Lisk Fest cancelled, new Rival Schools song & dates
by Black Bubblegum
Liskfest, aka the festival in Cali that Gorilla Biscuits was reuniting for, has been cancelled due to “poor ticket sales”. Rival Schools were supposed to play the fest too. Check out a new/unreleased track streaming at their myspace…
“Sweet” was on the vinyl version of United By Fate. I’m not sure now why it didn’t make the album because I really like it now (hindsight!). It’s very poppy and has a New Order-ish feel that is only hinted at on the rest of the record. The lyrics are about hidden relationships, there’s a lot of them, lyrics I mean. Anyhoo, while we’re getting our new stuff together and gearing up for our US shows thought this might be interesting for the page.
Both NYC-area Rival Schools shows are now sold out. Updated tour dates below…
