Live report: Tack! Tack! Tack! @ Heavenly Social, London UK 10/24/05

Thanks to everyone who made it out to Tack! Tack! Tack! last night. I hear that things went quite well, so hopefully we'll be able to do many more of these shows. Don't forget that next month is already booked! November 14 - We Are Soldiers We Have Guns, The Lovekevins and The Fine Arts Showcase at the Heavenly Social (W1). Be there!

The Fine Arts Showcase (Gustaf Kjellvander) has revamped their website: http://www.thefineartsshowcase.se/
If you become a member, there are goodies that await you in the media section.

Adrian Records finally issued an official confirmation of the signing of Gustaf Kjellvander and his solo act The Fine Arts Showcase. Astute readers will note that I first posted about it a month ago. The forthcoming album "Radiola" will be mixed in October and the first single should be out in November.

Gustaf Kjellvander has signed with Adrian Recordings after one album on Startracks with his band The Fine Arts Showcase. He's moving to England next week, but will be back in Sweden soon to record a new album with Mathias Oldèn of Logh producing and the esteemed Pelle Gunnerfeldt mixing.
