I Just Wanna Know
Sonic Orchid features strong, solid, female vocals and guitar-driven melodic rock, pop-metal. Lead singer, Christina, fuels the group with her siren-like vocals, having the ability to reach into gritty and powerful inflections to soft, sweet and sultry colors. Lead guitarist, Brad, is compared to the likes of virtuosos Joe Satriani and Neil Schonn.
Based in Regina, Saskatchewan, this 4-piece group originated as a cover band in 2002, mimicking the musical styles and on-stage intensity of hard rockers Judas Priest, ACDC and Guns n Roses. Having a female lead singer gave this group a unique twist in executing these hard rock artists. Yet songwriting quickly developed amongst the group; the group's main focus is to build it's spot as a recording and touring act.
The group's influences are wide and are rooted in some of the forerunners of rock. Assuming the worldly messages of Journey, adopting the soulful sounds of Led Zeppelin, giving a hint of heavy Iron Maiden and incorporating the modern sounds of Lacuna Coil, the group's music covers a wide range of styles. Coupling classic rock with melodic pop-metal, Sonic Orchid appeals to listeners of all ages.
Sonic Orchid has managed and promoted themselves, creating a buzz successfully on their own, performing in various venues and festivals around Western Canada, and through internet marketing/networking, community/campus and internet radio. The group's EP, released in 2005, has sold a substantial number of units simply through live shows. The new CD, entitled Love and War, released in May of 2008, is receiving positive feedback from both fans and music industry professionals. Both Cds are available on CD Baby and Apple iTunes Music Store.
Sonic Orchid is presently being played on many internet and community/campus radio stations, and has gained much media exposure through print, radio and TV.
Convincing musicality, captivating stage personalities and an energetic, easy on the eyes balls to the wall rock show is driven by a raw intensity fueled by passion.

Hey, thanks for dropping a note on my page, Chris . . . sorry I couldn't make the McNally's gig, was working late. Nathan said it was a good time . . and apparently Blab was there, too, blowing bubbles!!
I'm sorry about that I must have passed you the wrong one.
That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all angry because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like tickets and stuff instead of money.
But anyways, the working site is
R E A D Y 1 2 . C O M
it's the one I am cashing $900 a week with putting in about 22 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm motivated.
After you get your membership make sure you sign up with with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay the big bucks, I got $50 for one that took me 50 minutes today. You'll see what I'm talking about when you get in there.
Megan started taking them too and she's making $900 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.
Alright well me and Tom are getting ready to leave now, just give me a call or I'll meet you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership. bye now

Just stopping by to say I enjoyed your gig at the Drink last Friday - especially loved your Journey cover of "Separate Ways" . . . I'm guessing that was Brad's suggestion - nice cover! Good to see Beck in the house, too.
