Pac Man Fever's Gary Garcia passes away
You may have wondered why we gave such a hoot about the Pac-Man Fever album coming to Rock Band. It's a treasure of our childhood, one of those timeless albums we rocked out to many a night, and perhaps the duo's best-known album. Well, we're sad to report that Gary Garcia, half of Buckner and Garcia, the duo responsible for the album and many others, has passed away. News broke via the duo's website, where Jerry Buckner wrote a lengthy eulogy honoring his friend and musical partner. The two had apparently known each other for over 50 years. Our sympathies go out to family and friends affected by this loss.
Pac-Man Fever driving Rock Band Network crazy in 2011
Next year, you'll finally be able to live out your childhood dream of being Buckner and/or Garcia, singing your heart out about arcade games with which you're casually acquainted. The 1982 novelty album Pac-Man Fever is coming to Rock Band. According to IGN, the full Pac-Man Fever album will be available as Rock Band Network DLC for the Xbox 360 version of Rock Band 3 in early 2011 and will of course include such essentials as "Pac-Man Fever," "Do the Donkey Kong" and even "Froggy's Lament." Aren't you thrilled about the chance to sing these lyrics, like "Jump over all the barrels and let out a little scream / Duck underneath the pie, 'cause it's a coconut cream," out loud? With people around?
