June 2005 The band's 3rd single, "Feel The Machine" (Setanta), was released last Friday. You can have a sneak preview of the video here: The Chalets' début album, Check-In (Setanta), is scheduled for release in late August. Their 2004 single "Nightrocker" will be used in the trailer (Worldwide expect the US) for the new Dreamworks' animation film Madagascar. This is in addition to having a song featured on the CD soundtrack to the new Owen Wilson film "The Wedding Crashers" and the song "Kiss Chasing" featured on the soundtrack to new Irish feature film "Boy Eats Girl".
May 2005 Remarkably, this notion actually took fruition and before long it was a whirlwind of boy-girl face-offs, loud guitars, xylophones, nurse uniforms and indie-rock kids. The Chalets joined the ranks of Ireland's much-loved indie institution, the Road Relish Singles Club, for a split seven-inch with synthesiser-pop freak Neosupervital which featured Pee Pee and Pony re-imagined as cartoon space-babes. They then released their debut first single "Theme From Chalets" on Nasty Pop Records in 2004. On the flip side of the same single, "Sexy Mistake" is used in heavy rotation on MTV for a daft promotional campaign featuring farm animals with trendy haircuts. The "Nightrock" EP soon followed and even broke the notoriously dire Irish Singles Chart. To top it all off The Chalets scooped the Best New Band award of 2005 at The Meteor Awards. The Chalets release their debut album "Check-In" on August 15 plus a new single entitled "Feel The Machine " over the summer months on Nasty Pop/Setanta Records. They are also to be included on the CD soundtrack album for the forthcoming Owen Wilson film called "The Wedding Crashers" which also stars Christopher Walken and Vince Vaughn.
May 20 2005 As previously reported, The Chalets release a new single entitled Feel The Machine on June 27th, as the follow-up to November 2004’s Nightrock EP. The single is the first to be lifted from the band’s as yet unreleased debut album, which will be released later this year. June Live Dates - supporting The Cribs:

NOVEMBER 2004 The EP is released on November 22nd through Sentanta.
July 10 2004 " A revelation...if the B-52's and Le Tigre married and had babies The Chalets would probably be the result." The Belfast Telegraph "...a wonderful blur of hybrid pop by way of synth, punk and noise." The Irish Times The Chalets have been causing quite a stir on the Irish live scene for some time now, winning rave reviews and packing out venues along the way. Formed in late 2001, the line-up consists of 2 girls (Pee Pee & Pony), 2 boys (Chris & Enda) and a drummer (Dilbot). Together they make infectiously catchy songs that offer a unique, quirky and gritty angle on pop. The Chalets play OXEGEN on Saturday the 10th of July."
February 25 2003 This is the first release for pop quartet The Chalets while Neosupervital recently released a five-track EP called 'Use What You Got'. The 7" single is the first Road Relish release to be pressed on white vinyl and only 500 hand-numbered copies will be available. The launch gig will feature live performances from The Chalets and Neosupervital. Tickets are on sale from Road Records, Fade Street, Dublin 2 and at the door of Whelan's on the night for €7.
February 20 2003 The B52's love children The Chalets take care of headline duties on March 16 when the Monkey Tennis posse indulge in some pre-Paddy's Day madness at The Village in Dublin. You'll also be able to feast your ears on a MysteriousSuperCoversBand assembled from the Dublin leftfield ranks and the usual Simian array of DJs."
