CHESTER FRENCH SIGNS TO INTERSCOPE - JAMIE T TOURS US

Damn! That was fast! Just barely blogged about CHESTER FRENCH and they've already got a major label record deal. The Harvard boys just signed with Interscope label, Star Track (founded by THE NEPTUNES' Pharell Williams & Chad Hugo) and will drop their first record in early 2008. Their song, "She Loves Everybody" was played on ENTOURAGE and things got done. Congrats!

I wanted to put three songs by JAMIE T on the last FUTURE SOUNDS compilation, but had to settle for one. "If You Got The Money" is a song I play daily, but his release 'Panic Prevention' runs deep. He's already a big deal in the UK, where his Virgin Records release is selling, but now he turns his attention to the US and has just announced tour dates.
