Ex-Quicksand solo material

Former Quicksand bassist Sergio Vega, who filled in for Deftones bassist Chi Cheng on tour (Chi hurt his toe) in early '99, has recorded a solo EP, "The Ray Martin Sessions," for new New York independent, GrapeOS. The EP features contributions from ex-Helmet guitarist Chris Traynor, but reportedly doesn't sound much like Quicksand or any form of heavy music for that matter. Sergio says "The only people who have been, like, 'I don't get it,' are people who were just really about the metal end of Quicksand."
