Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson found Anika on Youtube. I started going to RUSH concerts when I was a kid and I’m really picky. After listening to her- she’s going to do just fine. Can’t wait to go back and see them all

Bass in this song sounds a bit like Geddy at times.

Written by her and keys and piano by her and of course drums.

Rush style syncopation in this one and you can hear Peart’s influence. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lowk0E2_dAM

Meg White and her “Icky Thump” i appreciate perfedtion, or near perfection, but ido prefer struggling, or organic/garag3 band sound i guess sound as long as i5s no5 too far off- like meg’s sound

I wonder if she will expand the drum set size when she is playing with Rush...as was said with Neil’s set, it was the only one in rock with it’s zip/postal code...

Thanks for sharing the video.

I heard the news yesterday that Rush would be doing a limited tour (with Neil's family's blessing).
I wasn't sure what to think at first, but it just makes sense the more I think about it.
They had John Rutsey before Neil.
Neil's influence during his long era was huge, but Geddy and Alex still have a desire to play, so they should do it while they can.

Anika Nilles toured with the late, GREAT Jeff Beck...the absolute highest recommendation from that gig...
