Title: Gorilla Biscuits/Quicksand/Rival Schools
Post by: vansmack on October 09, 2006, 02:04:00 pm

I received a new email from Walter Schriefels that I thought I would pass on.  After the interview he performed:
 
 'Audrey' (Walking Concert)
 'Undercovers On' (Rival Schools)
 'Dine Alone' (Quicksand)
 'Going Camping' (Solo )
 'Start Today' (Gorilla Biscuits)
 'High Hopes' (Gorilla Biscuits)
 'Open Letter' (Solo)
 'Depressed Friends' (Solo)
 'Thorn In My Side' (Quicksand)

 Hi there, I'm writting to let you know that I did a really fun and cool thing. I performed and was interviewed on "The Interface" which is a great internet radio show presented by AOL.
 
 I perfomed a bunch of songs, old and new and spoke on a bunch of interesting
 
 topics. The band before me was The Racontours and Cat Power showed up right after, about right, staying classy.
 
 The address is  http://music.aol.com/artists/the-interface/walter-schreifels (http://music.aol.com/artists/the-interface/walter-schreifels)
 
 The host of the show told me he has been listening to my performance pretty much non-stop so I figure it must be damn good.
 
 hope you are well.
 
 thanks,
 w

Ah, to hear Rival Schools again. And Quicksand... I forgot you were the big Walter fan on here. If only he didn't have band ADD.

Be serious.  GB we're certainly more than a few cuts above their contemporaries, and Quicksand and Rival Schools both good bands if that's your thing, but a genius?  He gets serious extra points for naming an EP after Arthur Lee (and I like the Lullaby for Arthur Lee tune), but a genius?  I don't think so.

We went to the GB Ottobar show. Mr. Nietzsche is a huge fan and I had heard of them, but didn't know any of their songs. I enjoyed myself anyway. The energy was great, and the pit extended about 2/3 of the way to the back.

A web site recently put up a list of every song that Walter has ever written or played on (it's a lot).
