All of these monumental moments in human history have been leading up to this moment… the launch of Chap-TV.com! The greatest thing to happen to the internet since the search engine that let me find the dates for my time-line. What is Chap-TV? Well, the best way to find out is to go to http://www.Chap-TV.com . But if you’re one of those people who like to read the directions before you put your furniture together…

It was an idea that was conceived on one of those really late overnight drives on tour, when Jason decided to pull out his new camcorder and start filming all the excitement. Being dark and all, he put the camera on night mode, and then the light bulb went off in the collective heads of The Chapmans… if millions of people wanted to watch the home video’s of Paris Hilton, maybe they wanted to see some of The Chapmans too. So we started filming every exciting moment out on the road, back stage, riding in the ChapMobile™, in the studio, broke down on the side of the highway. Then we got to thinking how difficult it was gonna be to get all our fans into our living room to watch the footage, and after a failed attempt to get permits to build a 10,000 sq. ft. addition to our house, we decided to build it in cyberspace. Enter Chap-TV.

It’s not your average band website. Sure it has the requisite band website content, Schedules, Music, News, Photo’s, Discography, Links… but wait, there’s more. It also has the revolutionary Chap-TV viewer. A porthole if you will into the everyday happenings of The Chapmans. Some of the footage is funny, some instructional, some serious, some musical, some a complete waste of time, but all of it distinctly The Chapmans. Even the original design of the “Home” page is representative of The Chapmans. That’s our couch, we own that TV, and the Record / 8 Track player… well, that’s a friends, but it has a Flatt and Scruggs 8 Track in the tray so we had to use it. It’s all just another way to make Chap-TV more personal, and we’re going to keep adding content, and expanding the site as The Chapmans evolve as a band.

So check it out, watch some Chap-TV, listen to the radio, contact us, and don’t worry if it gets late and you find yourself getting sleepy, the couch pulls out into a bed. Be sure to invite all your friends for the Chap-TV house warming, we’re even going to be giving away an iPod for the person who invites the most friends. Keep an eye out for details on that…
