Rock Band Network Launching Tomorrow

MTV’s Rock Band Network, an ambitious program aimed at letting “anyone” upload a song to the game’s store, will be launching tomorrow, according to the Wall Street Journal.

In a piece on MTV’s plans for the store, the WSJ piece opens with “MTV Games is hoping to goose sales of its flagging “Rock Band” series with a new service Tuesday that lets average users upload and sell videogame versions of their own music.”

We knew it was launching in “early 2010”, but hadn’t figured on it launching this early, and with such little fanfare. The WSJ report also says that while the service is intended for smaller bands, groups like Creed and Evanescence will have music available on the Network tomorrow. Even though they’re massive acts. Go figure.
