Quicksand Remedy - Funk Rock Trio
Quicksand Remedy - Funk Rock Trio Bio:

After several years of falling in an out of the musical projects, Chris Southern (Suth), John Skillington (Skilly) and Jose Luis Selaya (Pepe) suddenly and unexpectedly found each other in the most unlikely place: a call centre office in a suburb of Barcelona, Spain in the Summer of 2006. All three had enjoyed and toiled with previous bands, and were not really quite sure they wanted to go back!

However, a chemistry developed between the three who had similar but also completely differing views of musical taste and direction. Locked away in an underground studio in Barcelona’s San Andreu district they began to compose music that was dark and intense but also with real groove and melody. In May 2007, armed with a host of new songs and the belief that they had created something special, Quicksand Remedy took to the stage for the first time.

In the Summer of 2007, Quicksand Remedy completed a handful of gigs around Barcelona, and entered the studio late October to record their first single. The first single, a Double A side featuring 'Tribute’ and ‘Nothing Compared to You' was recorded at Wheel Sound Studio in Cerdanyola. 'Nothing Compared to You' is an anthemic, rock singalong with a funky twist that had already become a live favourite. 'Tribute' is a dark subject matter encapsulated in an energetic, rhythmic and uplifting groove.

In the late autumn of 2007, Pepe announced that he would leave Quicksand Remedy. Enter Diego Olschansky from Buenos Aires, who became the bass player with Quicksand Remedy in December 2007. Diego has quickly adapted his talent and creativity to the sound and the band are more excited than ever for people to hear it! Quicksand Remedy will continue to write new material and play concerts in 2008 and enter the recording studio’s again in February. The second single will again be produced by Txosse at Wheel Sound Studio.

Quicksand Remedy is Suth (Guitar/Voice) from Liverpool, UK, Skilly (Drums) from Cork, Ireland and Diego (Bass, Voice) from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
