CDOASS have updated their website with a bit of news. First off, they just finished recording their own version of the Television Personalities' song "14th Floor" for an upcoming tribute compilation due out later this summer. Some of the other bands set to contribute as well include Tidy-Ups, Embassy, Jens Lekman and Radio Dept.. Next, they have announced that they will be opening for The Hives at the Electric Ballroom in London on June 3. Not a bad little gig, eh? And lastly, the band also ruminates on the closing of the famous Polar Studios with a couple pics from the "Autovision" session they did there last spring. Read more: http://www.cdoass.com/
