Rogue Wave and Rush

[Rogue Wave 'Descended Like Vultures' on The Opolis]

Pat Spurgeon, drummer for Oakland CA indie rock band Rogue Wave had this to say about Rush in a recent interview with the Edmond Sun:

... Spurgeon also likes to indulge in a private guilty pleasure: He admits to going to a Rush concert where the band played the songs exactly the way they sounded on the album.

"You have these songs that were burned into your brain by the radio - I can't imagine them reinterpreting something like 'Tom Sawyer,'" Spurgeon said. "Some bands can interpret the sounds live exactly, and that can be cool but not too many bands can do that." ...

I think it's a compliment. :)
