Oskar Schönning's upcoming third album "Puerto" will be recorded live in front of an audience this September as an open session at Teater Studio Lederman in Stockholm. It all goes down on September 7 and will include a full concert following the album recording. And then, one-and-a-half months later on October 17, the band will reconvene at the same location for a release party including DJs, a documentary film of the session, special guests and much more. Pretty damn cool, if you ask me! I've also heard a new demo track from the band and it sounded great, I just wish I could be there in-person.
