Hey people, just a quick one to let y’alls know that VR will be rockin out at the waterfront acoustic-style this coming Sunday night, together with WMUM pals the Fire Fight.

Come catch a whole bunch of re-worked originals and our favourite cover songs.

And remember, when VR play acoustic, we never play it the same way twice! But mainly because we forgot how we did it the last time…

We’re on at 7.30pm, and the Fire Fight are on at 8.45pm. For more info on the 22 Feb show, as well as the other shows happening in this weekend’s series, check out the event page at http://www.goodenglish.org.sg/site/index.php?option=com_events&task=view_detail&agid=135&year=2009&month=02&day=20&Itemid=4

We’re still aching all over! But our mummies are proud that we FINALLY got onto television!

TODAY Newspaper review by Christopher Toh (18 Dec 2008)

“Of Real Dreams has to be one of the better releases we’ve heard this year… ranks together with Electrico’s and Shirlyn Tan’s debuts as a bright example of Singapore’s pop-rock sensibilities”

POWER OF POP review of Vertical Rush album launch concert.
by Sherwin Tay and Kevin Matthews

“I have yet to leave a Vertical Rush show disappointed, tonight was no exception. The caliber of musicality and showmanship was impeccable, as has come to be expected from these seasoned veterans… this was easily one of the most memorable shows in recent memory that I’ve had the privilege of attending… After years of watching VR grow into the tour de force that they are now, I am still amazed by their consistent level of all-encompassing musicianship.” (Sherwin Tay)

“VR was able to connect with the audience in ways seldom seen in our scene… I think its time for the scene to mature and VR has certainly pointed the way.” (Kevin Matthews)
