Rush (band)

Rush is an acclaimed Canadian progressive rock band comprising bassist/keyboardist/vocalist Geddy Lee (formerly Gary Weinrib), guitarist Alex Lifeson (real name Alexander Zivojinovich), and drummer Neil Peart (pronounced: 'Peert') who recorded their first album in 1974. The band was formed in the summer of 1968, in Sarnia, Ontario by Lifeson, Lee, and John Rutsey. They soon moved to Toronto to further their career. Peart replaced Rutsey on drums in 1974, to complete the present lineup.
