Rock Band is a great game, but it s just a little bit better when people get a little loose with some liquid courage. That s why Harmonix’s new effort to bring Rock Band to bars across the country is a fantastic idea.

Bar owners interested in the program are asked to sign up at RockBand.com/BarNights for a package that includes use of Rock Band promotional materials and logos, promotion of the bar s events on the Rock Band site, and, more interestingly, access to the game’s full catalog of over 800 songs.

We’ll keep track of this, but it s a great way to get in front of the consumers who have put the music genre on top and may have forgotten about games like Rock Band in recent months. First round’s on us.
