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.

Swing Out Sister is ending out their US leg of their tour tonight at BB Kings in NYC. They just posted information about an after-party on Facebook located at Bamboo 52 (344 W. 52nd St) following their concert tonight to celebrate their US release of “Beautiful Mess.” I don’t know what the requirements are but I would highly suspect that this might be invite only.

Swing Out Sister is the featured artist on this weeks “Feedback Track” on the Smooth Jazz Top 20 Countdown website. It may not be as big as American Idol but let’s show our support for Corinne and Andy by voting 100% for this week’s track.

And if you’re a social networking fanatic, spread the word around!

Corinne has informed everyone on Twitter that the US release of “Beautiful Mess” has made it to the Billboard’s Top 10 on the Jazz charts this week!

Congratulations to Swing Out Sister for charting their new album! If you haven’t heard the “new” album, run out and get it or better yet, buy it on Amazon!
