QUEENSRYCHE'S GEOFF TATE TO SING NATIONAL ANTHEM AT NBC SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME THIS SUNDAY: Queensryche front man Geoff Tate will be performing the National Anthem this Sunday, October 14th, when the Seattle Seahawks host the New Orleans Saints at Qwest Field for NBC's Sunday Night Football. The game will begin at 5:15pm Pacific/8:15pm Eastern with Tate's performance taking place just prior to kickoff.

In addition to their constant touring, Queensryche recently released Sign of The Times: The Best of Queensryche on Capitol/EMI and will soon be releasing Take Cover via Rhino, which is slated to come out on Tuesday, November 13. Take Cover is an adventurous 11-song collection of covers ranging from Black Sabbath to Broadway, including the band's unique take on songs by U2, Queen, Pink Floyd, Buffalo Springfield, Peter Gabriel, The Police, The O'Jays and more. Just two days after the release of the CD, the band will embark on an overseas tour that will land in such countries as Spain, Portugal, Italy, England, Wales, Scotland and the Netherlands.
