Since music consumers these days spend more time fingering their iPhones than their wallets at the merch table at actual live shows, it's pretty dang smart for a touring regional band like our own Antennas Up to get its music on the all-powerful gadget of the day.
And as of last week, iPhone and iPod touch users who download the megapopular Tap Tap Revenge 3 game from the iTunes App Store will be able to ply their digits to not one but three Antennas songs: "Don't Wait Up," "On the Line" and "PSA."
The Kansas City band will be competing against the likes of Fall Out Boy, Smashing Pumpkins and the Foo Fighters (to name a few) for play, but given that fewer than 200 tracks are available on the game as of now -- plus the fact that hundreds of thousands of users are expected to download the app -- the numbers are definitely favoring Antennas Up right now.
Congrats, boys! For those not familiar with the Guitar Hero-like game, here's a the official promo-video-like thing.

@Jason Harper: Yeah, I went back and read that post and realized it made absolutely no sense. Too many late nights in the studio.
To clarify:
Good things: Of all the tracks on TTR3, most of them are paid, but ours are 100% free to d/l, which we hope brings more people to play our songs.
Bad things: I am very bad at playing TTR3. I can't even crack the top 100 or even top 1000 of the high scores on our own songs!
Hm. Really, @smh? I thought it was a beta version that looked pretty much the same as TTR3, but I may indeed have been asleep when I embedded that video. I replaced it with the official promo thing from Tapulous. Sorry for any confusion.
@AU_Kyle: Huh?
Thanks for the writeup, Pitch friends.
Nice things: We are free to download our tunes.
Bad things: I am not even in the top 100 for songs I wrote.

A note: I am pretty sure this person is being sarcastic. His video has nothing to do with Tap Tap Revenge 3.
I think someone at The Pitch was asleep at the switch when they embedded this video.
Good work! Let's make fun of the Star some more. /s
