Rock Band allows players to perform in a virtual band by providing up to four players with the ability to play three different peripherals modeled after music instruments (a guitar peripheral for lead guitar and bass guitar gameplay, a drum peripheral, and a microphone). These peripherals are used to simulate the playing of rock music by hitting scrolling notes on-screen. In addition to the songs included on the game disc, hundreds of downloadable songs are being released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions
Our Rock Band Game, the newest service offered by
TAZ Entertainment is by far the hippest and most affordable way to introduce a live band (sort of) into your establishment. The difference is that your customers get to create their own band, and play what they want to play. Using what we've learned from our years of experience in karaoke and tune trivia, we've developed a show that has entertainment value for spectators, and has absolutely no down time. The music just keeps coming at you as if you were at a live concert, complete with lights, sound, and personality. Think of it as 'karaoke on steroids'. Now your customers get to know the joy of starting their own band.
