Episode 12. Chemistry

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.
