Animation has been headlining as "A Tribute to RUSH" since the first show in March,
1987 at "Chances R" in Palatine, IL. We've mostly played Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin
but we'll drive up to six (or so) hours to play a gig. Do you have a favorite venue
that needs a RUSH tribute band? We WANT to hear from you. MN, MI, IA, OH, KY, WI,
IN, IL, MO, Canada! Drop us a note and tell us about it. EVERY show is ALL RUSH
music. We've played a lot of different RUSH tunes over the years. The list on the
Songlist link reflects every song Animation has EVER played out. We're currently
proficient with about 5.5 hours of the list. We are ALWAYS working on improving
and adding songs. On average, you'll see about 26 songs per show. About 10 of those
will be in (almost) every show. We carefully rotate the remaining songs to plan
a new and different set-list for each show. We try to include one EPIC tune (or
album side/ medley), per show, in the first set.
