The community team is hitting the road armed with HD cameras to share their findings and fun. Check here often to see behind the scenes action and interviews with all sorts of Rock Band related people and places.

HMXaleX and HMXJohnD continue on to sunny Anaheim, California, where they're met by HMXVeng (Eric) and fellow HMXers Cheryl, Pope, Pardo, Julie and Jason Kendall. While there, they rock a setup at the Fender and Ludwig booths. During the show they check out very pretty guitars from HMX's wondrous in-game guitar and amp partner, learn about a new contest Fender is putting on, and walk around the convention center floor staring at amazing instruments none of them can afford.

Fender announces the Road Worn Competition, a nationwide band competition engaging musicians, and the dealers who support them, to submit their music for a chance to win a prize package worth more than $50,000.

From Jan. 15 through May 25, bands across the United States are invited to submit their music at www.getroadworn.com for a chance to win a road-ready prize package featuring a fully-customized Fender Road Worn 2008 Toyota Tundra with matching trailer (customized by Studio Number One and Obey Giant) full of Fender Road Worn series instruments, Fender electric guitar and bass amplification, a Gretsch® drumset, and a fuel allowance of $1,500.
