Hello everyone;
This post is long overdue. A bunch of people have been saying really nice things about us and we thought we'd give them (and their blogs) a shout. So here goes...
First and foremost we've got to thank the people at
theneptunes.org. They never, ever case to show the love and update their readers on C French news. Make sure to check out the site ASAP.
Also big ups to our friend and design specialist Hollis for giving both us and Johnny Cupcakes a nice little mention on his
blog. Hollis is the genius behind the "She Loves Everybody"
CD single.
The people at TheMusic.FM gave us a cool
double dipped post, first mentioning that we will be in Brooklyn, NY performing this Friday (more on that later) and then swooping in again to share our video of Chad dancing with their readers. Thanks dudes... that IS a sweet video.
David Harris over at Wicked Local gave us a nice
write up as well, whipping out the choice "Rolling Stone" quotes while they were at it.
Sit Back And Watch gave us a dope
mention and connected the dots between us and Johnny Cupcakes for their readers. They also love the condom package, saying "Tell me that the packaging doesn't go perfect with the title of the track, I dare you. Exactly, you can't because it is!" Well, thank ya'!
The Mixtape Monster awesomely spreads
She Loves Everybody to their readers. And we agree with the post: "Chester French is fucking hot, if you ain't heard of them, get up on them." Get up on us, people!
Mr. Wright over at Mr. Wright's Mind came out to the N.E.R.D. show in Jacksonville and
liked what he saw. Boo Ya!
The Epidemik Coalition at Standard gave us yet another very dope
mention.
Electrophan gave "She Loves Everybody" a cool shout on his
Tumblr. "This song is the jam, by the way. These dudes wrote and recorded this album in the basement of their Harvard dorm room. They kind of remind me of an updated version of The Zombies." Awesome.
Heather Browne over at Fuelfriends.blogspot.com also brought up the Zombies in her post, but gave us one of the coolest, most flattering
write ups we've seen. "So the story goes that a pair of Harvard boys get bored and decide to record an album in their dorm basement. A lot of things happened in my various dorm basements but nothing that sounded this good; I think it was too dark with those half-lit humming fluorescent lights, the broken foosball tables, and slightly dodgy-looking couches that you knew had some sketch tales to tell. So what did Chester French conjure up there instead? Think robust strings over crisp and sexy beats, some chiming mid '60s guitar. Go traipse on over to their MySpace now and listen to "People" . . . then try and tell me that doesn't make your day significantly better. So pleasing that I've already used it on a mix." WOW. Heather, we love you!
It seems like the Lupe video we filmed got around quite a bit. Both the
LupEnd blog and the
Lupe Fiasco Show reposted the video. Haaa
Megan over at SometimesMegan listed us as one of the bands that make up her
Soundtrack To Summer. We hope everyone will have a little Chester to listen to this summer.
Twentyseven Views also gave us an awesome
write up, comparing us to some awesome pop duos and informing their readers of our sound. But we have to point out to them (and a few other bloggers out there who have erroneously made this claim)... the version of "She Loves Everybody" you're hearing is the very same one we recorded in our dorm.
Hey, people over at Trace, we think it's awesome your
little sister made you guys listen us. Little sisters know what they're talking about.
"Their sound? Well, think Franz Ferdinand meets The Beatles meets The Beach Boys meets Andre 3000." Those are some flattering words there... thanks to Eclectic Confessions for
writing them.
We also made Say Dada!!'s
Five Albums of 2008 which is tremendous since our album isn't even out! Sweeet.
We really, really love the post from Marinella over at
Guitar Strings & Piano Keys. It seems like she was live blogging when she wrote it or something because first she writes: "anyway, right now im listening to People by Chester French, and its by far my favourite song from this artist. :] the artist sort of has this country vibe, but its quite upbeat and the combination is intriguing and is awesome." Which is dope... But then she posts, later on, "ooh, i just discovered another Chester French song, its called The Jimmy Choo's. yeayeayea, every babe out there wants a pair of Jimmy Choo's. its also an upbeat sort of country song. :DDDD AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH. Baby Got Back. WHAT THE HELL? AHAHA. :PPP i wonder why i clicked on that. AHAHAH. " Haaah, what?! That's awesome.
Uh oh... another correction we gotta issue... we love that WSD It's Tubular mentioned us
on their blog but guys... we didn't drop out of school! We
graduated.
The people at Agenda, Inc. have a verrry interesting post about
Just Kickin' It Like A Wild Donkey (up there on our list of "most awesomely titled blogs") reposted our MTVu performance.
Ah man, that was long overdue!
