We are Long Island's Premier 3-Piece RUSH Tribute Band looking forward to meeting you at our shows! THANKS to all who came down to our last show at Lulu's Village Pub in Port Jefferson 11/21/09.
PRESS KIT IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. Rush Hour was formed in 1989 by Bob Daniels (bass guitar, lead vocals, keyboards & synthesizers) as a group dedicated to performing the music of the classic rock band, Rush. Since 1989, the band has experienced personnel changes that have led up to the current line-up with Gene Drum (percussion) and Dave Capodanno (guitar, synthesizers, backing vocals). Rush Hour covers four decades of Rush music with a major concentration in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, a time when Rush produced such major radio hits as Tom Sawyer, Spirit of Radio, Freewill and Subdivisions.
Rush Hour has always prided itself as being the only 3-piece Rush tribute band in the New York City area. The dedicated talent and musicianship of the three members enable the band to reproduce Rush music in all aspects from difficult vocal parts to unique guitar patterns and complex time structures, while including the general presence of keyboard/synthesizer textures. The band has played extensively throughout its existence, mostly on Long Island and has adopted the name Rush Hour, as it frequently has been called upon to play structured short sets. This mostly came about when asked to frequently serve as the warm up act for the popular 80’s band, Zebra. Rush Hour is an ever developing tribute band, focused on continuously improving itself to remain NYCs premier Rush tribute band. Set lists continuously include new songs as the band is always working to build its catalogue of music. Each show typically includes new showcase material. Rush Hour is available on the weekends to play at clubs, bars, private parties and corporate events. It also welcomes sharing shows with other bands as well as serving as a solo act. The band provides all its necessary equipment, including its own PA System.
Rush Hour typically publicizes and promotes each of its shows through the following means: (1) The band WEBSITE (www.rushhr.com) (2) Bulletin postings on the bands MySpace site (3) Notifications to the band's large Facebook community (4) Advertisements in Good Times entertainment publications (5) notifications on Craigslist NY (6)Multiple mass Email distributions (7) Mailed flyers (8)Word of mouth
Compensation requirements are negotiable.

Yes !! For sure !!! I want to have Rush forcefully inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame because they deserve that kind of respect and all in all I'm a respectable guy. So I'm gonna spear head this worldwide effort to have RUSH inducted once and for all !! Not only that but I want a special Rush exhibit even bigger than the one they gave KISS. Ok man, take care, nice talkin with you. Smokey.
Hey guys. I'm the manager for a big time up and coming Rush support project !!!! We're doing a reality show and one of our sketches involves getting Rush into the Rock Hall Of Fame. We're pretty sure it'll be next year or 2011. I got a few major celebrities on board and I'm collecting tribute bands. Please keep in touch. You guys are awesome and all the RUSH fans in the world need to stick together !
Thanks for the friendship! Looking forward to meeting you and please visit my personal "My Space". New live Mp3's and videos. Lots of information about me. Looking for a new music adventure!
Wow guys, your Largo Cultural Center show was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although I would like to have heard more of '2112', I guess you don't have time to do everything. Still in all, 'Xanadu', 'Cygnus X-1', 'Bytor and the Snow Dog'....How cool is that????
Hey oh!! Just checking in to thank you again for the add and the listen. We really appreciate it! We'll be playing a lot these next few months and hopefully we'll have the pleasure of your support at a show! (We're in Port Jefferson this Thursday, Boston on Friday, and NYC on July 31st.)
