Andy Curran of OLE on upcoming Rush releases and possility of new Rush music

[RUSHFREAK101]

. "I think the first year will be pretty selective in terms of what we're going to do," Curran admits. "I don't think we're going to blow our brains out and go from five or six acts to 20 acts. But the appetite to bring in and work on more projects is definitely present."

In the meantime, Curran and label services manager Tyler Tasson, who accompanied him from SRO Management - pre-ole co-owners (along with Rush members Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart) of the Anthem Music Group and Mark-Cain Publishing (which ole purchased, along with associated masters, in March 2015) - have plenty of work to keep them occupied.

Aside from prepping the 40th anniversary deluxe edition of 2112 and a documentary of Rush's R40 tour that is looking to be released in 2016's fourth quarter, Curran is pouring over the catalogue to prep long-unavailable titles for reissue, digitally, on CD and on vinyl. ...

and

despite the trio announcing their retirement from global touring, Curran feels positive that Rush will be writing, recording and releasing more music.

"If I was a gambling man, I would say those guys are going to record some more music," Curran says. "The live component is certainly a question mark with Neil, but they're still quite young at heart. I don't see those guys sitting still for too long and we'll be working with them in the future." ...

Like I always have said...they are way to creative not to make new music. Creativity isn't something you can just switch off.

[Permanent-Rush]

Nice!

[YYZ Working Man]

Andy is a credible guy..I believe him

[J2112YYZ]

Don't have a clue who Andy Curran or OLE is but it's nice to hear there's a strong possibility of Rush doing new music. I thought there was a good chance that could happen even if they don't tour anymore. Their fanbase is loyal enough that they should be able to actually make a little money still off new albums.

* 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of 2112, a documentary about last tour and the possibility of new songs... hum, yeah, perspectivs are excellent! I hope all this come true. :clap:

[Airship2112]

Please for Rush fans sake release the whole test for echo tour on DVD.

[presto123]

Please for Rush fans sake release the whole test for echo tour on DVD.

 

Plus, do a Bottrill remix of CA record. He could work wonders with that great record.

Hate to say it, but CA probably won't ever get a remix. The band is too proud of it and not everyone thinks it has horrible production.

I WANT MORE!
