Old News Updates
New Article and Stuff!
Date: 26th May 2009
There are two new things CDO related on the Interwebs today! The first is an article by the San Francisco Examiner highlighting what we all already know: that the Shine On Me music video is awesome ;)
The second is from a video sketch show on Cracked.com titled "The 6 Worst 'Professional' Music Videos on the Web" which awarded Shine On Me first place! But they admit it's awesome, so it's all good!
I'll have some more updates on the website soon. Apparently the album should be done around the 29th, can't wait!
Website Overhaul:
Date: 16th May 2009
I want to apologise for the lack of updates within May; I've just worked through my crunch period at University and now have more time to dedicate towards improving the site!
One thing I am planning on doing soon is giving the site a slight overhaul over the next few weeks. It'll be good, promise ;)
New Video Teaser!
Date: 15th May 2009
Teaser shots for the new music video based around Arra and the Third Kingdom are now live on Chris' website, which you can see here: http://www.chrisdaneowens.com/3rd_entry.html
There are four pictures in total, showing the lovely Arra in a blue robe, the dashing Captain Sterling, a dragon and of course, our hero:
The character standing next to the dragon looks like a new character, or is it one of the witches? Interesting stuff!

Blue Stone is on Amazon!
Date: 22th April 2009
The Blue Stone album is now available to buy online as a digital download at Amazon. Unfortunately, it is currently only available for US customers only, however it should be available on iTunes by the end of the month, and we still have the CD/DVD box set version of the album on the horizon as well.
To download the album on Amazon, click Here!
New Online Interview and Album News!
Date: 8th April 2009
Chris was recently interviewed by Bookspot Central as part of their 'On the Spot' column, which you can read Here.
The interview is well worth a read, and has some new interesting developments, such as the possibility of a fantasy book series based on the adventures of Jade and Arra of the Third Kingdom.
The Blue Stone album will be released on iTunes and Amazon across 30 countries within the next few weeks, with the actual CD/DVD version coming out sometime in May. Some of the songs from the album already seem to be online on Amazon at least, with previews available to hear.
Exciting stuff!
Interview with Chris!
Date: 15th March 2009
Up within the features section of the site now is an interview with Mr Awesome himself, which you can also find Here in its full glory.
A big thanks to Chris for taking time out to answer these questions, and I hope other CDO fans find it as fascinating as I. I don't know about you guys, but I really want to hear Lost At Sea now, dang it!
Thanks again Chris! :D
Poster!
Date: 9th March 2009
Today my new CDO poster came and is happily stuck on my wall:
You too can have the awesomeness of Chris on your wall by visiting his Merchandise page! Chris has also updated his Merch page with a clothes range as well.
In other CDO related news, a popular television network in the US have asked Chris if they can show the Shine On Me music video on a new show they are producing, which has the potential to reach over one hundred million homes! I don't know which TV network it us, but I hope it goes through!
CDO.com Update:
Date: 24th February 2009
The official CDO.com website news page has been launched with some interesting tidbits on there already. Apparently the site has had over three million hits since launch and the production team lead by Robert Short has begun pre-production planning for the next music video! Can't wait to see where Chris' adventures take him next!
Be sure to keep an eye on his news page here, and don't forget this place too ;)
Superhuman Lyrics:
Date: 21st February 2009
Chris posted the lyrics to his song, Superhuman, on his MySpace blog which I have now added to the music section. Have a great weekend everyone!
Live Interview:
Date: 19th February 2009
I just wanted to make a special mention about a live radio interview of Chris by Morgan Cline on her awesome radio talk show for LA Talk Radio, which you can listen to here.
It's one of the first live chat sessions of Chris that non-US listeners can actually hear and it's just really that awesome. I'm sure she won't mind a mention here ;)
