Tribe (band)
Tribe was an American alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts, United States, which was active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They released three albums including two on Slash Records/Warner Bros. Records. They were finalists in the 1988 WBCN Rock 'n' Roll Rumble. However, their popularity in Boston did not translate their local appeal into national fame and they disbanded in 1994. Greg LoPiccolo later stated that "When Warner Bros didn’t pick up our option for the third album; that was kind of a momentum-killer." Terri Barous, now Brosius, and Eric Brosius and Greg LoPiccolo later joined video game developer Looking Glass Studios and did sound/voice/music work on various games. They would later become critical members of ''Guitar Hero'' developer Harmonix. "Outside", a song from ''Here at the Home'', was featured in the 2007 music video game ''Rock Band''.

Sleeper (Tribe Album)
''Sleeper'' is the third and final studio album by the Boston alternative band Tribe, released in 1993. The album was recorded and mixed at Blue Jay Recording Studio in Carlisle, Massachusetts, from December 1992 to January 1993. The album yielded two singles, "Supercollider" and "Red Rover," the latter of which also yielded the band's second (and last) music video. The band performed "Supercollider" on ''Late Night with Conan O'Brien'' in January 1994, marking the band's only ever national television appearance. Critical reception ''The Boston Globe'' deemed the album "an uneven effort, hampered by an often poor sound mix in which Janet LaValley's ... vocals are mixed too low, muting her power and rendering many lyrics inaudible." Track listing Personnel * Janet LaValley: vocals, rhythm guitar * Terri Brosius: keyboard, backing vocals (lead vocals on "Mr. Lieber") * Eric Brosius Eric Brosius is a musician and video game developer, and a former employee of Looking Glass ...

Guitar Hero (video Game)
''Guitar Hero'' is a 2005 rhythm game developed by Harmonix and published by RedOctane for the PlayStation 2. It is the first installment in the ''Guitar Hero'' series. ''Guitar Hero'' was released in November 2005 in North America, April 2006 in Europe and June 2006 in Australia. The game's development was a result of collaboration between RedOctane and Harmonix to bring a ''Guitar Freaks''-like game to United States. The game features a guitar-shaped controller (resembling a miniature Gibson SG) that the player uses to simulate playing rock music. The gameplay is similar to ''GuitarFreaks'', in that the player presses buttons on the guitar controller in time with musical notes that scroll on the game screen. The game features covers of 30 popular rock songs spanning five decades of rock, from the 1960s up through 2005, in addition to bonus tracks. ''Guitar Hero'' became a surprise hit, earning critical acclaim and winning many awards from major video game publications, and i ...

Music Video Game
A music video game, also commonly known as a music game, is a video game where the gameplay is meaningfully and often almost entirely oriented around the player's interactions with a musical score or individual songs. Music video games may take a variety of forms and are often grouped with puzzle games due to their common use of "rhythmically generated puzzles". Music video games are distinct from purely audio games (e.g. the 1997 Sega Saturn release '' Real Sound: Kaze no Regret'') in that they feature a visual feedback, to lead the player through the game's soundtrack, although eidetic music games can fall under both categories. Overview Music video games are games where there is typically some type of interactivity of the gameplay with the game's music. This may be where the music is generated in response to the player's actions, or where the player reacts to the beats and notes of the music. As the genre has gained popularity and expanded, music video games have demonstrated ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
