"  Chester French\u2014a.k.a. D.A. Wallach and Maxwell Drummey\u2014played two gigs in New York this weekend. Friday, the Harvard-bred power-pop duo (named for Lincoln Memorial sculptor Daniel Chester French) performed at a benefit hosted by Music Unites, a recently launched non-profit devoted to providing exposure for emerging acts, at the Red Bull Space in Soho, and Saturday, they opened for Q-Tip at Central Park&amp;#039;s Summerstage. ELLE.com beauty editor Emily and I stopped by the former, where we mingled with music-industry types (guests included Vanessa Carlton, Damon Dash, and Nicholas Potts from Tamarama) and watched the band play a set that opened with my favorite CF track, &amp;quot;The Jimmy Choos&amp;quot; (I happened to be wearing these). Listen to it below. \u2014Erin Clements Photo: Getty Images         Follow ELLE on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
