But they’re still famous, so whatever

I take every opportunity to watch real musicians playRock Bandthat I can, I’m always interested to see how they’ll do. Especially when it happens to be one of my favorite acts.Extraespecially when they’re playing aRock Bandgame that hasn’t been released yet. So I was very excited to see synthpop darlings, Chvrches, sit down withRock Band 4and play through a few songs.
Turns out they’re not very good at it.
Watching a group that may not be super familiar with rhythm games, but are stillreal musicians, stumble like third graders in a potato sack race when coming up against one of the new free-flow solos gives me pause. If they choke on it, what chance do my boozed up friends have when I trick them into playing with me?
Of course, I don’t mean to throw any shade on Chvrches. So what if they can’t full-combo sightread Buddy Holly? Their cover ofTightropestill gives me chills. I would love to see some of their music inRock Band 4.
You can watch the full video to hear the usual PR talk and awkward banter or skip to 11:25 if you just want to see them play.
