Lady Gaga is signing on with Rock Band, a somewhat atypical pairing given the lack of a traditional rock band set up in GG’s music. Rock Band designers MTV Games and Harmonix will have to stretch the instrumentation a bit. Gaga herself is just the thin edge of the wedge – the Gaga song menu also includes a cover of ‘Poker Face’ by South Park’s Eric Cartman.
The songs will be available for download next week across Xbox, PS3, and Wii systems. “Lady Gaga Pack 01″ will include “Bad Romance,” “Just Dance,” “Monster,” and “Poker Face,” from the multi-platinum album, The Fame.
Also, MTV and Harmonix are expanding the Rock Band content channels – recently launched is the Rock Band Network Music Store, open to any aspiring band.
