AAAND we're back! RUSH BAR 2 coming up on December 29th! This time we're focusing on the 2112, AFTK, Hemispheres, and MP! https://www.facebook.com/events/1522212184501224 http://www.rushbar.info/

Hi all! Well, were 3 weeks away from the very first RUSH BAR Event! The responses have been incredible and there are lots of enthusiastic fans gearing up to join us! Celebrating the March 1974 release of "RUSH" - at 9:15 sharp Then Permanent Waves, Signals, Roll the Bones, and Clockwork! All back to back, in chronological order and in full! First 50 people to join us will receive a commemorative "RB1" pin! Plus we'll have loads of event posters to take home too. Hope many of you can make it!

Superb idea!! (The Skype thing) Gonna look into that! Hey you could rent a Jag while here! Steering will be on the wrong side though but you'll get used to it quick! ha ha I was in London a couple months ago and a friend asked me if Id like to drive while there. I didn't even try lol! So many round-a-bouts and bicycles! :) Cheers!

Hi! Damn it! You are the 3rd person to tell me that. Which is so totally cool really! Next one we'll look into a place thats at least 18+ (This one is at a famous dive bar in LB and its free for me to use the joint. If this one works, another will definitely be planned). But please, if you know people in So Cal that would dig this, please pass the info to em!

Hey! See? Another reason to look forward to RUSH BAR 2! Maybe we'll plan it perfectly and you will be in town at that time and you can drive the coast to our next endeavor! Thats funny you mention how uncool rush fans were. Not much has changed really. We're still weirdos to the others that dont get the band. I like it that way! Im 45 now and have been getting grief from rockers since I was a kid. "Rush nerd!" and "I hate that guys voice" has always been a thing. And thats ok, those guys arent invited! :P Cheers!!

Hi! Yea, kinda far, especially on a Friday. This is the 1st one, hoping that a good cool crowd shows and there is enough enthusiasm to do it again. Ideally we want to move it around to different bars and feature different albums. 1st one here in LB, next one maybe in the valley, then OC. Who knows! And yea, this is merely 5 albums outta 20+ so we have loads of time and material to review and drink to! If you know others that would be into this, please tell em! Word of mouth is getting around and im getting some really great responses about this. Even gonna have commemorative 1" pins for it for all those that show! "RB1" it'll say. See what I did there? Cheers!

The bar event is lookin good! Gaining some ground and lots of "What? Really?" going on. Been promoting locally in Long Beach, the main reaction being "at the Que?". Its a famous dive bar that many many people frequent, different themes almost every night, so a Rush night isn't to far of a stretch for the place. Whats really cool is discovering closeted Rush fans out there in the world. "I love Rush!" - a term not heard so much in the past but today, I think with new generations of fans and the kids of Rush fan parents, they're seemingly leaving their pools for the sea! ha ha The other inquiries have been "Are you going to play Tom Sawyer"... gonna save that for last. As sort of an encore. As a professional DJ, I could stand there all night and just play the hits. Why do that? We're playing entire albums! The albums we don't play this time, we'll save for the next one! Web site is up too, complete info to hit at the new year! http://www.rushbar.info

Happy 2112! At my desk at the day job, side A is almost done, co-workers are annoyed by the beautiful racket coming out of my speakers. To them its nothing new, its just a waste of time. Another ploy to help destroy the common ways of work, it doesn't fit the plan (of the day) Ok, enough of that lol! About to begin side B. Hope they're ready to go to Bangkok and the Twilight Zone!

Hi! That we have to figure out still. So much to choose from! Has to be one from the 80s and one from the 90s, what an awesome dilemma! Gonna take suggestions as we get closer to the event though. We might even be able to go for 5 records, looking at the running times, but that might run too late. Very excited about this!

Hi Rush fans and distant Rush family! Hope this ok to post here, don't want to overstep my bounds, we want to invite every Rush fan in the world to this! On March 31st, my wife and I are throwing a “RUSH NIGHT” at a bar in Long Beach California. What we’re going to do is play 4, maybe 5 albums, in their entirety, beginning the night with “RUSH”, (released in March, 1974), and progressing thru the evening, in chronological order, ending the night with Clockwork. We will also be holding a couple fund raising raffles that night too with some cool RUSH items & memorabilia as prizes! No cover charge to get in, strictly 21 and over only, starts at 9pm, first album on at 9:15 --- “””RUSH””” (making its debut in Long Beach CA. some 43 years after its release!) Below is the FB invite. As we get closer to the event it will be more and more updated but there’s info on it now for those that wish to make plans to attend. Gonna be a lot of fun! The idea is to bring together a couple hundred die-hard RUSH fans, (like ourselves), listen to albums in full on a nightclub sound system, enjoy beers and drinks, and obviously talk about and enjoy – wholeheartedly – the theme of the night. Hope many of you can join us! Three months to go! DJ DAVE SKOTT https://www.facebook.com/events/1249541265089738/
