2009, to me, will be the year SOS went full force online. Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, etc…

Well, I’m going to add this blog so that the collection will be more complete than it has been. If you want to see what’s going on follow them on Facebook and this site: http://swingoutsister.posterous.com/

They’re currently in South East Asia doing some gigs eventually making their way back home. There’s some interesting shots up there.

Where the heck have I been? Corinne and Andy & co have posted more dates!!

With the year is almost over and Swing Out Sister is still busy with touring in muliple countries starting in December. They’ll swing over to Singapore for a unique beach front concert at 1 Twenty-Six on December 16th and then a quick stroll over to Bankok’s Sanam Suepa on December 19th.

They then hop over to Italy for two concerts in Naples and Sicily and continue their way back home with shows in Manchester and London.

It’s a great time to be a Swing Out Sister fan with concerts being more and more reality than just dreams in fan’s minds. So what are you waiting for? Book your trips, give yourself a nice Christmas present and have a great time with Swing Out Sister!

This site, in many variations, has been running since 1995-96 or so after my fascination of the web made me want to create something new for people to use. Swing Out Sister didn’t have a site nor any presence anywhere online. It’s was still that new. I went to work and setup the site during college.

So if anyone had missed the way the site used to look like, you can freely browse archive.org for various websites on how they used to look. Feel free to view my humble beginnings here.

Just a quick update, Swing Out Sister has posted a quick note on Facebook indicating a show for December 16 in Singapore. The details are short and they don’t have a venue listed. Keep an eye out for more details!

Andy has heard your response and has made Les Estrangers available directly through Swing Out Sister. Visit http://lesetrangersost.blogspot.com/ to order via Paypal!

I’m happy to convey this news to you all as Swing Out Sister has announced a date for Milan. They will be performing at Blue Note on September 25 and 26 at 7PM. Please visit the Blue Note site here: http://www.bluenotemilano.com/ and for those not versed in Italian, here: http://www.bluenotemilano.com/Default.aspx?alias=www.bluenotemilano.com/eng.

So get that cash out and get ready for a great September in Milan!

I’ve finally added the “Les Etrangers” soundtrack to Swing Out Sister’s body of work. I wasn’t really aware of it until some fans brought it to my attention on the forums.

If you didn’t know, Swing Out Sister was asked to do the soundtrack of a pilot of ITV’s “The Outsiders” back in 2006. Unfortunately, the show didn’t get picked up to continue on but, Andy has kindly put all the tracks together on one album. The samples are very short because most of the tracks themselves are very short (usually less than 40 seconds) but I hope that you can get sense of what the songs sound like.

This album is hard to find at the moment and the copy I bought was from one of their BB King concert (which was already autographed by Andy and Corinne.) Andy had mentioned to me that there will be an opportunity to purchase “Les Etrangers” soon but I don’t have a time frame yet.

If you’re going to the last show at Spencer’s Garden this weekend, you just might have an opportunity to get yourself a copy. For those who’ve asked Swing Out Sister to do a soundtrack, this is the album to get!

Update: I corrected some mistakes where some of the samples didn’t play in the player.

I have about 380 photos to go through from last Monday but unfortunately, life got in the way. I was really hoping to have them ready by this time but instead, I hope to have it by this Monday night.

If you have any pictures to contribute, I will be happy to get them and post them on the site if you’d like.

I’ll also be posting information about Andy’s project for “Les Etrangers” and add it to the Swing Out Sister discography. I may not be able to post all the tracks as samples as most of them are only 30 seconds long. Regardless, the information will be here. If I can get information on where you can purchase this album (in case you weren’t able to go to one of their concerts to buy it) I’ll try ask Andy about it. Hopefully, you’ll be able to purchase it directly from Swing Out Sister.
