The Rust Show

When Carl and Brian Rust began sharing song ideas cross-country they had no idea it would lead to a new band and a new album. The Rust Show is the band and their debut album was entitled “Have a Nice Trip, See You Next Fall!” It consists of 14 songs that range from quiet acoustic folk, to piano driven ballads, to Indy alternative rock. They went on to make the albums “Unravels” and “Ominous Bus”.
Carl lives in Elkhart Indiana and Brian lives in Las Vegas Nevada. Carl is Brian’s uncle. They were in a band called Nine six eighT together in late 1990’s with Tim Hull and John Martin. They wrote a lot of songs and explored a lot of musical ideas, played some shows, but just drifted apart.
Carl and Brian continued to pursue music separately. In 2013 Carl was listening to some old practice tapes of Nine six eighT and came across a fragment of a song called “High and Tall”. He was intrigued by it and fleshed it out with a chorus, bridge and additional verse.
He sent it to Brian via the internet and Brian liked it. Brian sent Carl a song idea that ended up becoming “Yoo Hoo Ha Ha”. The process of sending ideas back and forth through the internet continued.

The Rust Show creates mystical landscapes of sound. Carl Rust and Brian Rust collaborate long distance sending tracks back and forth until they have sculpted something interesting and mysterious. Ranging from acoustic folk to experimental electronic, no genre or sound is ignored.
