Chester French EP In Stores Now!

Posted 11/18/2008 by IGA

It was one week ago when a rather momentous occasion occurred... our "She Loves Everybody" EP was released to iTunes and Amazon.com's digital music store. Well, here we are, one week older and one week wiser.

A lot can happen in a week; we've all finally thrown out our Halloween pumpkins (and replaced them with brand new Christmas pumpkins); many of us have seen the new James Bond film ("James Bond And The Giant Peach," in theaters now); and, in one week's time, our newborn "She Loves Everybody" Digital EP has grown into a wonderful and very real "She Loves Everybody" PHYSICAL EP that's being sold in stores NOW!

Everyone should go out and buy the "She Loves Everybody" physical EP now! Even if you've already bought the digital EP, you should go out and buy a piece of history... heck, some of you should maybe even buy two; one for listening to and one as a Christmas Pumpkin stuffer.

We'll also have a special "She Loves Everybody" online music player that you'll be able to embed on your myspace, facebook profile and on your blog. That's what's up.

The EVEN BIGGER news is that on November 11th (aka 11/11, or El Dia De Los Onces), Chester French (that's us) will be releasing our EP to digital stores (and will be releasing to actual, real life stores on the 18th). Yes. We will finally have our music in stores, on the web and, most importantly, in your hands. There will be more details to come (also on the Facebook and Myspace).

And the HUGE news?! Max was finally potty trained this weekend.

Congratulations, Max.

Thanks, DA.

See you cool fools soon...

Omar Interview!

Posted 7/8/2008 by IGA

Hey everyone;

We have something pretty sweet to share with you today; Omar Dominick, our bass player extraordinaire, did an interview with British blog Petite Anglaise. Check it out:

Petite Anglaise: So how did you start out playing with Chester French?

Omar Dominick: My Brother was touring with [Kenna] and while he was on the tour [with them] he met Max and D.A. [Chester French] in February.
D.A. called my brother to put a band together for their upcoming [tour] dates and my brother told me about it.

Petite Anglaise: Who were you performing with before then?

Omar Dominick: Before then I was [performing] with Amerie and before that local [Philadelphia] artist.

Petite Anglaise: You recently finished touring with N.E.R.D how was that?

Omar Dominick: Awh Man...N.E.R.D passes on their energy and it's like the energy their crowd puts forth, like you were their that night and it's just amazing how their performance and even backstage their just really positive guys.

Petite Anglaise: Okay final question, personally what do you think is the hottest product out their right now, can be either fashion, technology, anything?

Omar Dominick: As far as fashion, I'm into everything being a sense of individuality. Like I'm not really into wearing what everyone else is into or whatever, like if your doing your own thing I like that better then wearing the same sneaks or whatever. But right now everyone's rocking BBC and Ice Creams which is really hot because while we were in London I thought only they [British N.E.R.D fans] were rocking it but I got back to Philly and people are rocking it to.

Petite Anglaise: Okay are they paying you for that endorsement?

Omar Dominick: What..no no.. it's just nice to see something branch out like that you know from London back to Philly. It's cool

Petite Anglaise: Okay..what about kicks, how do you feel about sneakers and all that hype.

Omar Dominick: Like I love Nike's and Adidas but I'm not really into the whole craze. Like I'd like to be a leader not a follower [when it comes to fashion] so I'm not really with that whole scene."

Omar is, indeed, an incredibly down to Earth dude, as any of you guys who've had the pleasure to chat with him after a show can attest to.

Posted 7/3/2008 by IGA

So before we went over to the UK, we played a secret show at the ultra-exclusive NYC venue "The Box." The place is an ill throwback to cabaret clubs from the roaring 20s. The acoustic set went well and it was an awesome and hilarious show.

Our friends over at the BBC Ice Cream blog took some pictures. Check em out:

Friends of C. French: Episode 1

Posted 7/2/2008 by IGA

Hey folks;

Thanks to everyone who has sent in their responses to the "Friends of C. French" questionnaire. It's awesome to be able to get to know you guys a bit better and, more importantly, for you guys to reach out to each other. That's what the net is for. Well, that and p0rn.

On the first "episode" of "Friends of C. French," we present to you Neal AKA Mixtape Monster.

Chester French: When did you first hear about chester french?
Neal: To tell you the truth, I can't remember where I heard of Chester French. I think I came across one of y'alls songs on a random blog or something and I thought it was super hot. I been putting my friends on C-French ever since.

CF: What's your favorite song and why?
N: I think my fave song has gotta be "Fall Back"....I mean damn, KWELI and C-French. Do I really got to explain why that shit is hot? Anyone that needs an explanation on that one should have one of their ears, if not both, Van Gogh-ed.

CF:What other bands do you like?
N: Other groups I'm feeling these days are of course N*E*R*D and Kenna, as well as Little Brother (y'all should hook up with them, I know Phonte could drop some knowledge on cats over a Chester French breakbeat) or pretty much any hip hop cats in the Hall Of Justus. That's how we do it down here in North Cack.

CF: Tell us about yourself, outside of digging Chester French?
N: Me? Shiiiiiiiiit [(c) Clay Davis], just a hip hop and music head who also likes basketball. Alum of the great UNC, so you know I love the college basketball. Also like to post musings, videos, music, and funny stories on my blog. Actually I've posted a few C-French things before and you guys linked my blog in a message. Props for that, much appreciated.

CF: The appreciation is mutual, Neal.

Remember, if you want to be featured on the blog, send us a response to these questions with the subject "Friends of C. French"

-When did you first hear about chester french?
-What's your favorite song and why?
-What other bands do you like?
