Ou Est Le Swimming Pool are an electro pop band based in Camden, London, England. They are most known for their track ‘Dance the Way I Feel’ and the Armand van Helden remix included on several mixes over the summer of 2009.
The band first formed as a three piece in 2008 when late founding member Charles Haddon met up with other members Joe Hutchinson and Caan Capan. Anders Kallmark joined the band soon afterwards.
After a concert at Pukkelpop festival (Kiewit, Belgium), on Friday August 20th, 2010, the band’s frontman, Charles Haddon, committed suicide. Haddon climbed a telecommunications mast, just behind the main stage of the Pukkelpop festival, and threw himself to the car park below. The 22-year-old was pronounced dead later that night. The London three-piece were in Europe playing a number of festivals and were due to perform as part of Australia’s touring Parklife festival next month. They were also set to embark on a headline tour of the UK in October.
This band warmed up for La Roux when I saw her in The Academy earlier in the year.
