I'd summerize my situation like this...
I'm in 1 band and have 3 side projects in the works..
Band:
Bravado.
We are a Rush tribute band. (Yes, I'm Alex). We play fairly regulary in the summer months, but have been on a bit of a hiatus for the last three months, but we still play together about once every two weeks just to stay tight. Our first booked gig for '06 in in June. We play all the "Hits" (Tom Sawyer, The Trees, etc), but dig deeper as well and play some lesser known cuts that are really good (Animate, Bravado, The Pass, YYZ, Leave That Thing Alone...)
