The artists who rocked out at this year's Penny Arcade Expo will also be performing right in your living room!

Okay, not literally, but Harmonix and MTV Games have announced that tracks from three of the PAX 2008 bands will be released as downloadable tracks for Rock Band (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3).

The tracks, which will become available on the Xbox Live Marketplace today and on the PlayStation Network on Thursday, are as follows:

• Jonathan Coulton - "Skullcrusher Mountain"
• MC Frontalot - "Livin' on the Corner of Dude and Catastrophe"
• Darkest of the Hillside Thickets - "Shhh…"

Each track will be available for 99 cents or 80 Microsoft Points. Those who decide to spring for the whole three-track set (dubbed the "PAX 2008 Collection") will have to cough up US$ 2.99 or 240 Microsoft Points. Proceeds gained between launch and Holiday 2008 will go directly to the Penny Arcade-run Child's Play Charity.
