ABOUT:
R50
R50 wants the incomparable music of Rush to live on. In the spirit of R30 and R40, landmark anniversaries of Rush, R50 is committed to keeping this great music alive to the 50th anniversary of the band and beyond. In that spirit, R50 does the heavy lifting as a trio.
R50's number one priority is to recreate and perform the music of Rush with astounding accuracy. The music is at its most powerful when delivered with the most imitated drum fills, incredible bass lines, layered keyboards, signature guitar solos, and natural lead vocals. The result is a fabulous, powerful, high energy show that is guaranteed to have the entire venue air drumming, and singing every song all night long.
All eras of Rush's journey are represented in R50's live performances- from the hard rock and prog of the 70s, to the synth era of the 80s, to the rock return of the 90s and 2000s. R50 will bring all the best Rush has to offer to their live shows, from the hits to deep tracks. The show appeals to the die hard Rush fans and new listeners.

STUNG
STUNG is here to fill a void we all long for…the sound of The Police…live!
This San Francisco Bay Area band has quickly made a buzz wowing audiences at the hottest Area night clubs and events around the Bay (SF Black & White Ball, Bay to Breakers “Footstock” Concert, Bimbo’s 365 Club), and around the world (Holland Tribute Band Festival). Having even been blessed by a sit-in performance by Police founder / drummer STEWART COPELAND at his Beverly Hills Birthday Party, this trio of gifted musicians have established themselves as the premiere Police experience! STUNG remain dedicated to bringing back that authentic sound that audiences have missed for so long…the sound of the early, the original…The Police.
The sound of The Police is so very distinctive…the poly-rhythmic textures of drummer Stewart Copeland, the guitar sound-scapes of Andy Summers, the reggae bass lines and unmistakable high-pitched wail of Sting. From their 1978 breakthrough album “Outlandous D’Amour” through 1983’s swan song “Synchronicity”, The Police constantly bridged elements of various music styles, blending reggae with punk, jazz, funk and rock, and made a sound all their own. No one sounded like the Police…
…until now.
When you hear STUNG perform their stunning re-creations of The Police’s amazing collection of songs, re-creations of the music by drummer Drew Cueva and guitarist Doug Ott, and the dead-on wail of singer/bassist Brooks “Bee” Lundy, audiences sing along to many of their favorite Police songs, reveling in the old gems and re-discovering the many B-sides that groove. From early Police hits like “Roxanne” and “So Lonely”, to chart toppers like “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”, “Every Breath You Take” and “King of Pain”, all those elements are there; the hyper-syncopated rhythm, the dreamy, ethereal guitar, the high pitched wail…you can close your eyes and forget, for a moment, that it is NOT the Police…and then you’ve been STUNG!!!
So come and see for yourself. Come and get STUNG!!!
