Every so often I check to see if the 'Rival Schools' website has been resurrected. Maybe they forgot to pay their hosting provider? Maybe some rogue 9-year old from Japan went and squatted their namespace in the short window of it becoming available, and he/she is holding it ransom for Pepsi and a cure for lactose-intolerance? I don't know...but those are reasonable guesses in my opinion.
So if you go to www.rivalschoolsunite.com it is now just a blank site. Nothing at all. When I see that, I'm motivated to find the members of the band. It's happening a lot more lately. Bands dissolve, and the quest is on! Must find the former members and find out what new project their working on! Must support!
And I found that today....even though I'm completely late as usual. (I'd love to actually find a project/band right when the concept is thought of....and not find it a year after they start touring, produced 2 CD's and are on to a Remix/B-sides album.) I looked around the web for Walter Schreifels....former founder/guitarist/bassist/vocalist/producer for bands that I listened to early on, like Gorilla Biscuits, CIV, Youth of Today, Quicksand...and most recently Rival Schools. I found what I wanted. A guy put up a website dedicated to Walter Schreifels, and the quest to find out what he's up to nowadays....here it is --> www.unitedbywalter.com --> it's a good site! Why can't a site be published for every mystery musician that hasn't posted what they're up to for longer than 6 to 8 months?? Is that too much to ask?? I guess it might be...gotta give the peeps a break and some privacy.
So, through the United By Walter website, I found his new project, 'Walking Concert' -- and of course I just missed their Cleveland date @ the Grog - Dec. 6th. www.walkingconcert.com
