The musicians in Spirit of Radio were all born and raised in New York tri-state area. They were brought together and bonded over their love of progressive and melodic rock music. During High School years the most popular music was Heavy Metal (believe it or not) and Pop/New Wave music (not hard to believe). If you did not conform into one of these groups of listeners you were cast out!
Being in a band during our High School years was somewhat of the norm for most of our friends, and Metal bands were by far the rave of the NYC music scene. We all played in various bands to fit in, but for each of us our hearts were yearning for something more, and RUSH was our band of choice. Although a favorite of other progressive rock lovers, this type of music was just not being booked by the local clubs who wanted big hair, tight leather pants and capezios. Alas, we'd all participate in the local Battle of the Bands contests so we could play our 3 Rush songs, but beyond that we'd never make it out of our basements. We'd have to settle for small groups of friends coming over to watch us play and crack open a few bottles of Blatz beer or whatever we could afford and convince someone to buy for us.
We’re practicing hard to bring you a quality RUSH tribute show. We've been talking about doing this for years and we can't wait to get out and play the music we love and celebrate one of the greatest rock groups to grace this earth.
