Kate French

Metal Vocalist for Vainglory and Chastain

About Me

I am the vocalist for the band VAINGLORY. These guys are like family to me and im very proud to have them in my life. Our first CD released the begining of last year and has had some fantastic reviews. To buy a copy, go to Vainglory's myspace page on my top friends list and click on the CD cover when you get there. If you are a TRUE metal fan , you will DIG this CD! Our guitarist, CORBIN KING is being called "The King of Southern Shred" listen and you'll understand why. Vainglory is currently in the studio recording our second CD due out in 08 with the working title "Manifesting Destiny". This CD will be slightly more aggressive then the last, more edgy....im going for some different vocalizing besides what I have done in the past....more screaming...and just all around more dynamic. This has been an AMAZING time for us to say the least. Now on LOCOMOTIVE records....were ready to take the world by storm! You'll KNOW when this CD comes out!!! Thank you to everyone for your kindness and support! Hope to see you on tour! Love, Kate (;!

The song to the left (MY LIVING HELL) is one I wrote for the last self titled VAINGLORY CD. Its for anyone whos ever felt stuck in a one sided, bad relationship....take a listen if you have time. The SNOWCAP player below has amazing sound quality. Click a song and hit play to hear a 30 second clip. All my best to all of you! Love, Kate (;!

My Interests

The voice and the human body. Songwriting, recording, production, engineering, programing, playing keys and guitar.

I'd like to meet:

As many cool people as possible!
The sexiest metal/rock magazine and the nicest editor ever!!...

Music:

I LOVE all kinds of music, especially live music.

Movies:

Anything that has the warrior type story. 300, Brave Heart, Gladiator, Apoctaliptico. SAW or SAW 2 or HOSTEL if I want to be shocked out of my seat. CRASH or STAY if I want to appriciate life more, SCARY MOVIE, Adam Sandler, or Eddie Murphy movies if I want to laugh my ass off. But my favorites are the movies that are a little of everything like THE FIFTH ELEMENT or ARMAGEDON. I love Bruce Willis.

Television:

Mindless TV when I do watch TV,something I dont have to think about too much. I dont have alot of time. I like any VH1 reality show and I also dig on any singing competition or blooper shows.

Books:

Anything to have to do with the functions of the body or health and wellness. It's intresting to learn about all the intricacies of our bodies. I would like to help people to be the healthiest and most energetic they can be. I have a webzine I am working on when time allows called FLOURISH! It will address alternative ways to cure health and asthetic issues without chemicals, but with natural cures like food, viatamins and herbs. www.katefrench/flourish.com

Heroes:

God (or the positive energy, or budda, or the light or.......I just call it "life force" or GOD.......to each his own)I respect the individual right to choose and NEVER judge for it. Everyday is a gift and I feel fortunate to have my life, health, and the simple things we take for granted everyday. If youve ever been without those things, you know why I say this. My son Trevor is my hero because he is the best thing that ever happened to me, and my Grandmother, Mary French because she has always been there, and always belived in me. ....Benjamin Niebla III of Desert Rock for all his help....
....Rita and Toine from Metal Maidens because what they are doing for women in Metal ROCKS and so do they!
...My friend Ron Sharp cause hes a good dude with a unique style, and Deluxe TV kicks ass!!!
Bob, my favorite artist. He did our CD cover, and Yngwies last CD cover too! Check him out.
And the music that inspires me everyday...that voice...that talent...that ASS KICKING MO FO ZAKK, and all the BLS guys, I LOVE THEM ALL!!

My Blog
