Bands confirmed so far for the upcoming "Chalksounds V/A Vol 1" compilation from Chalksounds records: Moonbabies, Starmarket, Alarma Man, The End Will Be Kicks, The Je Ne Sais Quoi, KVLR, Park Hotel, Ellis the Vaccuumchild and The Crystal Committee. Look for it in the spring.

Chalksounds, one of my favorite Swedish labels, has announced the release schedule for the first half of next year. Of course, as mentioned before, The Moonbabies's new record "The Orange Billboard" is coming in January and is sure to amaze your ears. Next will be KVLR's new single "Slow Clapping" in limited 7" form. There's also a forthcoming album from ex-Him Kerosene band The End Will Be Kicks which is highly anticipated as well as a compilation CD featuring a whole bunch of acts, not all from the Chalksounds label. Label head Magnus told me a few of the acts he's gotten confirmed so far, but he's stubborn and doesn't want everyone to know yet so I guess I'll keep my mouth shut. For now.

Chalksounds Fest #3 is now confirmed for December 26 at Studion in Umeå, Sweden. Appearing live will be The Moonbabies and the live debut of The End Will Be Kicks (ex-Him Kerosene). Tickets are 100 Skr and can be bought in Umeå at Burmans Musik or you can email Chalksounds to make other other arrangements. More details can be found at the microsite when it goes online.
