Rush fans in Western New York — this one is worth clearing your Saturday for.
YYNOT, the New Jersey-based Rush tribute act with over a decade of road time behind them, plays Buffalo Iron Works on Saturday, June 13 at 8:00 PM. If you have been hunting for a live Rush experience since the band retired, YYNOT is consistently the name that comes up in that conversation.
About YYNOT
YYNOT has been at this for 10-plus years, and it shows in how they approach the material. The Wayne, NJ four-piece — Adi Argelazi on vocals, Billy Alexander on guitar and keys, Tim Starace on bass and keys, and Mike Hetzel on drums — plays Rush with the kind of detail-oriented commitment that Rush fans demand and that casual listeners can actually feel. Their documented setlists pull from across Rush’s catalog: Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio, Freewill, Subdivisions, La Villa Strangiato, and more. The band has also released three albums of original material — YYNOT, Resonance, and Light and Shade — but their live show is built around Rush, front to back.
Seventy-five documented shows since 2018 tells you what you need to know about how seriously they take this. This is a working tribute act that has put in the miles.
The Venue
Buffalo Iron Works is a Buffalo rock and indie staple — a mid-sized club that books the kind of acts you actually want to see. It is the right room for a band like YYNOT: a crowd that showed up specifically for Rush, in a space built for exactly this kind of night.
