Fratellis.

Three songs from the Scottish alt rock band's 2006 debut album Costello Music will be showing up as downloadable content next week, and can be bought individually for $1.99 each (160 Microsoft Points) or together in a pack for $5.49 (440 Microsoft Points).

The songs are "Flathead," "Creepin Up the Back Stairs," and "Henrietta." Curiously enough, "Chelsea Dagger" is not included in the line-up, and I'm beginning to feel like a sad panda because of it.

If you couldn't tell based upon my inclusion of the music video above, I will be purchasing "Flathead" on day one. How about yourselves?

FUCK, FUCKING BRIT POP/ROCK...

Lol im just not a fan of that particular genre (and lets face it, it has been done to death the last few years), so this is not a good week for RB dlc for me. Saves me money though.

Brilliant! The Fratellis make the kind of music that should be a riot to play with a group of friends and plastic instruments.

the video reminded me how good they were, how long before we get these songs on wii? my guess is at least a year or 2 based on the current rate theyre releasing:( wouldnt be a bad week to start releasing them though...

Yesssssss.
I'm also a bit upset by the lack of Chelsea Dagger, but I'll take what they gave me. Flathead!

Joystiq pointed out how they could've gone with Arctic Monkeys or Kaiser Chiefs as well, and I have to agree.

Awesome. Sadly it's only three songs this week, but at least it's three great songs.

Fuck YES! I don't mind the exclusion of Chelsea Dagger so much since I love the other three songs even more! Best week in a long fucking time!
