Adding to previously announced music industry superstars Eric
Clapton, Dave Matthews Band and Kid Rock, Seven45 Studios reveals the
entire track list for Power Gig: Rise of the SixString
today. The incredibly diverse list of 70 tracks boasts songs from across
multiple rock genres including alternative, classic, indie, metal and
punk, with more than 80% of the tracks making their band game debuts
with this game. Each artist has provided original master recordings of
their hit songs for Power Gig: Rise of the SixString, the first
band videogame for which the guitar controller is a functioning
six-string electric guitar. Power Gig: Rise of the SixString will
be available for the PlayStation3 computer entertainment system and
Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system October 2010.
“We wanted our song list to be diverse and appealing to gamers and
families of all ages, represented with a great mix of both musical icons
and up-and-coming artists”
Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews Band and Kid Rock have each entered into
exclusive agreements with Seven45 Studios to provide songs for Power
Gig: Rise of the SixString. These deals mark the first time
ever that songs from each of the three artists will appear as part of a
music videogame. In addition to the previously announced inclusion of
Eric Claptons Layla, Seven45 has also secured the Clapton hits Lay
Down Sally and Let it Rain. Dave Matthews Band is represented by
Tripping Billies, Why I Am, and Funny the Way It Is. Kid Rock
contributes Rock N Roll Jesus and Son of Detroit to go along with
chart-topper All Summer Long. Additional songs were secured by
multi-platinum artists John Mayer, No Doubt, Smashing Pumpkins, Janes
Addiction, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine, and many
others. In addition to the songs announced today, Seven45 Studios plans
to continue building Power Gigs track list with continued
downloadable content (DLC) after the games release.
We wanted our song list to be diverse and appealing to gamers and
families of all ages, represented with a great mix of both musical icons
and up-and-coming artists, said Seven45 Studios Chairman and CEO
Bernard Chiu. Many of these songs have been massive hits and are
familiar to fans of rock music, which reflects the pick-up-and-play
nature of Power Gig: Rise of the SixString.

Power Gig: Rise of the SixString will be the true evolution of
the band videogame experience when it arrives this fall with a genuine
six string guitar as wireless controller. The guitar features Seven45s
proprietary technology that can distinguish and recognize gamers input
all along the guitar, making the guitars as easy to pick up and play as
any other band game button controllers. The unique dual-functionality
of the SixString allows for use in-game as well as with any standard
guitar amplifier. In addition to traditional beat-matching that will
be familiar to fans of the band game genre, Power Gig also
introduces the option to switch on chording, which presents the added
challenge of playing the game using chords that require specific finger
placement on the neck. As players progress through the game, becoming
more comfortable with a genuine guitar and challenging themselves to
play real power chords, they will find the byproduct of playing the game
is coming away from it with real-life guitar skills.
