Bands fuel Rock Band Network sales by hosting contests by examiner.com
With hundreds of tracks available, including such legendary artists as Steve Vai, in the Rock Band Network store, how is it possible for some of the lesser known artists hoping to get their music out there to avoid getting lost in the noise? Sure, some bands might get lucky by having their tracks chosen by Harmonix and put in the special "Harmonix Picks" section, but chances are slim at getting in there. Aside from being put in the "Top Rated" sections, the only other way to get noticed really is to have a strong following of fans that happen to like Rock Band. A couple of bands, however, may have found a way to tilt the odds in their favor. By holding contests surrounding their songs that are available for purchase on Rock Band Network, bands are driving sales upwards. World Minus One, a female-fronted band that possesses a straightforward rock sound with great core instrumentalism, recently announced that anyone that could beat the score posted by their very own guitarist on YouTube. Any winners will be given a link that allows them to download a few free songs from the band's EP.

'WORLD MINUS ONE' DEBUTS TRACK ON ROCK BAND NETWORK by World Minus One
Milwaukee-based band is one of the first unsigned acts to have their music released in new video game distribution network MILWAUKEE, WI, March 10, 2009 — The next time World Minus One's song "Still Alive" is performed, it could be by you--in your living room. The Milwaukee-based band is one of the first to appear on Rock Band Network (RBN), a new distribution channel by videogame pioneer Harmonix (Guitar Hero, Rock Band), and Microsoft. RBN – whose debut is being showcased this weekend at the world-renowned SXSW music festival in Austin,TX - is a platform for unsigned and label artists alike to make their music available for download worldwide via the Xbox Live Marketplace as a playable track in Harmonix's 'Rock Band 2'. For independent artists like World Minus One, RBN offers a new way to get their music heard around the world. "The RBN is a complete value to bands and music fans," said Jaek Pachniak, guitarist for World Minus One. "Not only do you get to hear new music, but you get to experience interactions with those songs as well, and all for the same price you'd spend to buy a track online." Bands approved for RBN can charge end-users $1 to $3 per track, of which they receive a 30% payback on download sales. All songs can be sampled for free prior to purchase. “World Minus One has decided to offer its track for the lowest price point”, said Pachniak. "For an indie band like us, we really looked at this opportunity as a way to find new fans first and foremost, so making money isn’t the end goal here". Some of the signed acts in the launch on RBN include Steve Vai, Lacuna Coil, and Flight of the Conchords. Pachniak predicts the network will only pick up steam as other talent joins the fray. "The allure of RBN is that the potential is there for any given song. There's an expansive online community associated with this game, so word-of mouth gets around if you have a good tune. I think RBN will give great exposure to a lot of talented musicians that would otherwise be ignored by traditional recording industry methods. We’re glad to be a part of it.”
