OK, in an attempt to shatter my own procrastination record, I am going to plug a show that starts in just over 24 hours from when this post will go live...

FREEZEPOP PLAYS MADISON FOR FREE!!!!

Yes, that's write, Freezepop, the synthpop geniuses behind Guitar Hero and Rock Band hits like Less Talk More Rokk and Get Ready to Rokk, will be playing in Madison this Friday (that's TOMORROW) - and the show is FREE!

What: Freezepop (with Joy Electric opening)
Where:  Club 770, Union South, UW-Madison
When:  Friday, 28 March 2008,  9:30 PM
Cost: FREE!!!!!

Note that as with other Club 770 shows, this show is nominally for UW students, staff and faculty only - but all that means is that you may need to ask one of the students at the show to ask you in as their "guest".


For those who may not be familiar with the work of this awesome band, I've added some videos below, so you can get a sense of their music and attitude... which could be summed up as all pop, all fun, all the time!

OK, so while I don't usually go on about new bands I like I just have to share some lyrics from Freezepop's song, Super Sprode

when we play a show
it's good to know
you are in the crowd
we hear you scream so loud
you like to dance
and take a chance
so throw your undies on the stage
no wait
you're underage
you send us email every day
shop at target
you made your freq
so uber-chic
you know what you are...

in case you missed it, "shop at target" is sung as "shop at targ-zhay", because it scans, and because they're slamming these "uber-fans" of theirs...

Gotta love a band that is willing to slam it's own hardcore fans, you know?

So JoCo posted some links about his performance at the PAX gathering in Seattle, including his awesome live version of Re: Your Brains (which all zombie fans should *definitely* check out...!)

While surfing around various links I discovered these guys... a little "Electroclash" band from Boston, of all things.

I think this video is classic!  (I gather the Japanese may be atrocious, but it's the spirit of the thing...!)
