When it comes to Xbox Live's Artist of the Month feature, February belonged to Good Charlotte. March, now, belongs to Modest Mouse.

And as a first treat for all music fans, the band's music video for their song "Dashboard" is available for download now at the Marketplace.

Modest Mouse is not entirely a newcomer. Hailing from Issaquah, Washington, they actually made their debut in the music scene back in 1994 sporting an indie label.

Their career started to bloom in 2000 after they signed a record deal with Epic. They are scheduled to conduct a world tour for their current album "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank."

It's still early March and more details and goodies are expected to arrive soon. Schedules of their appearance in Game With Fame will be announced shortly.

It is already January and the new month wouldn't be complete without the Xbox Live Artist of the Month! Last December, we all went crazy with the amazing and quirky duo of Tenacious D. God, I'm sooo afflicted with the greatest song in the world syndrome, if you know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, January's spotlight belongs to Minneapolis-based punk and rock quintet Quietdrive. Well, we've never had the opportunity to see them perform yet but we dig their song especially "Rise from the Ashes." A little bit of trivia here, the same song was part of the official soundtrack of EA's NHL 07.

Anyway, Xbox Live members, as usual, have the chance to download exclusive Quietdrive content at the Marketplace. But more interestingly, a sweepstakes is also currently underway with top prizes including an Xbox 360 console, a copy of Gears of War as well as the chance to go head to head against the band in November.

The said sweepstakes will run all month long and end on January 31.. The Read link, by the way, will lead you to the contest's official page. Punks not dead! Congrats to Quietdrive!

It's gonna be a damn D-licious December with da delightful duo of Tenacious D as they do da Xbox Live dive as the dartist of da donth!

Errr...sorry got a wee bit carried away with all the D's there but basically, as the title says, Tenacious D has been chosen to be this month's Artist of the Month! So say hello to exclusive Tenacious D content on Marketplace, including FREE downloadable music videos from their album, "The Pick of Destiny."

And not only that, select XBL Gold members will also have the chance to go gaming with the band during their 90-minute "Game with Fame" session! What could be cooler than going head to head with Jack Black and Kyle Gass, right? (Something about that didn't sound right, but anyway...)

If you wanna go head to head with these hilarious dudes, all you have to do is log onto the Tenacious D site which you can access by clicking on the read link below.

The "Artist of the Month" feature over at Xbox Live is a result of the year-long agreement of Microsoft with Epic Records. The program gives members access to exclusive HD entertainment content from today's stars. Previous artists featured include Cartel, The Fray and Audioslave. The list becomes even more exciting this October as Microsoft goes with the young band Augustana.

The five members of Augustana hail from different locations all over the country but they are more known as the band from Greenville, Illinois. This former college band is thrilled to be this month's chosen pick. "Being the Xbox Live ‘Artist of the Month’ is a great opportunity for us to play against and chat with our fans around world," shares vocalist Dan Layus.

Xbox Live members can download three free Augustana videos which include "Boston," "Boston Live Performance" and "Stars and Boulevards." Select Xbox Live Gold members will also have the opportunity to play with the band during the Xbox Live's "Game with Fame" 90-minute session.

We all know that Xbox Live's Artist of the Month for August is Audioslave, and with that said, here's a bit of news for all you Audioslave fans: their second music video "Original Fire" has already hit the Marketplace.

The second music video, like the first, is from their upcoming album Revelations which will be hitting stores on the 5th of September. The music video comes in the usual 480p and 720p formats and weighs in at 39.93MB and 222.14MB respectively.

And for those (still) not in the know, Audioslave is an alternative rock group headed by Chris Cornell (of Soundgarden fame) and the musicians of Rage Against the Machine. So if you want to check out the music video or haven't heard of Audioslave, go ahead and download the new video off of the Marketplace.

Today Microsoft announced that their Xbox Live Artist of the Month for August is rock band Audioslave. During the course of this month, there are going to be numerous giveaways for Xbox Live members, including a free version of the group’s latest video for “Original Fire,” a chance to play and chat with Audioslave over Xbox Live in Madden NFL 07 when it ships later this month, plus the chance to win an Xbox 360 and a copy of Audioslave’s latest CD, Revelations. As an added bonus, fans can download exclusive behind-the-scenes video footage of the band at work and play.

Audioslave began recording its third album, including hit single “Original Fire” almost as soon as it came off the road last winter after touring behind 2005’s Out of Exile. Love, life and loss are all themes on the new album. Audioslave’s song “Revelations” will also be featured on the Madden NFL 07 video game soundtrack.

To count down the days to Madden’s release, Xbox Live Marketplace will offer new Madden bonus materials every day starting the 1st of August until the game launches on the 22nd of the same month, including game trailers, NFL gamer pics and themes, as well as behind-the-scenes development interviews and downloadable stadiums. So if you're into Audioslave go ahead and check out all the goodies that will be available this month.
