Anthology Recordings has announced the immediate availability of Walter Schreifels' post-Gorilla Biscuits project, Moondog. The short lived band was formed in 1989 and Walter explains:

I started Moondog in the spring of 1989 because I wanted to sing for a band. Playing guitar and writing songs for Gorilla Biscuits had always been fun but after a while I wanted to be doing something more.

The initial inspiration came from a demo vocal I laid down for "Start Today", Gorilla Biscuits full-length album. It felt good to be singing the words I had written. As the tape of my performance got around, I was encouraged by the compliments I got from friends who had heard it.

The studio version of the band included Gorilla Biscuits drummer Luke Abbey. After the recording, Walter assembled Tom Capone on guitar, friend Howie on second guitar, Luke Abbey on Bass and Arman Majidi (of Sick Of It All fame) on drums to play Moondog's first (and only) show at CBGB's. Once the unit started playing together, Schriefels decided Moondog wasn't a fitting name and they changed it to Quicksand (Luke was replaced by Alan Cage and Sergio Vega was recruited on Bass).
