Geddy Lee has announced via Instagram that he'll be making an appearance at Toronto record store Dine Alone Store on April 12th for Record Store Day to promote the vinyl release of his Lost Demos. Geddy will be in store from 12PM to 1PM to sign copies of the release (purchase required for signing while quantities last, 1 title per person). Back in late 2023 in the lead up to his My Effin' Life book tour, Geddy Lee released 2 tracks from the My Favorite Headache sessions for streaming. The release was dubbed The Lost Demos and included the previously unreleased tracks Gone and I Am ... You Are. We then learned a couple of months ago that a vinyl release of The Lost Demos would be made available for Record Store Day on April 12. From the RSD website:
For Record Store Day 2025, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee and Rush lead vocalist, bassist, and keyboardist Geddy Lee releases The Lost Demos, two previously unreleased solo songs. Lee originally recorded this pair of demos, "Gone" and "I Am... You Are", during the writing sessions for his 2000 solo debut, My Favorite Headache. With the help of producer/engineer David Bottrill, he has unearthed them for the first time, properly mixed and mastered. Commenting on the project, Geddy said "I'm excited to see these two "lost demos" released - I loved the songs when they were written and in some ways they feel as fresh and perhaps more relevant all these years later." Both songs conjure the spirit of the classic My Favorite Headache, which originally arrived on November 14, 2000.
The release will be available at participating stores on Record Store Day 2025 on Saturday, April 12th. To find a store near you, visit recordstoreday.com.
