ALTERNATIVE ROCK - QWIKSAND
   
 

 

 

 

"If Shaft was living in southern California and he invited Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix over for dinner, Orange County quartet QWIKSAND would make a groovy side-dish. QWIKSAND are no stranger to party's, especially when it comes to spreading positive vibes with their music. When guitarist Ras, wrote "Concrete Cowboy" about draining and skating a backyard pool while his neighbor was on vacation, little did the band know that in less than 2 years, QWIKSAND would be packing shows across the western region with hundreds of radio stations now behind them. With captivating live performances and a unique and original sound that mixes surf, funk, reggae, rock, QWIKSAND has continued to grow in popularity earning the love, support and respect of fans across the US while gathering solid reviews, national charting, interviews, press coverage, television appearances, film soundtracks, and airplay on Alternative, AAA, Hot AC Commercial and College radio stations in over 200 cities throughout the US, Canada and UK. The band was originally formed in 2003 and was named QWIKSAND to honor those who've drowned surfing a dangerous wave called the "Wedge" in Newport Beach California. Drummer Chuy Vidales, bassist Erim Kardes and vocalist Terry Sahale have now joined original guitarist/songwriter R.A.S. to take the group to new heights.

QWIKSAND hits the road in November 2007 on a national US tour to support the release of their new CD "Liquid Dream" now on sale @ iTunes.com. New singles “One Arm Marsupial” and “Liquid Dream” by QWIKSAND made Top100 for new alternative music for the 13th week in a row on Clear Channel.com. Both tracks available from QWIKSAND's new album titled "Liquid Dream" feature work with grammy award-winning producer Wyn Davis (Sublime, No Doubt) and engineer Dave Collins (Ben Harper, Jack Johnson). QWIKSAND's Liquid Dream Music Video recently became the Top 2 rated Indie video featured on MTV2.com sponsored by Mountain Dew. QWIKSAND's title track "Liquid Dream" also appeared this summer in the international surf film release produced by Robert August (Star of Endless Summer) in theaters across Australia, Europe, Japan, North America and South America. Over the past 2 years QWIKSAND has continued to generate buzz from crossover success at (Age 21+/College/All Age) venues across the western US region, and Fast Lane International is now accepting offers for national tour dates registered with Pollstar.
