Quitting the band?
I’ve never played Rock Band, or Guitar Hero â€" but I’m deeply interested in the whole phenomenon of music video games. If you know me, you know why. I used to own a domain name â€" ROCKBAND.COM â€" and I had a great site that promoted indie and unsigned rock bands for nearly ten years. Then...
