Michael Wilton of Queensryche Latest News

[Joe O'Brien]

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to fill everyone in on all the latest news before I hit the
road with Queensryche this week.

CD sales have been great and the band is getting lots of radio play
thanks to your continued requests to the stations. The band
appreciates your love and support!

All new designs for my clothing line "Whipwear" will be available
soon. I will keep you updated as to when they will be available the
the public.

I recently did some tracks for Ronny Munroe (singer of Metal Church)
on his new solo CD "The Fire Within" You can listen to one of the
songs I played on if you visit www.myspace.com/ronnymunroe It's called
"What you chose to Call Hell (I call Home) The song was just posted n
his site today!

I am still working on my new solo cd (yet untiltled) but I should have
it ready for you sometime in late 2009. It will be available wordwide
via Rat Pak Records / Century Media Distribution

With the help of Rat Pak Records I will be launching a new site called
"Whip Nation" in the near future. On the new site you will be able to
get weekly updates from the road, street wear, CD's, merch, song
samples, and many other goodies. There will be a special online
"members only" club you will be able to sign up for and get discounts
on just about everything some exclusive free downloads. You can visit
www.myspace.com/ratpaknewengland for all the latest updates.

I am also in process of manufacturing my own brand of Beer. The best
way to describe it is that it's got an Irish/Mexican vibe to it.
Somewhere along the line of your favorite Irish beer meets the taste
of a Corona.
