Holy CARP.
I just got an e-mail about this and my mind is now blown. Quicksand played on Fallon last night and did 2 songs from "Slip" (Omission and Fazer). They sounded damn good (albeit toned-down a bit from their heyday).

These dudes came out about 5 years too early. Astonishing that they never blew up. This music was way ahead of its time, IMHO.
WHAT!?!? Yeah, it's weird how many of those bands do mini-tours. I have the "songkick" app on my phone. It looks at my ipod and tells me when any band in there goes on tour. They're playing at the Bowery tonight.
I wouldn't consider them punk or hardcore but it's awesome that they have been performing again.
For you vinyl fans, they are re-releasing Slip next month.

Well, one can easily argue that Walter Shriefels is a hardcore legend with his pedigree. Most hardcore fans I know dig Quicksand. :)
For fans of the genre who don't already know, OFF! (Ex-Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Red Cross, Rocket from the Crypt, etc, etc) is touring with Negative Approach, The Spits, Double Negative, and Power Trip.
I've seen OFF! 3 times in the past couple years, and they're really, really great. It's like seeing the perfect 1984 HC band, and it's not "retro" 'cause they're all from then.

D'oh. Not to this end of the country.
The Spits are awesome.
