Next week's Rock Band DLC gets a little bit ironic, don't you think?
Harmonix announced the Rock Band downloadable content for October 6 today and Alanis Morrisette makes her downloadable debut while The Raconteurs, Electric Six, and The Flobots makes their game debuts.
Alanis Morrisette brings two songs to the table, including "Ironic," as she makes her first rhythm game appearance after "You Oughta Know" appeared in the disc version of Rock Band 2.
The Raconteurs, who have been nominated and won some Grammy Awards, feature a three-song pack including "Steady, As She Goes," which was on Guitar Hero 5.
Electric Six make their long-awaited rhythm game debut with "Gay Bar" and two other songs.
The Flobots round out the week with "Handlebars" from their 2007 major-label debut.
