Notes from the
show:
"Thanks to
all the Sonic Rush fans for coming out!!!! The word is
we have some new fans. We appreciate everyones support.
It's nice to see people enjoy the 80's arena rock music
as much as we do. I enjoyed playing Madison again. It's
been a few years since I've played here. The Dry Bean
crew is a great bunch of people to work for, even at
3:45a.m. Thanks again!! WE'LL BE BACK!!"
--Chris
"I would like
to thank The Dry Bean for having us out. Caroline, the
bar staff, and the bouncers were the absolute best to work
with. A very special thanks to the family, friends, and all
the SONIC RUSH FANS that came out to support us! Some
of you really put on the miles for this show and that is
truly awesome."
--Kurt
"One word to summarize
our debut appearance in Madison...AMAZING! According
to sources close to the Dry Bean, they've been really going
through a dry spell lately with nightly turnouts. For
a first-time Madison performance, expectations for a large
turnout were low.
Amazingly, turnout was
one of the best the Dry Bean has seen in quite awhile.
Finding a parking spot near the club proved to be a
challenge as cars were lined up down the nearby streets.
With virtually only word-of-mouth promotion, it was a really
special night for everyone. I was truly taken aback by
how many people came out to support us! Frequent Sonic
Rush supporter, Justin, brought with him a group of friends
ready to rock the night out with us. My sister,
Heather, arrived with 10-15 friends all the way from
Milwaukee. Although it might have been a tad loud for
my Dad, Cindy, Roger, Sharon, and uncle Jim...they still had
a great time watching us get our groove on. American
Eagle Ops agents, Wes (and his wife), Dolly, Lucy, Amy, and
Dawn arrived and rocked our world. Wes even joined us
on stage assisting in some awesome backup vocals for,
"Unchained". My longtime friend, Brian from the band,
Whiplash, also
joined us on stage playing bass guitar during "Crazy Train".
It was a pleasure to see that Tracy, Ben, and Casey from
Wisconsin Aviation made the trip to see us. Last, but
not least...Shelli's brother John was able to join us for a
much needed night out away from home.
The Dry Bean staff was
very cooperative in making sure we were comfortable.
The Dry Bean staff has already asked us to return before the
end of the year. If we can work some details out over
when and how much...you can bet that we'll be back.
Based on how much fun we had at the Dry Bean, returning to
Madison cannot happen soon enough! Thanks for an
awesome night of rock 'n roll! We'll see you again
soon!

Fan Reviews:
"Had a great time at the show. Sorry we had to take off
before you were finished. You guys sure know how to put
on a performance. It was awesome to finally jam again.
Chris's vocals were very strong at this show...AND, I
forgot to mention - your solo was very cool and as
always you rocked. Rock on!" -B
"My son's girlfriend and I
were putting up posters on Sat afternoon in Avoca and Lone
rock. Thought you might want to know that as we put up one
at a bar in Avoca about 4 guys looked to see who the poster
was of. Crystal said that one guy immediately commented "
that band is awesome!!!!!" I hope that helps to bring more
to Fubars. And I know it will make you all happy!!!!!!! Glad
to hear that kind of comment. Just wanted you to know what
kind of talk was around. Take care and if not before I will
definitely see you at Fubars." -Kathy
"Just a
quick note here to let you know we all enjoyed the show
Friday night. There were about 7-8 tunes that I recognized
enough to tell that your band is pretty darn good (and
plenty loud). You sure can play that guitar. The laser part
was the best. I don't think the kilt does much for it
though. Your sister Heather came up to me and introduced
herself around 11:00. We couldn't have much of a
conversation because you guys were playing (and plenty loud,
oh did I say that already) but she seemed very nice. Anyway,
we had a good time and you're good." -Dad
"Just
thought I'd let you know that I enjoyed your show! I can see
that you put lots of work into it. Great job on the guitar! I hope to attend another." -Cindy
"Roger and I had a
super time. Never knew you were hiding all of that
talent. Your guitar solo was awesome. I am so glad we
came to Madison...this was great!" -Sharon
"WOW! What a great performance. The energy of Sonic
Rush was infectious. The crowd was awesome and the
atmosphere at the bean electric. We had an
extremely enjoyable evening. Loved Greg’s guitar,
the group seems very tight. Keep on rockin’ - Jim
