Hello All, I am in the midst of editing a new music video of our song Dark Carnivale and realized we never posted our other two videos on Enchanted Folk! 

So I'm putting the links here. Enjoy!

 

The first is for our song "House of Cards" a steampunk faerie tale of intrigue!

The second, "Make Out," is about a cheeky parking lot rendez-vous!

Hello Enchanted Folk!

 

I was stunned to see that it had been a whole year since my last entry... wow, time really does fly when you're having fun!!!

 

Well, 2010 was an amazing year, tons of touring and awesome shows. We played some of our favorite Faerie Festivals like Spoutwood and FaerieCon and World of Faeries and got to perform at some for the first time like Faerieworlds! The past few years have also had us performing at more and more Steampunk events which has been fantabulous too!

 

We released a new CD in 2010, Happy Madness, and filmed a live DVD which just came out last month called Live at Bube's Brewery. 

 

Our big news right now is that we will be touring Europe in April 2011... yup, two weeks from now we fly across the pond to my old childhood stomping grounds for some shows in France, Germany and the U.K

 

Can't wait to meet some of the Enchanted Folk out there : )

 

You can see all of our dates on the newly updated website:

www.frenchyandthepunk.com  which reminds me... we also changed our name from The Gypsy Nomads to our nickname Frenchy and the Punk!

'till soon we hope!

Greetings!

So much happening in 2010. We have been working on our new CD and it's almost finished! We will be performing at Wicked Faire on Feb 20 in NJ and filming a live concert DVD on March 25th in an 1800s brewery in southeastern PA. On March 26th we will be having a Gypsy Feast in the Catacombs; 45 feet below street level! A 4-course meal with the Gypsy Nomads aka French and the Punk (!), with performance following the meal.

Gypsy wishes and hope to see some of you soon!

Ciao for now ; )

We had an amazing time at FaerieCon. The costumes were incredible. Great to connect with people we haven't seen in a while. Loved the new location and we especially loved all of you that got the floor shaking during our performance!!!!! Thank you to everyone...it was fab.

'til next time

xoxo

 

Well, it's that awesome time of year...but it just got here so fast! We've been on the road a lot since March and playing some amazing shows. August was quieter for us with a few shows on the east coast and some home base time for creating, working on new songs and the start of the new CD recording.

We just got back from Dragon Con last week and that was amazing. It was our first time there and definitely not our last. Saw lots of familiar people from other events...hard not to when there are over 35,000 people!!!! AND most of them in costume...beautiful!

 

So here we are in September. We're back in the recording studio tomorrow for the whole week and also finishing up preparations for the October tour that will be taking us out to the midwest.  Then in November we'll be heading to Maryland for FaerieCon...yay!

It's been a great year so far and we have a lot of tour dates lined up for the year. We'll be leaving in two days for the May/June/July tour. We'll be doing a cafe show today (May 13) in Saugerties, NY at The Muddy Cup an then it's off to Maryland for the Faerie Festival over the weekend. We had a blast at Spoutwood at the beginning of the month and we hope to see alot of familiar faces at MDFF.

Also, I am very excited that we have a spot in the new EF Faezine, you can read my story under the heading "The Nomadic Notebook"

Our full tour schedule is posted on our website.

We are very excited about the interview in the new issue of Faerie Magazine, now out and available from the Faerie Magazine website, www.faeriemagazine.com, or at Borders Books, Barnes and Noble etc...Check it out ! : )
