Eventually practice and the games 15+ song list will lead players and their bands out of the neighborhood garage and on to the stages of local cafes and clubs. But with a little more effort this could also possibly earn you a spot on bills performing in front of international audiences at world-famous in-game venues.

My 9 y/o drummer/guitar playing daughter loves this game. There are lots of challenges and many different venues to play in and "earn" more and more fans and cool gear and clothing for your avatar, and instruments to build your band.
The songs are good, too, not dorky or annoying.

My daughter was given this game, she loves it very much because it taps her creative side. It is clean, fun for a younger child. I am glad that I was able to get it at a great price and delivery was great too.
