New Website and Updated Shows!

Hello fellow Rush fans!

Just stopping in to let everyone know that the new website is completed at http://www.rushtributeband.com

Here you can find all information related to Grace Under Pressure with videos, music clips, show schedule and links to all our online resources! Hope you like it! :)

We are returning to Dingbatz on May 29th in Clifton NJ and are really excited about this gig as we are joined by the Led Zeppelin tribute PureZep69, Vertigo and Serious 23. This is going to be a fantastic show and we have two sets of great Rush tunes to play for you!

A lot is happening on the Grace Under Pressure front and we are going to be posting more shows for the month of June shortly. We are also heading into the studio in June so it's looking to be a busy month!

We are really looking forward to seeing you down at one of our shows and don't hesitate to come over and introduce yourselves.

Also, anyone who is planning on going to the Mohegan Sun show in CT, let us know...we are trying to put together a group to party before hand! :)

See you on the 29th!

Getting there...

Putting a tribute band together might not seem like a hard thing to do, but ask anyone and the majority opinion will agree that putting a RUSH tribute band together is no easy task. 

With band members coming and going, I think we are finally settled on our final band line-up with Joe Scarangella (formerly of Power Windows) joining. We are thrilled to have him aboard!

Every member in this band is a hardcore Rush fan and fully realize that we are at the early stages of developing our act. We had our first performance at the legendary Dingbatz venue on April 16th. Although we played well for our first gig, we were plagued by a late evening rain storm which significantly reduced the number of people who were going to attend. 

So looking forward....we wanted to create this blog to keep the fans (and new fans) updated of our progress in hoping to bring the premiere Rush tribute act to the tri-state area...and beyond! :)

We still have a few logistical things to iron out (demo, booking agent, etc.) but are hoping to officially hit the road sometime in June.

We've also started a poll on the right. Let us know if you'd like to hear the entire Moving Pictures or 2112 album at our next show!

Also, let us know who is going to either the PNC or Mohegan Sun shows this summer....some band members will be there and it would be cool to meet up!

Wandering the face of the earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal
For a limited time....
