KennyLee Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 kRUSH has been chosen to play RatCon 2014! What is RatCon?RatCon is a gathering of die hard Rush fans for a weekend of fun and celebration of the band Rush. This event will be held in Marlboro, NJ. Why a rat?Credit needs to be given where credit is due. The entire Rat theme was formulated by Mr. Oddtimessarcasm back in an April of 2008 thread right as Rush was settling down in Puerto Rico. He said as he saw it, that there were three underlying themes in the world of Rush right now. "We are fat on Rush right now and we aren't used to it. We are used to six year layoffs and tidbits of news every 15 months or so. Now we have been stuffing ourselves silly on new albums and Geddy, Alex or Neil on the cover of pretty much every music magazine you have and have not heard of. This is not our usual feeding pattern and we are confused little animals. Like the Rats we are, we just keep pulling the treat handle and hoping the pellets never stop coming. Some day the echo of pellets will no longer ring in our rodent brains and then what the hell are we going to talk about?" These are the coolest people in the world and have embraced our band, kRUSH. We are absolutely thrilled to be playing in front of the most rabid, die hard Rush fans you have ever seen. I can't wait!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're getting paid.No free food? Like McDonalds? A bands gotta eat The rats are amazing people. The weekend is food, beverages, Rush themed games and events, an awesome tribute band (shameless plug) and great peeps! They are also generously paying the band for performing. I know you are joking, TM, but we are so thrilled to be doing this event. Playing Rush music is so fun (we have as much fun at practice as anywhere) but playing it for people who get it (geddit) and appreciate it is so freaking rewarding. Every time we nail a La Villa or Natural Science or Losing It I get a Rush (pun intended) like you wouldn't believe... every time. :dweez: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
