VELVET REVOLVER/Ex-GUNS N' ROSES Bassist DUFF MCKAGAN Goes nuTsie

June 18, 2008

nuTsie.com today announced that Duff McKagan, founding member of legendary rock bands GUNS N' ROSES and VELVET REVOLVER, has joined the company's advisory board. McKagan has taken an active role in managing the affairs of his bands and will bring 25-plus years of music business experience to the dynamic, Seattle-based digital music company.

"First and foremost, I'm a music fan and a musician," said McKagan. "And nuTsie is all about the music. Getting your own music anywhere, anytime. Finding new songs that you like, which is a rush for me even after all these years of listening to and playing music.

"I've seen a lot go down over the years with GN'R and now VELVET REVOLVER," added McKagan. "Working with nuTsie is a great opportunity to put my experience to work for one of the most viable new digital music models. This is also a chance for me personally to get more active in the business world, which is one of my long-term personal goals."

McKagan's addition bolsters nuTsie's already considerable credibility as a digital music company with real connections to music. The company previously announced the addition of Dave Dederer, of the Grammy-nominated and platinum-selling band THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, to its advisory board and then to its executive staff.
