‘Kanel Night’ – Thank You letter

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 09:48:42 +0000

A big bunch of thank you’s to the young guns from Elefanatic, who offered their gear for the show, and only got to play 4 songs because of lousy organizers’ agreements.

A very big thank you to the very cool dudes from Battle Bosanova, who came all the way from Copenhagen and shared their magic with the rest of us.

And a thank you to the rest of the bands, who all did their part in making the night über cool and almost unforgettable:

Sincerely yours, Mr. Kanel

Kanel Records + Labelkollektiv = Happy distro for everyone

Martin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:13:40 +0000

The releases on Kanel Records will now be distributed physically through the wonderful people at Labelkollektiv!

As The Embassy once sang: “Good times on the rise / Good times on the rise / Now it’s all in your hands.” Okay, not quite. But still a good song. Look forward to some great things on Kanel/Labelkollektiv in the future!
