MTV and Harmonix have added more tracks to Rock Band, lead by the British pop rock band with funny haircuts, Duran Duran. Sorry, "a" British pop rock band with funny haircuts.

Duran Duran's "Rio" and "Girls on Film" get our star bidding, and are joined by "Girl U Want" by bonkers band Devo. Each of those tracks costs 160 Microsoft Points (GBP 1.36 / EUR 1.92).

Modern punk rockers The Janitors add "Get Your Rock On" to that list, but at half the asking price of their neighbours: 80 Points (GBP 0.68 / EUR 0.96).

Rock Band is still only available on Xbox 360 in Europe, with PS3, Wii and PS2 versions to launch later this year.

Meanwhile, Rock Band 2 is due out across the US in September as a timed Xbox 360 exclusive, and is being shown at the Leipzig Games Convention this week.
