On Tuesday night me and Shacky (or should I say Shacky and I) decided to take a trip down to the Old Blue Last in Shoreditch to check out the Chester French gig. We picked up a mix cd of theirs ‘Jaques jams vol 1: Endurance’ a couple of months back… and were instantly drawn in to their Beatles type Outkast sound… they’ve got some serious bangers on there!! ….get familiar!

Anyways when we heard they were coming over, we thought it would only be right for us to pass by and show some love. We spread the word and a few others from Team Hustlin decided to Tag along.

As we arrived at the venue, we went backstage to say hello only to find none other than head chef Doughboy and The ‘Bear-doe’ Bear chilling with the guys in the midst of negotiation.

I think they wanted to rock out on stage with them, but Max and D.A didn’t seem too impressed with the idea. …Eventually they were made an offer they simply couldn’t refuse!

I’ll say no more…

As they all went out on stage the temperature in the room got hotter and hotter as bodies began to pile into the room, getting ready for the show. Doughboy took to the drums and The Bear-doe Bear was on keys…. “This is my band… we are two mans… and you must understand” Hey-Hey! the show began….

What a show!! …The guys gave a great performance and everybody shocked out to the Chester French sound.

After the gig the guys didn’t waste anytime getting their hustle on, selling “f**k Chester French” t-shirts (excuse my French) and copies of their new album ‘love the future’ at the back of the room from a little stall. We went to go and congratulate them on the show and see when they were in town next… D.A was busy signing albums and counting his doe, but we couldn’t see Max anywhere? …I think he was off trying to lay some pipe on a couple of groupies backstage

As we were on our way out the door we caught up with Max outside the venue all in a fluster, it seems the doe he was given by Doughboy and the Bear-doe Bear had been ‘misplaced’… poor guy! Don’t worry dude, swing by Hustlins Bakery next time your in town and we’ll sort you out!!

I have to say that since our good friend O.G. took us to the Mike Giant exhibition in Paris I have become quite an avid admirer of his work, he’s pretty sick! I came across this on the Rebel 8 blog which shows us visually the steps taken in his illustration design process. This is definitely a cool and insightful look into one of the more respected illustrators/tattoo artist in the world of art.
