Back in October Alex Lifeson's Envy of None project with Andy Curran, guitarist Alfio Annibalini and vocalist Maiah Wynne, announced that they'd be releasing a new album in the Spring of 2025, and debuted a music video for the album's first single - Not Dead Yet. In December they released a second single titled Under the Stars, and earlier this week revealed the name and release date of the album. Envy of None's sophomore release is titled Stygian Wavz and will release via Kscope Records on March 14th with pre-orders available here. The project also released a video for the album's title track which you can check out below or on YouTube, and the entire tracklist is as follows:

The Stan Greenspon Holocaust and Social Justice Education Center in Charlotte, NC will be hosting Rush's Geddy Lee for a community commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The appearance will occur a week from this coming Monday on January 27th, and Rush is promoting the event as a special one-off extension of Ged's My Effin' Life In Conversation book tour:

SPECIAL GEDDY LEE EVENT - JAN 27, 2025
Charlotte, North Carolina - we will see you on MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 2025 at 7pm ET @ Sarah Belk Gambrell Center for the Arts & Civic Engagement for a special edition of GEDDY LEE: IN CONVERSATION from My Effin' Life presented by the Stan Greenspon Centre.

We will also have a special merch table with limited number of signed books and posters for sale, in addition to other specialty items, so get your tickets here before we are sold out!

The event will take place on Monday, January 27th at 7PM at the Stan Greenspon Holocaust and Social Justice Education Center in Charlotte, with tickets available here.

As we first reported back in October, Neil Peart's 2004 BMW R1200GS motorcycle will be up for bidding in an upcoming Mecum Auction later this month. The Auction will take place during the 34th annual Vintage & Antique Motorcycle Auction in Las Vegas later this month. The bike was ridden on Rush's R30 Anniversary Tour and ultimately sold to a member of the tour's road crew. The winning bidder will also receive the original purchase receipt signed by Neil, along with 2 Neil Peart drum sticks. The bike is expected to sell in the $40-$50K range. You can see photos of the bike and get all the auction details here.

Last month, Sebastian Bach was featured on AXS TV's Vinyl Obsession podcast where he goes through his favorite records of all time and talks to Eric Young about the stories of why they are so important to him. Bach is a huge Rush fan, and one of the album's he chose was Rush's Exit ... Stage Left. You can listen to him talk about why he chose the album in this YouTube video at the 11-minute mark (thanks RushFanForever).

That's all for this week. Have a great weekend!
