Formed in Boston in the summer of 1999, Freezepop is comprised of band members Liz Enthusiasm (vocalist), the Duke of Pannekoeken (producer/vocalist/programmer), and Sean Drinkwater (synthesizers/programmer/ vocalist). Within eight months of forming, Freezepop had released two homemade EPs and started a DIY promotional machine that would become one of their trademarks. The band sent the EPs to local press outlets and began booking their own shows.
With a small following now in place, Freezepop took the eight songs from the EPs and added four more to create the first Freezepop album, 2000�s Freezepop Forever, released domestically on their own label, Archenemy, as well as licensed in Europe by the Spanish indiepop label Elefant. The Fashion Impression Function and Hi-Five My Remix EPs followed, featuring new songs and remixes of tracks from Freezepop Forever. In 2004, Freezepop released their sophomore album, Fancy Ultra�Fresh, and went on their most extensive tour to date, playing energetic, fun, and chaotic shows throughout North America and Europe.
A key factor in Freezepop�s 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 and Dance Dance Revolution. Freezepop songs are also featured in an assortment of indie films, extreme sports DVD releases, and websites, and they�ve done well on college radio, repeat-charting in the CMJ Top 50.
In addition, Freezepop has used the internet as a powerful way to find new fans and stay in touch with the diverse ranks of old-schoolers. Freezepop.com features enough content to keep visitors entertained for hours; the band�s Myspace pageis noisy with over 50,000 fans clamoring for more rokk, and is consistently ranked in the Electro Top 5. The page, which is still maintained by the band members themselves (and remains proudly spam-bot free), has racked up more than two and a half million plays in under three years.
After nearly eight years of self-releasing their CDs, Freezepop is very excited to be partnering with Cordless Recordings/Rykodisc for the September 25, 2007 release of their brand new album, Future Future Future Perfect.
