As promised, Halfbrick and Six Foot Kid are going to make your dreams of playing in a band come true later this evening.

Put that microphone down - that wasn't an invitation for you to start singing.

I was talking about Band Stars, which will be available on App Stores around the world tonight.

Your primary job in this band-management game is to point the finger, so to speak.

So, you have to match up a band member with the right instrument; ensure that the lyrics are appropriate for the song genre; and pray that your professional mixer can work miracles.

Should that miracle ensue and your band manages to actually sound decent on record, you'll soon pick up a following and be raking in the cash.

Band Stars is a free-to-play game, by the way. Look out for it on the App Store once the clock strikes 12 tonight.
