Quicksand / Rival Schools

[bobbie solo]

You checking out any of the Rival Schools shows this weekend? I saw them last night in Garwood. Sounded great with the original lineup, played United By Fate in full.

I could not make that show sadly. I had No Pressure/Koyo/Fleshwater the next night, then Superheaven/Cloakroom the night after that. Too many showssss.

I bet we'll see more Rival Schools shows later this year. Sucks though, b/c Crossroads is a perfect venue. Gonna try and make the Braid & Snapcase shows in July.

Side note: I caught Narrow Head a week ago at Mercury Lounge. They had opened a Quicksand tour a few years ago & that's when I got into them. They finish their set & everyone is shuffling back out of the venue...and who do I see? Walter. He's talking in hushed tones but also demonstrably one of the guitarists for NH. Seemed like he was giving him pointers. He had a grin on his face, so it was def. a good interaction. So awesome to see...Walter is just that dude. Literal legend of the scene, yet comes out on a Monday to support one of his openers that are more than half his age.

Walter is just so incredibly nice. Elder statesman but doesn't take himself too seriously. I said hello / thanks after the set and asked if he'd bring Quicksand back to Crossroads and he replied with an "oh yeah".
