Episode 6. Tears
Rush Rash with Chaz N Schatz
10/10/23 • 87 min
Bop! Bozadee, bozadee, bop, zitty bop! Chaz N Schatz welcome Scott "Mini-festo" Monroe of And The Podcast Will Rock fame, to share his wit, wisdom and a healthy appreciation for Van Halen and National Taco Day...and Rush! Scott's got his own history with the band that he shares before getting into one of the most tender tracks ever recorded - Tears - off of Rush's 1976 epic and iconic album 2112. If you forgot this track or it's been a while, you're forgiven...when was the last time you listened to side two of 2112?!?! Just kidding - who listens to records anymore?!?! WHISTLE!! Mr. Feder...calm down!
We were so thrilled to have Scott join us that we dumped name checking (beyond the usual suspect What No Way Guy and our new friend Steve from Moving Pictures - Scotland) in favor of music analysis, and not just the core track. We did chat up the Bubba Bash and Rush Tribute greats YYNOT (and we have news to share on that item too!) Man - the global Rush Tribute Band Community ROCKS - and response from everyone has been so great, we get a little weepy and wipey - and end up smelling like Pumpkin Spice for the rest of the evening...dude...anyway, this episode saw us poke around on these internets and inter-webs thingies in "real time", and we found some cool shit to share. Second Contact performing Tears at a Rush Camp for the Rush Rats (sponsored by the charitable group Overtime Angels) that we knew nothing about, and a special high-profile cover-version surprise that caught us all off guard. So grab your DudeWipes, lock the door, put your head between your knees, and listen for the Choir of Angels on a very mint-spicy and yet tender, rash-ey RushRash.
We're also thrilled to announce our first sponsor - Danforth & Pape | Outfitters - the creators of some of the best Rush inspired t-shirts and social media posts ever. You know you want that Le Studio shirt - get it here!! Or the epic t-shirt commemorating the gauntlet known as Barchetta...you need these folks on your short list - "Personal Outfitter" is their appropriate role. Please visit their shop on Facebook, and tell them you heard about them here!

Some thick North Jersey accents and they give you some royalty-free sound effects and movie clips too - what more do you need to indulge your urge to scratch?!

Episode 22. Anagram
Rush Rash with Chaz N Schatz
03/10/24 • 100 min
In this electrifying episode of Rush Rash, Chaz n Schatz are riding the Red Barchetta into hisgly technical territories with an exclusive jam session featuring none other than Joe Cruz, a powerhouse on the drums and a true disciple of the Professor.
Fresh off a high-octane master-class performance that clocks faster than a 1970 Lamborghini Miura P400 S, Joe sits down with Chaz n Schatz for a no-holds-barred conversation that dives deep into the essence of Joe’s passion for Rush, and commitment to musical precision and perfection.
- What secret Rush rituals keep Joe playing his kits like a man possessed?
- In a battle for the attention of your brain, how does Joe's work stack up with the originals? Listen throughout the episode.
- How did he capture the spirit of The Professor in a drum solo?
This episode is a love letter to all things Rush, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, with a side of bacon (Canadian, naturally). We get the skinny on Joe's latest projects that have him feelin’ it out on cuts by the Stone Temple Pilots, Tool, and other curveball bands. He’s a man of many talents, so spend time with Chaz N Schatz getting to know the man and his passion for beating things with sticks.
Joe pays homage to the holy triumvirate, his journey into the heart of Rush fandom, and we ponder big questions like why every drum kit deserves a name. We spin up Anagram off 1989’s Presto and have a rash-scratchin’ time listening.
We do the usual dive into the news, and forget to namedrop our bitchin’ sponsor Danforth and Pape. You simply must check out the Rush inspired T-Shirts at their facebook page – Danforth & Pape.
And don’t forget to scratch that itch live by going to see any of these Grade-A Rush lovin’ bands:

Rush Rash with Chaz N Schatz
12/22/24 • 95 min
It's the Year in Review episode! 2024 was our first full year so we spin the wheel and reminisce on the shows, the songs, and most importantly all the special friends we've made this past year. Join Chaz N Schatz for a walk through the dusty halls of memory and prior glory. From Montvale Hardware, to Dude Wipes, we go back to the old days when we had a simple vision for what this show could be...and reconcile that with what we've become!
The wheel gives us one to jam on as we close out the year with one Chaz has manifested on occasion, The Main Monkey Business off 2007's Snakes and Arrows. An instrumental powerhouse, and as you know, no one sits out!

RushRash911 Episode 10 I Am...You Are
Rush Rash with Chaz N Schatz
11/14/24 • 19 min
Episode 10 - I Am...You Are, the other lost track off My Favorite Headache that Geddy just released at the end of last year to coincide with the release of My Effin Life. We try to follow along and get lost along the way, but we still manage to keep it to 20 minutes of Rush-related blah-blah.
The show...it's a quick fix to help soothe your RushRash - your itch to hear Rush music - get a dose of new tunes by Ged and Al with your RushRash clinicians, Chaz N Schatz.
A new random choice spinning 18 song wheel made up of Alex Lifson's contributions to Today Was Yesterday and Geddy's 2 new tracks, released with the memoir My Effin Life, but written and recorded at the time of My Favorite Headache in 1999-2000. We included that whole record as well, since it deserves to be heard! We hoist a shot in memory of The Professor, and proceed to listen to whatever the wheel lands on. You know the drill. Effin eh?
20 minute cure - your in-N-out clinic for a quick Rushian fix. Join Chaz N Schatz and hear something new from Lerxt or Dirk today!

Episode 12. Chemistry
Rush Rash with Chaz N Schatz
11/15/23 • 87 min
Chaz N Schatz find themselves with another severe case of Rush Rash - this one seemingly as bad if not worse than anything we've seen so far. Drummer and Singer Matt Grou of Quebec's New World Men! The Containment Unit might have still been a little on the rank side after Steve Brown from Moving Pictures UK's last treatment, but Matt put up with the Vegi-Haggis and Poopourri afterglow like the tough French-Canadian he is!
Matt is 1/3 of a powerhouse Rush full-frontal, multi-media experience. Full Monty ain't got nothin' on the big swinging these guys bring off every show. Light, cameras, big production and red jumpsuits - these guys are beyond legit in their ability to pull off every era of Rush with masterful precision. Schatz needed to change his shorts twice during the recording, and he refused to use those unnamed male sanitary products, so it made us all Evan a little more uncomfortable...but again, Matt was a trooper.
After a truly fascinating discussion of what it takes to play with Peart-ian precision and sing all of Geddy's parts, the wheel doses us with Chemistry from 1982's Signals!
We introduce Matt to our sponsor, Danforth & Pape, dive into song facts and insights from RushVault.com, get a little Rush news from Rush Is A Band Blog, and hear some new music from Dirk himself. That, and Chaz actually pronounces Ashwaubenon!
There's also a strange update regarding the fate of the "For Eyes Only" incident that's come to be known as The Episode 10. Cygnus X-1, Book 1, The Voyage, Incident.
So put on your favorite French accent and try and keep up on an epic music-nerd fest of an episode of Rush Rash.

Episode 7. Alien Shore
Rush Rash with Chaz N Schatz
10/17/23 • 97 min
Chaz N Schatz genuflect and give a heartfelt "We're Not Worthy!!" to Billy Alexander & Tim Starace from YYNOT.
We were so thrilled to have YYNOT join us that we dumped name checking (beyond the usual suspect What No Way Guy) in favor of chatting up the band and going deep with YYNOT and Rush music analysis and organized chaos. We got the scoop on the 2024 Bubba Bash, Billy's new release Alpha Rhythm, and holy shit - a fuck-ton whole lot more than we bargained for!! (The language...these guys...)
Fast Facts:
Tim doesn't dream.
Billy's had nightmares about performing with Rush.
The 2023 Bubba Bash raised over $100K for the Neil Peart wing at Cedar Sinai!
Schatz bollocks up the vote...(whose Shatz is hanging now??)
We share a special Mental Health Day message from the home office at Danforth & Pape, deep dive on how YYNOT came to be, the band, their life on the road, gear choices in the studio versus the stage, traveling preferences, male-oriented wipe preferences (Tim's preferences...), the evolution of the Bubba Bash, and so much more...we're really gonna blow your drawers out with a pants-load of YYNOT coverage. So grab whatever it is you sanitize with, don't look at your fingers, and join us for our best behavior episode - one that would have made Dad proud. Welcome to the sweet-spot baybee...cacao! Cacao!!

Episode 27. How It Is
Rush Rash with Chaz N Schatz
04/21/24 • 123 min
What happens when you end up having to reschedule Ffej Herb, drummer from award-winning Rush Tribute Band Solar Federation twice? You get a whole lot to catch up on!
With a grudge against our song wheel and a shit-ton of stuff going on, Ffej assumes control and gives Chaz n Schatz the skinny on all the interplanetary action with Solar Federation:
Working with Moving Pictures' Steve "That IS a veggie-haggis in my pocket!" Brown to collaborate with legendary Rush producer Terry Brown on the recording of Witch Hunt.
Recording with Rush album cover artist Hugh Syme, who also played keys on the original track off the iconic Moving Pictures.
Playing for larger and larger crowds and winning the award for best tribute band in all of central Pensylvania for the second time.
Planning set list changes, new song additions, what it took to get to the level he's at today and what it takes to stay in shape and keep music muscle memory in top form.
Partying and playing at F50 - Ffej's 50th birthday bash / concert.
With an axe to grind on our Wheel of Lamneth, Ffej says Mulligans be damned and we spin the oddly upbeat How It Is off 2002's otherwise dark Vapor Trails. The music talk Schatz was looking to have the first visit with Ffej finally has a chance to breathe as we explore the finer points of drumming appreciation 101.
As always, we name drop all of our favorite websites and we might not say it outright, but we're always thinking about our kick-ass sponsor Danforth & Pape. We play the usual games, plug the hell out of our Scratch List, and hear from The No Waaaayyy guy for the first time in a hot minute! But speaking of that Schatz's Scratch List - go scratch with these bands live - including Solar Federation!
