Together with Rounder Records, NCM Fathom Events brings a rare VIP
concert experience to fans with the one-night cinema event “RUSH:
Clockwork Angels Tour” on Monday, Nov. 18 at 7:00 p.m. local time.
The “RUSH: Clockwork Angels Tour” event is a celebration for
passionate and loyal Rush fans to experience a big screen taste of the
band’s upcoming, long-anticipated DVD release and relive the tour.
Pre-recorded in Dallas and Phoenix on the band's extensive “Clockwork
Angels Tour,” the 2013 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees perform such
classics such as "Tom Sawyer," "The Spirit of Radio" and "2112"
alongside newly arranged material featuring the Clockwork Angels String
Ensemble, which marks the first time the trio has taken additional
musicians on stage. This epic fan experience also features 25 minutes of
exclusive, behind-the-scenes Rush footage that includes interviews with
all three members and offers a rare glimpse into the band’s touring life.
Tickets for “RUSH: Clockwork Angels Tour” will be
available Thursday, Oct. 31 at 21:12 (9:12 p.m. ET) online at www.FathomEvents.com
and at participating theater box offices. The event will be presented in
more than 350 select movie theaters around the country through NCM’s
exclusive Digital
Broadcast Network. For a complete list of theater locations and
prices, visit the NCM Fathom Events website (theaters and
participants are subject to change).
With more than 40 million records sold worldwide and countless sold-out
tours, Rush –Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart– are not only one
of the most inventive and compelling groups in rock history, but remains
one of the most popular. “Their influence is undeniable…and their legacy
is that of a band that stayed true to themselves no matter how uncool
they may have seemed to anyone. I think it’s safe to say that Rush are
indeed a band that has balls…and they’ve ALWAYS been cool,” said Dave
Grohl of the Foo Fighters, during Rush’s induction into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame.
“Rush rocks, plain and simple, and their fans are truly passionate,”
said Dan Diamond, senior vice president of NCM Fathom Events. “The
‘RUSH: Clockwork Angels Tour’ up on the big screen, front row center
with theater sound, will be a concert experience their fans will never
forget.”
Rush burst out of Canada in the early 1970s with one of the most
powerful and identifiable sounds of the decade. Their 1976 magnum opus
“2112” represents progressive rock at its finest, but their catalogue
also features shorter, but no less dynamic, tunes such as “Tom Sawyer,”
“The Spirit Of Radio” and “Limelight” that remain in constant rotation
on radio to this day. Absolutely uncompromising in every conceivable
way, the trio has cultivated the largest cult fan base in rock while
still managing to fill every arena in the country. They are a band
completely removed from the mainstream music scene, and yet somehow
remain one of the most popular rock bands in the world. It is a
dichotomy that has fueled them from the very beginning. Their newest
release, “Clockwork Angels,” is as bold and ambitious as
any of their works, and though the band is entering their 40th
year together, their music is as vital and relevant as it has ever been.
