Video Rock Band DLC For Week of 10-23-2012

Chicago Logo

Next week, Rock Band  fans will be transported to the funky decade of the 70s with a triple set of tracks from legendary American rockers Chicago. While they might not be everyone’s cup of tea, it would be rather hard hard to deny the impact that the band has had over the decades; furthermore, these songs will just be damn fun to play with friends (or complete strangers, if that’s your preference).

A video preview of the upcoming tracks can be viewed below, and the full info on the tracks will be directly underneath!

Look at their career of Billboard chart topping hit singles and albums and you’ll see that Chicago is easily one of the most successful American rock acts of all time. On October 23rd, three of their hit singles come to the Rock Band Music Store!

Written as part of a seven part suite, Chicago’s “Make Me Smile” – from the band’s second studio record, 1970’s Chicago II – was released as a single that topped the Billboard charts. “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day,” off of 1973’s Chicago IV found equal success on the charts, only a few years later. The ballad “If You Leave Me Now,” off of 1976’s Chicago X, rounds out the pack.

As a bonus, Rock Band Blitz players who play any of these tracks will earn double coins for each play!
