“Mood Lifters - A Tribute to Rush” is a Southern California Rush Tribute Band formed in 2021. The band’s focus is on the faithful recreation and performance of songs from all eras of Rush’s career, “from first to last.” Every song is on the table, and the band performs the classics and deep cuts with tremendous energy and care.
Mood Lifters are:
Rocky Kuner - vocals;
Isamu Kakitani - bass guitar, keyboards, pedals;
Ben King -- guitar;
Mat Miranda -- drums & percussion.
Each of the Mood Lifters is a lifelong fan of Rush and has played Rush’s music in other Rush tribute bands or otherwise.

Rocky!
Guitar work here is unbelievable! This is unmatched by anyone other than Alex. I'm just a lowly drummer but even i can recognize guitar brilliance.
Giving some love to one of Rush's most underappreciated songs. And doing a great rendition of it too. Ben King nailed the tricky solo, and I loved Rocky doing the "whoa" (my favorite part of the song, actually). Just so no one feels left out -- Isamu and Mat are virtuosos themselves. Rush is tough music to cover, and you all nail it song after song.
I love that you do songs that others don't. You sound great!
Great!!!
Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow. Amazing!!! Nice to see Rocky back in business :)
Awesome group! Nice and clean. Please try to tour on the EAST Coast!!
Hearing this again for the first time 36 years later I recognize the real thing That comes along once in a while 👍👍👍👍

and failed to mention that the lyrics to this particular Rush track are lyrics that I’ve carried with me over decades of time and still ring true…particularly the style over substance metaphor, and it gets a bit worse with each generation as we seldom take the time to process more than a TikTok video’s length of dialogue without forming shallow opinions based on a very narrow thesis. A to B…different degrees…
Is that Rocky! Great version

Rocky's professionally trained voice shines no matter what she sings.
I learned this song the day I snapped a plastic off the album now you know it better than me now I'm mad at you good job keep up the good work
excellent cover of a very good Rush forgotten song
Great Job! Nice detail!
Respect to your singer and respect to the band and respect that they didn't fail the most difficult outro ever in my opinion
Great job! Magnificent! Rocky rules! ✌️🎸💚
I'm so happy to see Rocky back and singing Rush songs. Mood Lifters is a good Rush cover band.
INCREDIBLE! BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! Gave me chills throughout! CONGRATULATIONS on landing that gig! 👍
So I just played this loud again several times in the house with the Subwoofer on and I have to say, I need to travel out from Chicago to see you all play this live very soon ! Rocky you were absolutely AWESOME on vocals for this ! I love your tone and vibrato you give to this one. Please keep this one in your setlist. Great job Mood Lifters !

Awesome performance. This band is great!!
Wow how did I not know about this? Became a fan of Rocky with the last band... after she was gone??? Still a great band but my appreciation was mainly for Rocky.
Rad. I'm local and just discovered you guys. You're paying homage to Rush the way it should. Not an easy task. Do you guys play any of these tunes? Oh, I'd be so happy. I think these are so underrated and it's a shame Rush didn't play them much. I'll check you out next show.

Thanks Vorgaloth! We have played Afterimage. RTB and Mystic Rhythms (see our KZread channel for vids of each of those, albeit with our former singer!). Our bassist/guitarist performed most of the others in their prior Rush trib, Xanadoodz. We are gradually adding new songs from all Rush eras, and many of these will be heard at future shows!
It’s like a version the Bangels might have done if they wrote it in the 80’s. Very cool vibe about it.
Not an easy tune to replicate. Kudos
Love it. "Mission", too, would suit you very well, for obvious reasons.

That was absolutely FANTASTIC! That voice. Every musician did this song justice. Again tho, that voice.

@@trenken Yep, Geddy is no easy task for sure, but Rocky is so well suited for it. Her ability to sing in his range gives her the freedom beyond just hitting the notes - she conveys the meanings of the songs the way Rush intended, and its moving.
Awesome!!

I’ve seen Rush twice in my life. The latest was at the MGM in Las Vegas in 2007 or somewhere around that time. One of the best rock bands I’ve ever seen
Some of the more complex Rush songs were from this era. Nobody else attempts these songs for a reason. Wonderful job!!
Great job rocky ❤
Absolutely flawless performance.

Hey all, GREAT job on this one ! Wish I could check out the whole show. Well shot and recorded. Rocky, outstanding capturing the spirit of the vocals here. You already have the higher-end on your vocals, but your control on your lower to mid register now is excellently notable giving you so much more to work with in your vocal presentation. Great vibrato in there too. Great job ! I enjoyed this performance.

Pretty groovy. Kudos to your synth programmer. Assembled a nice rendition. Original recording is swimming in synth and hard to reproduce. (curse you Peter Collins lol) Nice job
Great song choice and excellent performance. Not bad participation by the audience, that's about as much "dancing" you can expect. Although, New World Man, may be better to get those Rush fans moving and shaking. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Damn I love Rocky's voice! I don't understand the Pattyheads. Grueling the songs vs. pristine essence. "Some are mearly spaced" indeed. So nice to have a vid with such clear sound from the Mood Lifters - very well balanced and Rocky's vocs soar!

That’s too bad you can’t get over the fact that the two singers are just different. I love Rocky on all three CD’s. I’ve loved Patty since before YYNOT with her band the Mayhaps and her solo work on YT. I don’t really care whether you understand “Pattyheads” or not. The difference also comes in the form of stage presence. I’ll leave it at that. They both have completely different styles. BTW, the story behind the whole breakup is messy. I’ve got the whole email trail from start to finish. Sad affair.
Great song, that needs to be brought to crescendo strongly, great job, but work to bring it home a bit stronger
