According to Chilean newspaper La Tercera, there is a concrete plan to bring RUSH to Chile for the first time. Major multinational producer Major Agenda Tours revealed yesterday that the band signed a contract for the South American leg of their Time Machine tour and that the tentative date for landing in Santiago is late October.

According to Rushisaband.com, someone uploaded the clip below to YouTube claiming it is a demo of the new Rush single 'Caravan' which includes only the guitar part playing along to a drum loop:

Rush recently announced the upcoming release of their eagerly anticipated new single. 'Caravan' - which will be featured on the legendary band's forthcoming album, Clockwork Angels - will be available at all DSPs on June 1st and serviced to radio simultaneously.

'Caravan' will be bundled with an additional new album track, entitled 'BU2B'. Both tracks were recorded earlier this year in Nashville with Grammy Award-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz, who previously collaborated with Rush on 2007's critically acclaimed Snakes & Arrows. Rush will return to the studio to resume recording after the completion of the upcoming Time Machine Tour, with plans to release their 20th studio album, Clockwork Angels, in 2011.

The Time Machine Tour will begin June 29th at Albuquerque, New Mexico's Hard Rock Casino and then travel North America through early October (see below itinerary). The band is currently busy preparing for the tour, which include both 'Caravan' and 'BU2B' on each evening's setlist alongside other Rush favorites. In addition, the band will be performing its 1981 masterpiece, Moving Pictures, in its entirety for the first time ever. Both 'Caravan' and 'BU2B' will also be offered as a special Limited Edition CD single, available to fans through the band's official website as well as through various pre-sale tour packages.
