Ken Stringfellow's contribution to our brand new EP series The Sellout Cover Sessions will be out in Norwegian stores april 7th, and through our mailorder the week before. Do you want to order it directly from us? If so, send us an e-mail.

In support of this release Ken Stringfellow will do an instore show at the lovely Big Dipper shop here in Oslo april 8th 7PM. Be there. Have a good time. Buy the EP and some other records (they've got a great vinyl section at Big Dipper). After the instore, go and have some dinner, drink some beer or vine and go straight to John Dee where Ken will be doing a show with the Posies.

The EP will be out in the US, Spain, Portugal and other territories shortly after that.

New Distributor

SellOut! Music has now signed a distribution deal for Norway with the lovely people at Musikk Operatørene. They will handle our upcoming releases and backcatalog here in Norway, and they'll also do some export.

New music from Hiawata! and Ken Stringfellow on Myspace

You can now check out some fresh tracks from two of our upcoming releases in our mediaplayer at our myspace.

The releases are Ken Stringfellow - The Sellout Cover Sessions vol.1 (EP) and Hiawata! Blacks on Blondes (EP).

Hiawata! beat us in the uploading race and uploaded the song Animal before us, so since we can't let them be better than us we give you TWO songs from the EP.

The hipsters over at the webzine Furore I Harare loved the song and have all-freakin-ready posted an amazing review of the song. Check it.

Hiawata! on the upcoming Oslo! compilation

The very nice Oslo based label Spoontrain Audio is releasing a compilation of Oslo based acts with at least one foot firmly placed in wonderfull world of pop. This release is a tribute to the lovely indie-pop scene in Oslo, and we think this is a great idea. Why didn't we think of it first?

Anyways, let's get to tha point.
Hiawata! has been given the honour of closing the CD with their anthem "Dylan MacKay" which also can be found on their debut mini album They Could Have Been Bigger Than Hiawata! (which was released by US, your favourite sellouts).

You can listen to some tracks from the compilation and read about it here.

New Hiawata! EP out this spring!

In october last year Hiawata! entered Kenneth Ishak's studio with a bunch of new songs that resulted in the 5 track EP Blacks On Blondes. They finished up the recording and mixing in February and it was mastered yesterday. It sounds amazing. Hits all over the place and lots of guest appearances by Kenneth on backing vocals and lead guitar. Kenneth does a mean j.mascis impersonation here!

So when will this 5-track wonder be out, and when can you hear some tracks? Well, we'll upload some tracks to our myspace when we've got the cover art, and we're aiming for a May release. There'll probably be some shows around that time as well.

If you're wondering what Hiawata! looks like when they play live you can check out this lovely photo from a show they played in Bergen last week or so.

New website!

Finally, the new website is here.
Amazing huh?

Well, it's not as fancy as the old one, but since we made it by ourselves it we'll also be able to update it all by ourselves as well. And do you know what that means? Well, more frequent updates! Gotta love that!

We've also added a blog, but for now it's a Norwegian blog. I hope that's ok.

Anyways.
The website isn't entirely finished. There's still a couple of sections that are under construction, but we're getting closer and closer and closer and closer and....you know. Closer.

More news on actual label activities soon!
