Founded nearly 5 years ago by songwriter/guitarist RAS, QWIKSAND is a melting pot of life experience, passion and heart. With songs about drama free good vibes, chilling with beautiful souls, and living life to the fullest, QWIKSAND has continued to build a following across the country with a fresh California sound that makes you feel alive. Why would fans drive across a state to catch a show? Why did the king and queen of Sweden come to see QWIKSAND perform at the House of Blues in Los Angeles? Ask the band and they just might tell you, ?we are here to make you feel good... so get up and dance!?
Over the past 12 months, QWIKSAND has toured through 50 US cities, won a 2008 Battle of the Bands for Orange County and was placed in international surf films and videos. In addition to national reviews, press coverage, interviews, television appearances, QWIKSAND has risen to the top of the charts nationwide on Alternative, AAA, Hot AC commercial and college radio stations with airplay in over 200 cities throughout the US, Canada and UK. The band has continued to crossover at (college, festival, age 21+, all age) venues across the western and midwest regions, and is now booking national tour dates registered with Pollstar.
