(Atlantic Records) Rush will make a very rare national television appearance on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" on Wednesday, July 16th at 11:30pm ET/PT. The band will be performing their timeless hit, "Tom Sawyer." Eschewing these types of opportunities for most of their career, the band made an exception for the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy-nominated show. It is the renowned rock trio's first television appearance since 1975.
Rush are currently wrapping up the latest leg of their highly successful "Snakes & Arrow Live Tour." The tour kicked off in April, simultaneously with the release of "SNAKES & ARROWS LIVE," a double-CD recorded last October at the Netherlands' Ahoy Rotterdam arena during the band's lengthy world tour. That five-month trek celebrated Rush's acclaimed 2007 studio release, "SNAKES & ARROWS," which includes the Grammy Award-nominated track, "Malignant Narcissism."
