The New York Post caught up with Chester French in New York City last week, talking with the indie pop duo in their hotel (and their bathtub) about their upcoming tour schedule, probably going with ‘C’mon’ as the new single, D.A. Wallach’s “youth serum” - Ciroc, hotel robes, their free mixtape ‘Jacques Jams’, their debut album ‘Love the Future’, and more. Watch the interview/hangout below.
While DJ’ing at the Diesel store in New York City today, DA Wallach of Chester French protected himself from swine flu with a surgical mask.
D.A. Wallach and the always sarcastic Maxwell Drummey of Chester French talked with MySpace Hip Hop about the story behind their name, trimming a five piece band down to two, the new album ‘Love the Future’, and mixtape ‘Jacques Jams, Vol. 1: Endurance’. “We’re just gonna be always bringing the foremost creativity to the table,” Wallach promised. Watch the comments below.
TV Guide’s Hollywood 411 caught up with Max Drummey and DA Wallach of Chester French, who talked about their new major label album release ‘Love The Future’. “We’ve been built to where we are now by a number of people who have gotten behind us without any MTV or any radio or any of that,” Wallach said. Watch the brief feature below.
D.A. Wallach of Chester French took to his official web site to respond to a one star review by Melissa Maerz at Blender.com gave their debut album ‘Love the Future’, suggesting the pop duo’s lyrics were sexist. Wallach writes:
If anything, the message I want to convey is that it’s hip to be square, and that girls shouldn’t be so caught-up in the games of status and style. As someone raised by his mom who even chose to do a tutorial in college on feminist theory, I really fear after reading your review that people will get the wrong idea about our motives. Our goals have never been anything but to make thoughtful music and entertain.
The entire message at ChesterFrench.com has since been removed.
Update: Wallach writes on his Twitter page (@DAChesterFrench):
Melissa Maerz wrote back and now we’re friends. For the record, Chester French LOVES women. That’s why we made Jacques Jams to attract them.
Chester French shot a public service announcement shot for MTV’s GYT (“Get Yourself Tested”) Campaign. Watch D.A. Wallach sitting poolside with a girl asking him if she’s a weirdo for sometimes saving her urine and giving it to special people in the PSA below.
Chester French checked in with fans on their blog at MySpace on Thursday (April 2), confirming that because Lady Gaga cancelled her show tonight at 9:30 Club in Washington, DC and Friday at The National in Richmond, Virginia, they’ll not be performing either. The duo write:
Hey everyone in DC & Richmond… we’ve got bad news.
The Lady GaGa shows in your area have been cancelled. That means we’re not gonna be there either. We know, this sucks. Two of our best shows ever went down in DC & Richmond. You guys hold it down big time. ARGH!
That also means we’re canceling our in store events in those cities.
BUT! We’re filming some cool stuff Friday (that we can’t talk about yet) that we know you will really enjoy. And the mixtape and album are both dropping very, very soon… so there will be more Chester in your world. Don’t worry!
-DA & Max
