Rival Schools
That’s right. I said it. But if you’re thinking of the video game - you are sadly mistaken. The RIVAL SCHOOLS are back and their fans are hungry. The first and last time I saw RS was during my early high school years when Birch Hill (in Old Bridge,NJ) was still open and not a home for the elders (boohoo-very sad time in my teenage life). Since then, Walter Schreifels (singer) started a band called Walking Concert. Me and my mom are hardcore Walter fans so we tracked down WC and saw them at the Sin E in NYC (very awesome place to be because of me being a huge Jeff Buckley fan - he used to play there weekly while he was still alive…) as well as Maxwells. Not that we don’t love WC, we just really miss Rival Schools. And I hope you do too.
Here’s where they’re going to be so far:
Oct 9 - The Echo Echo Park, California
Oct 10 - Brick By Brick San Diego, California
Oct 11 - Lisk Fest @ Oak Canyon Ranch Irvine, California
Oct 12 - Bottom Of The Hill San Fransisco, California
Nov 4 - Maxwell’s, Hoboken, NJ
Nov 6 - Mercury Lounge, NYC
And of course I shall be at the Maxwells show because Maxwells is my most favorite place 
…and maybe the Mercury Lounge… if I can afford it… hmph.
