Seether, a perennial gold-selling artist, currently has two top ten hits active; Flyleaf is following up on their eponymous debut by rocking the radio waves, too.

“Sponsoring the Seether and Flyleaf tour is another way for us to give Rock Band fans the opportunity to connect with the bands they love and provide a stage for them to live out their rock fantasies,” said Paul DeGooyer, SVP DVD, Gaming and Audio, MTV. “By supporting this tour, it allows us to expose great young talent like Flyleaf, who are a true Rock Band success story. The inclusion of their single “I’m So Sick” in Rock Band has helped propel them from gold to platinum selling artists.”

Beginning today, fans who attend their tour will be given the chance to play against the members of the bands in Rock Band. Local competitions will be held at each tour location where several lucky contest winners will be given the chance to win copies of Rock Band, create a MTV2 video playlist as well as co-host “Saturday Rock the Deuce” on MTV2 with Seether and Flyleaf. Tour dates can be found on the game’s website.
