2112: The band hails from Lakewood Washington and specializes in the faithful recreation of the music of the legendary Canadian progressive rock band Rush.

KISS and Rush. Just saying those names, with one-syllable urgency and sexy implications, makes me excited.
To know there is a tribute show featuring these two rock legends at the Backstage Bar and Grill Friday makes me beyond excited - I'm talkin' butterflies with face paint and long hair headbang through my stomach excited. It's all-ages until 11 p.m. and free, which makes those butterflies start pumping their tiny little fists, too.
The Backstage show plays off the 1975 concert in which KISS and Rush shared the same stage at the Paramount in Seattle. Fast forward 37 years and Dr. Love (KISS tribute) and 2112 (Rush tribute) will take turns churning out classics and rocking the crowd for their first ever double-hitter performance in Tacoma.
"I'm looking forward to playing the songs I grew up on, in front of what we expect to be a nice energetic crowd," says Jason Flom, aka Ace Frehley. Flom says he excited to play with 2112 too.
"The first show (as Dr. Love) went over so well," he adds. "I know we're way better at this point and more comfortable up there in our make-up. It's gonna be a blast."
BACKSTAGE BAR AND GRILL, FRIDAY, NOV. 30, 9 P.M., NO COVER, 6409 SIXTH AVE., TACOMA, 253.564.0149
