Two Guys Talking Rush

Hello Rush fans!

Welcome to Episodes 56/57 of the 2GTR Podcast!

Dan and I will be back very soon…don’t you worry. We miss you too!

Thank you again to music video pioneer Tony Van Den Ende our guest on the previous episode.

What a legend!

This week is a very special episode with a very special guest… Andre´ Cholmondeley

If you remember Andre’ interviewed Alex Lifeson last Spring for Make Weird Music.

Here is that interview:

Andre’ is a Asheville NC based musician, sound designer, guitarist, synthesist and founder of Project/Object, longest running Zappa-alumni-based tribute band in the world. 

From the early 1980s, Cholmondeley has worked with synthesis in his original music, from early guitar synths and pedals to studying analog synths, musique concrete, tape splicing and world music at Rutgers University. Currently he works with an ever-evolving compact modular & guitar setup.

Andre´ has demoed at trade shows internationally for MOOG Synths, and is usually on tour somewhere as Tour Manager, Tech, or Production Manager for over twenty five years with prog-rock, fusion and blues legends like Al Di Meola, Keith Emerson, moe., Derek Trucks, Ten Years After, Eddie Jobson and YES.

He has toured & performed more than ten countries on two continents with over a dozen of Frank Zappa’s alumni like Don Preston, Ike Willis, Ed Mann and Napoleon Murphy Brock.

Andre´ is an interviewer and show-host for MAKE WEIRD MUSIC, the popular YouTube channel and social media presence that promotes unique and envelope-pushing art and artists.

Thank you Andre’! And thank you Rush Fans!

Rush Rules!

Love,

John and Dan

Hello Rush fans!

Welcome to Episode 51 of the 2GTR podcast…the best of the best for all things RUSH!

Guess what? Its our one-year anniversary and we got something really special lined up for you!

It’s also the 40th anniversary of Moving Pictures this year and we wanted to celebrate both occasions somehow… so this is what we came up with.

This week John wraps up his conversation with pioneer television/video director/producer Bruce Gowers…ever hear of him?

Probably not…yet, I bet you have seen his work.

Best known for his large-scale live music and event productions, Gowers started his career in his native United Kingdom, where his music video for Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" brought him international recognition, leading to his relocation to the U.S. in the late 1970s.

His career includes a long line of credits for many legendary things including his time with Rush at Le Studio where he directed the Limelight and Tom Sawyer Videos.

I am sure you remember those!

All three of these incredible episodes will be up on Youtube eventually. However, if you are a true RUSH fan you will know exactly what we are talking about.

Happy Birthday to us!

Enjoy!

John & Dan
