Queensryche

Description

If you listened to rock radio in the mid-to-late 80's, chances are a week didn't go by that you weren't smacked between the ears by a wall of sound generated by a musical quintet called Queensryche. Combining distinctive vocals, crunching guitars and a heart-pounding rhythm section, you were tempted to turn it up to a level just below the point of blowing out your speakers and perhaps your eardrums. It was powerful, dramatic, progressive, diverse and electrifying. It was definitive Queensryche.

The musical journey began in 1981 when a few friends hailing from the suburbs of Bellevue, Washington - Geoff Tate, Michael Wilton, Scott Rockenfield, Eddie Jackson and Chris DeGarmo - got together and formed a pivotal rock band. Not ones to relax, the band will once again do what they love to do - perform in front of their fans off-and-on throughout the year. Projects on the horizon include a double live CD and double live DVD set of the recent 2006 "Mindcrime" tour - Mindcrime at the Moore - slated for June release and a "Best of" CD release via Capitol/EMI in late summer 2007.

Now more than two decades after their inception, the band has sold over 20 million albums, numerous hits and consistently tours in over 22 different countries worldwide. In addition, they've been nominated for a Grammy four times and have had their music featured in three feature films. Considered by many music critics to be an innovative music entity, Queensryche has inspired many-a-musician since they began their musical trek together twenty six years ago.
