	Chic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To facilitate a separate but parallel (to Chic's) solo career for their lead singer, Chic had agreed to sign her to a separate contract and label from the band.
		In late 1978 the band released C'est Chic containing one of their best known tracks "Le Freak." The track was created in an unusual and unconventional way.
		Chic is an American musical group that was formed in 1975/1976 by guitarist Nile Rodgers and bassist Bernard Edwards.

	Nile & Bernard - Chic - Tribute @ Disco-Disco.com
		Up 'till now Chic had been more of a studio project, but with the success of the two singles the demand for live preformances arise and as Norma Jean was contractually bound to a solo career on Bearsville Records, she had to leave the band.
		The band was during 1998 working on a Chic live LP and were also working on the video of "Le Freak" live in Japan with Slash on lead guitar.
		Chic also did a private show for Paramount Television at the NATPE convention at the House of Blues in Las Vegas on January 22, 2001.

	Amazon.com: Chic: Music
		Although it doesn't stand quite as tall as "C'est Chic" or "Risqué", Chic's debut effort stands on its own in the Chic catalogue, and is a much-have for understanding this band's musical origins.
		This album is unique in the Chic catalog as it shows us the Chic sound as it is being fine-tuned into the precision, airy funk that characterized their next pair of (and 2 biggest) albums.
		The eponymous album from Chic is not an especially strong lp, nor does it contain any must-have tracks (although the sensuous and sexy warm weather instrumental "Sao Paulo" comes close).

		Phil Lynott of the band Thin Lizzy was a heroin fatality in 1986.
		A number of high-profile celebrity drug busts and two new movies, one a highly acclaimed film from Scotland, give some people the impression that heroin is chic all of a sudden.
		Her band was the opening act for Smashing Pumpkins when heroin ODs derailed their tour.

	CHIC - History
		The importance of a band can be determined by their emulators, and Chic has had more than their share of those.
		In 1982 Chic released "Tongue in Chic" (review) which was a departure from the fashion consciousness of the past.
		The saga of Chic began with the first disco song written by Nile and Nard "Everybody dance" (video), tested at clubs in the Village in New York it became a club favorite among the locals.

	Chic
		It proved to be a fantastically popular approach, but equally easy to imitate: within a couple of years the Chic sound was all over the charts, with plenty of rock acts jumping on the bandwagon (Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" is only the most obvious example).
		I rated C'Est Chic higher for historical value and because it's more representative of the band, but this album is just about as solid, and more consistent.
		Chic was the brainchild of guitarist Nile Rodgers and bassist Bernard Edwards, who stripped disco of its usual glossy production, bringing it down to bass, rhythm guitar, and 4/4 drums (played by Tony Thompson), with minimal string and keyboard sweetening.

	And We Danced - Chic Profile
		Chic, one of the most successful and certainly the most influential of all Disco bands, found its center in the revered rhythm section of Bernard Edwards' bass and Nile Rodgers' scratchy rhythm guitar.
		Chic clearly were riding the final crest of the Disco wave.
		Sales of their first album Chic were strong as well.

	And We Danced - Review of Greatest Hits by S.O.S. Band
		The band emerged in the early 80's with sparkling late-era Disco influenced strongly by Chic's Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards.
		S.O.S. Band Greatest Hits is extensive enough (15 tracks) to include some tracks that haven't aged particularly well and sound like filler such as the Jam-Lewis throwaway Just the Way You Like It and silliness of Groovin' (That's What We're Doin') but most of these recordings are crucial to understanding 80's R&B and Dance music.
		The S.O.S. Band always wore their influences on their sleeve but were rarely derivative.

	/ keaggy.com :: Live Music :: Brad and Pond /
		Opening band Pond's goofy chic is contagious and the Portland boys are engaging songwriters.
		The band sucks its influences dry and brings sweat and tears to its listeners by taking the best of 70s easy-listening and the heaviest of 70s rock, tempering it with sweet funk and high fusion.
		It was nice to see a major-label band such as Brad give the opening slot to the good group Pond, who may have sold only 12 records but writes wonderful songs.

	NEWCITYCHICAGO.COM: Street Smart Chicago
		Culling together the band's collected works, the Samhain boxset is a fiend's pot of gold.
		Not only does the set include Samhain's four recordings on four separate discs--"Initium," "Unholy Passion" (which has, incidentally, been out-of-print since the late eighties), "November-Coming Fire" and "Final Descent"--but also a previously unreleased, live double-CD which features two performances, one from NYC in 1985, and another from Chicago's Metro in 1986.
		The Empty Bottle hosts the weekend's uber-party this Saturday (August 12), when the cast of local access dance party "Chic-A-Go-Go!," though limited it may be, hosts a wing-ding in celebration of the show's soundtrack CD and accompanying video.

		With a more solid lineup than ever before, the band dove into an exploration of dance and pop music, adding Chic, The Byrds, The Happy Mondays, and Timbaland to their previous influences.
		Following Spring and Summer 2000 tours with Baltimore's Love Life, New York City's Black Dice, and Philadelphia's Delta 72, the band recorded a six song, DFA produced EP, Out of the Races and Onto the Tracks which was released by Sub Pop on May 22nd.
		The Rapture was formed in the spring of 1998 by Vito Roccoforte and Luke Jenner.

	Music: Boston Phoenix CD Reviews (The Boston Phoenix . 05-24-99)
		Thus comes this live CD of the number-one disco band's 1996 appearance in Tokyo, memorable for having been the last time that Nile Rodgers and the late Bernard Edwards, the Chic rhythm kings, played together -- Edwards died that very night in his hotel room.
		Although she's fronted two electric bands (Lay Quiet Awhile and the Tantrums), Howle is probably better known for the charming and rambling spoken monologues she does between songs on stage (these were captured a few years back on an live album for Amy Ray's Daemon label).
		Heasley's songs go off on tangents that most songwriters couldn't get back from, which is what keeps the Lilys from being just another Kinks tribute band.

	Not just another band from Brooklyn www.azstarnet.com ®
		The PR-party line on rock band Pilot to Gunner is this: Brooklyn band is so very unBrooklyn, so very unlike the meta-chic fashion-punk of Karen O, the opposite of slicked-down Interpol.
		When bands come to town, they're preceded by onesheets - smug little ads, basically, that promote a group by appealing to a music writer's eye for phrase-turning.
		Pilot's sort-of bad hair and a generally un-artsy image leave room for straight-ahead rock - the kind of angst-core you used to see coming out of Washington, D.C. (that last part was straight from the onesheet.)

	F
		I was expecting a goth-full of tears band with an anorgasmic chic singing because her boyfriend told her that he would love her forever but he left her in October.
		The new album of the band, which is titled “The Seventh Sign” is a good one and it is moving in the known hard rocks style of Frontline, although this time the production is even better than their previous “Against The World” and the guitars are harder.
		The band also released a demo last year, which included four tracks that are also included in their debut self-titled album.
