And beginnings are dangerous in the best way.    Under the creative leadership of CEO Michelle Cho and A&R visionary Joseph Lim, 1VERSE stepped onto an American stage not as a test run, but as a fully realized statement of intent. From the first note, it was clear this was not a group chasing noise. They are building architecture.

Not a metaphor. The real thing.

Bush performed a sold-out solo show at the Wind Creek Events Center on Friday February 20th. The venue had an open pit floor and raised seated sections to each side; there were so many fans in the pit that it overflowed into the concession area behind the venue floor.
