Video Game Celebrity Band Freezepop Performs on 2/15/2007 Freezepop, a once relatively obscure band turned college circuit hit, due in part to being featured on videogames such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero 1 and 2, will perform live at Radio Radio in historic fountain square on Valentines weekend. The event is part of a city wide endeavor to revitalize the cultural district. Playing alongside the band is Boston's own Boy In Static, who are known not only for their music but their art, which has been featured in several exhibits worldwide. Local dj's Jackola and Annie will also be performing. The performers at the event represent a true DIY success story. While the Freezepop has done well on college radio, repeat-charting in the CMJ Top 50, a key factor in their success has been that they have sought out licensing opportunities as an alternate means of getting their music heard. A natural fit on videogame soundtracks, the band saw their following grow through songs in the cult music-based games Frequency and Amplitude, and then increase exponentially after appearing in the massively popular Guitar Hero series, Dance Dance Revolution, and the new MTV Games release Rock Band. Freezepop's songs are also featured in television shows as diverse as Showtime's drama The L Word, and the PBS childrens' series Arthur, as well as the Nissan Rogue ad campaign, and an assortment of indie films, extreme sports DVD releases, and websites. Their single "Less Talk More Rokk" was the iTunes #4 dance/electronic song of 2007. This event marks Eden promotions four year anniversary, and the company's start in booking bands in order to fight the cause of HIV/AIDS. The team of local promoters Jack Shepler, Annie Skinner, and Chris Conner have teamed up to expose Indianapolis new award winning music, while doing good through charitable acts. The event organizers invite the city to take part in a rare opportunity to see them live this Valentine's weekend at Radio Radio on 2/15/2007. http://www.freezepop.net http://www.freezepop.net/press/resources.html http://www.myspace.com/edenpromotions Advance tix are available via groovetickets.com Wed, 06 Feb 2008 14:34:27 -0500 http://www.indy.com/posts/3382#comment_13280 http://www.indy.com/posts/3382#comment_13280 ASquared Thanks Ben!
