“Hot Rock Just Fun For This Foursomeâ€
Gerry Krockak, Leader Post, Regina, Sask.
“Guitars and sex will always have their place in rock and roll. Sonic Orchid is working hard to ensure that
its repertoire will be at least as hot as the group’s steamy frontwoman. Tunes such as ‘Shoot and Run’ and ‘I Just Wanna Know’ are fueled by the siren-like vocals of Gasparic.â€
“Rock Tall And Carry A Big Shtickâ€
Prairie Dog, Regina, Sask.
“Hard rocking Queen City quintet rattles the rafters at the Exchange. Sonic Orchid’s own material is stylistically reminiscent of The Cult and Led Zeppelin.â€
“Band Offers Sweaty, Sexy Rockâ€
The Star Phoenix, Saskatoon, Sask.
“Sonic Orchid really knows how to whip up an audience. With a delicious blend of kick-ass rock and raw, steamy sex appeal, Sonic Orchid is intense and is guaranteed to keep you primed. Frontwoman Chris Gasparic is no wall flower, playing guitar and commanding respect with her stage persona.â€
“Wow , funny, I just played crazy Lidia in my new show it will be up in 30 -
45 min.....love the song:)â€
