Thursday 9th September 2010
The Kooks, and Mr Hudson are amongst the first names announced for Chazzstock commemorating the life of Chazz Haddon frontman of Ou Est Le Swimming Pool on Monday 04th October at London's KoKo.
Chazzstock will be celebrating the life of Chazz Haddon, enigmatic front man of Ou Est Le Swimming Pool who sadly took his own life on Friday 20th August 2010 shortly after the bands performance at Belgium's Pukkelpop Festival.
Ou Est Le Swimming Pool and friends have rallied around to present Chazzstock, an evening put on by friends and family to celebrate his life and achievements. The line-up consists of many of the bands friends who will each cover a track from Ou Est Le Swimming Pool's forthcoming album'The Golden Year' (released on Sunday 3rd October) followed by some of their own music.

All proceeds will go to MIND the UK's leading charity for Mental Health support who work towards improve the quality of life of people who experience mental or emotional distress. Mind offers a range of services for people with experience of mental distress, their carers and mental health professionals providing information, advice and support.
Paul Farmer CEO of Mind said "We are so sorry to hear of the bands recent tragedy and our thoughts of course go to Charlie's friends and family. Sadly, suicide is an all too common occurrence, especially in young men. To encourage men to get help when times get tough, Mind launched a campaign called 'Get if off your chest' to promote better mental health awareness. We are so grateful to Charlie's friends, family and band members for their hugely generous donation to Mind which will help us to continue with this work and we hope that this gig will inspire young men to open up about mental health."
