The Offspring: Rock Prodigy App Launches
We're pleased to announce The Offspring have partnered with the award-winning creators of Rock Prodigy to design The Offspring: Rock Prodigy app, now available on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.  This interactive app plays like a game but uses any real guitar to teach real music skills.  The app acts as a personal music teacher, walking through each song note-for-note as transcribed from The Offspring, including tips directly from Dexter Holland and Noodles.  The application also has multiple skill levels, uses the original master tracks and listens to every note played, providing instant feedback. 

"We have the greatest fans in the world and we're totally stoked for them to get their fingers on the frets and try this out," says Dexter Holland.

Noodles adds, "Finally my kids can learn my tunes. They might actually think I'm cool." 

With over two and half hours of songs and lessons, the app includes "Come Out and Play," "The Kids Aren't Alright," and "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid." Also included are a number of bite-sized 'Micro Lessons' to get fans playing the songs faster than ever. Each lesson covers subjects like punk rock rhythms, power chords, and East Indian scales.  The app even features a leader board to see how you stack up against other fans.

Download your copy of The Offspring: Rock Prodigy now at: http://bit.ly/offspringrp  (available in most countries with an iTunes store)

We also have a special contest tied into the launch of the app.  The winner will receive a signed guitar and iPad.  Check it out here: http://on.fb.me/offspring-wd

Pukkelpop Cancellation
As you may already know, the remainder of the Pukkelpop Festival in Belgium has been cancelled due to yesterday's catastrophic storm and the tragic loss of life.  The Offspring were slated to perform on the main stage this Saturday night, but support and respect the festival's decision.  The band wish all the festival goers well and hope they are taking this time to heal and recover.  They look forward to returning to Belgium soon.
