An Old Song Gets a New Beat

14 December, 2009

Last week Rush’s Neil Peart recorded a fresh take on the ‘Hockey Night in Canada’ theme song — ‘Canada’s second national anthem’ — which TSN purchased the rights to last year. The re-recording took place last Monday in Hollywood, where Peart lives.  According to Sabian, Peart’s cymbals’ source, “He arranged a drum part that is distinctly Peart [...]

The Zambonis on CNN

21 December, 2008

In May of this year, I got to meet Dave Zamboni of North America’s favorite All-Hockey Band The Zambonis. Never mind the fact that Dave is a really cool guy — he has a collection of hockey organs, I mean how cool is that –

For Those Who Still Rock, We Salute You

16 November, 2008

One of the best hockey arena songs ever written is now 18 years old: “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC. 1990’s The Razors Edge yielded the aforementioned classic along with “Moneytalks” and the album’s dark, driving title track; it’s an uneven album, but it is “Thunderstruck” that hockey fans who weren’t yet born when it was recorded know [...]

On the Road Again for Rock

17 July, 2008

I’m in Hershey amid some Bears’ hard-rockers for the Rush concert in Hershey Stadium tonight. I’ve had good sport with DC Sports Chick the past 24 hours, whose Canuck husband wanted to name their first child Geddy (irrespective of gender) but who herself would prefer a life free of any more Spirit of the Radio.

Rush Rocks Red Rocks

29 June, 2008

This week I made a what I regarded as a sacred pilgrimage to see my favorite rock band. You could say that Rush’s Geddy Lee gave a star performance at Red Rocks this week, but as is the case with each event at the Rocks, the venue is always the evening’s first star.
It was my [...]

Fight Cancer with Hockey, Cake, The Zambonis, and More

18 April, 2008

My friend Jay not only has a cool job, he knows cool people, too. He recently introduced me to Dave Zamboni who is described by Jay as “the free-skating guitar-man / defenseman for the ultra hip hockey rockers The Zambonis.” Speaking with Dave, he told me about a great event coming to our area in [...]
