CRUSH performed in Carson City at The Venue Friday night with Ryan Parker & Phasmo. CRUSH did old song, songs from their current album New World and some not yet released songs! There were more people than the last time they played there but there still needs to be more! CRUSH had friends, family and some fans from Reno show up and also made some new fans as well. The boys got a lot of nice comments after and during their performance from some of their faithful fans and some new comers! Carson seemed to really liked the fact that they came back, let’s hope they will be back again!
