SONIC SAINTS: News

For anyone who's been wondering why the Sonic Saints haven't been making much noise lately, it's because we've been in the studio working on a new album. Keep checking the website during the coming months for updates.

We want to thank all the people at COOK's Cafe in Naugatuck for a great show, Friday. The audience was obviously digging it and we had a great time as well. And evem though I'm sure you'll see us there again in the near future, feel free to call Mark Cook and tell him you demand more of the SONIC SAINTS!

Sonics Saints will be featured as the CT Homegrown band on 106.9 WCCC all week long. Listen in around 11 PM each night this week to hear a few songs off our self titled album as well as interviews with the band.

We have spent the last couple of months playing shows, networking with fans and other bands, and doing our best to bring the best rock music to the masses. If we haven't seen you at one of our shows then what the hell our you waiting for!?

The Sonic Saints web site logged in over 2600 visitors during the month of January, our highest total to date. Along with our ever increasing in popularity myspace page, we at the Sonic Saints our well on our way to our goal of world domination... eh ... shit... I mean world wide web domination... I may have said too much.

A thanks to everyone who came out to Side Street to see us Saturday night. The crowd was interesting, including some hecklers who were fans by the end of the night. And we were LOUD!! My ears were still ringing the next day.

We kicked the shit out of the place on Wednesday before Thanksgiving! We powered through a blistering set of covers and originals that left the place wanting more, and left all the ladies a little weak in the knees. Our Booking Director will be contacting the owner to see when he would like an encore so stay tuned!

The Sonic Saints have hired a new Director of Scheduling in Jennifer Hallinan. Her duties will include booking gigs for CT's best band! So we can only hope that she is successful so that we can begin our quest of saving the state from worthless music.

After months of rehearsals the Sonic Saints will be unleashed yet again with a set list hours long so we can stop being an opening act and start headlining! With an array of originals and covers the Saints will light up CT come the fall so pay attention!!

Due to ghosts in the machine and crazies in the world, all our photos have disappeared. But not to worry we'll shoot more soon and have our ugly mugs back on the web and ready for all to see in the not too distant future.

The Sonic Saints will be at the Dave Matthew Shows in Hartford the weekend of July 28. We'll be in the parking lots pressing flesh and passing out demo CD's so come by and say hi. I personally won't be going into the show, I'd rather see Gov't Mule tan DMB, but you can bet Dan the "Bass Man" Bianchini will be in attendence.

Due to my trip to Italy, if you have a chance to go to Venice I highly advise it, the Sonic Saints took a brief layover, but I'm back and ready to roll. We'll whip the set list into shape and you can expect us out and playing again soon! I might even have a new song or two up my sleeve.

We here in Sonic Saint land would like to thank the staff at the New Haven Advocate for taking the time to listen to and review our debut album. So pick up the Advocate and see what the critics say!

Our St. Patty's day show at Snookers was a blast and we enjoyed the hell out of playing for a crowd that was into what we were doing. Also, its always a good time when we play with our hosts Funnel!

The Sonic Saints have decided to drastically lengthen ther repetiore. In a couple of short months look for us to be headling bars and clubs all over CT with an arsenal that will include all our originals plus some of the best covers in the state.

Since the Sonic Saints website was first published in late December we have logged over 700 visitors! Thanks for all the support and keep checking in for what's new in the Sonic Saints Universe.

The first track of the the Sonic Saints debut album will be featured on the local bands show on 99.1 WPLR on Sunday, February 5. The name of the track is "Side to Side." The Radio show starts at 10:00pm. Be sure to flood the station with calls requesting more of the Sonic Saints!

Last night's show at Cocktails on the Green went great! The Saints blew people away with their brand of rock and then Funnel got the place jumpin. The show was a benefit for the late Berlin firefighter Joe Manzi, and a lot of money for a scholarship was raised.

Turns out Feb 2 at the space will not be our first show, because we will be playing a benefit at Cocktails on the Green in Cromwell on Saturday, Jan 28. See the concert listing on our calender page or visit our buddies Funnel at funnelrocks.com for details.

Come check out the Sonic Saints play their first show Thursday, Feb 2nd 2006 at The Space in Hamden
