Apparently Joystiq has some article pertaining to this. I can only see the headline off my RSS feed. The site itself is blocked. Anyone care to repost and/or summarize?

This is actually coming off of the MTV blog.

Not too long ago I visited Harmonix, the company that’s developing “Rock Band” (published by MTV Games).

I poked around, conducted some interviews (including an extended one with Audio Director Eric Brosius) and even asked longtime staffers their thoughts on the recently released “Guitar Hero III” (the first title in the franchise not made by Harmonix).

During my interviews, I also found out some random, little-known facts about the company and the game, like:

The inspiration for the in-depth Band World Tour mode
How they fixed the issue of online lag using patented technology
How Harmonix works with corporate behemoths like MTV and EA
Harmonix’s real “Rock Band” rehearsal space
Future peripherals (possibly keyboards and… a cowbell?)

A keyboard would be cool, just don't know how that would work.

You can actually try the game out at BB. Well at mine anyways. Didn't try it though. There were other people trying it out.
