Fan-filmed video footage of the Geoff Tate-fronted
version of QUEENSRŸCHE performing on March 30 at Brewster Street
Icehouse in Corpus Christi, Texas can be seen below (courtesy of Chris Ramon

The current touring lineup of Geoff Tate's QUEENSRŸCHE
includes bassist John Moyer (DISTURBED, ADRENALINE MOB),
renowned drummer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brian Tichy,
known for his tours of duty with BILLY IDOL, FOREIGNER, OZZY
OSBOURNE and WHITESNAKE, and backing singer Sass Jordan (who
sings the duet with Tate in "Suite Sister Mary").
Rounding out the band are guitarist Kelly Gray (QUEENSRŸCHE
1998-2001), keyboardist Randy Gane and guitarist Robert Sarzo (QUIET
RIOT, HURRICANE).
"Frequency Unknown", the latest album from the Geoff Tate-fronted version of QUEENSRŸCHE,
sold around 5,500 copies in its first week of release in the United States to
land at position No. 82 on The Billboard 200 chart. Issued on April 23, 2013,
the CD was produced by Jason Slater at a studio in Northern California.
Geoff Tate
— who was fired from QUEENSRŸCHE in 2012 after fronting it for three
decades — and his former bandmates recently requested more time to hammer out a
settlement in their legal battle over the rights to the group's name.
King County Superior Court Judge Beth Andrus signed a new
order continuing trial date, allowing the parties four more weeks to come to an
agreement over the use of the QUEENSRŸCHE name and its associated
trademarks.
Tate and his former
bandmates were previously granted five additional weeks in two separate trial
continuances in January and February to work on the details of their settlement
agreement.
