Bush to Play Concert at Stage AE (Sun., 11/26/23)

Did Bush start out as a grunge band, or were they post-grunge, and have they become something else since their 2002 breakup and 2010 reincarnation—or what? Genre identities matter to some people, because they’re tied to cultural and aesthetic identities, which is why they’ve been debated ever since Edgar Degas painted impressionistic pictures and exhibited with the impressionists while angrily insisting that he wasn’t an impressionist. But the facts on Bush are as follows: Their landmark 1994 album Sixteen Stone went multi-platinum and still hits home—especially on tracks like “Everything Zen” with its iconic, ironic “I don’t think so” refrain. Their latest studio album is last year’s aptly titled The Art of Survival. Gavin Rossdale, cofounder and lead singer of Bush, still fronts the band. And they’re on tap to hard-rock Stage AE as part of their Nowhere To Go But Everywhere Tour. With Bad Wolves and Eva Under Fire. 400 North Shore Dr., North Shore. (M.V.)
