The
summer of '99 was a hot one in Boston. Many fruity frozen
treats were consumed. The only way to relieve the heat was to
form a synthpop band. Freezepop is the union of Liz
Enthusiasm, a stylish songstress with a cute chihuahua and mob
ties to The Archenemy Record Company and Lifestyle, the Duke
of Candied Apples, programmer extraordinaire of the qy-70 and
bound concubine to the Symbion Project, and the other Sean T.
Drinkwater, a powerhouse of synths and vocoder, who is often
confused with the original Sean T. Drinkwater (of Lifestyle,
the Drop Dead Sweethearts, Veronica Black Morpheus Nipple, The
Archenemy Record Company, and numerous other musical
associations), but is actually his clone. Freezepop was born
out of the glory dayz of synth bands like Kraftwerk, Depeche
Mode, and the Human League, but has its tentacles wrapped
around the future. All the Freezepop songs are programmed on a
Yamaha qy-70, a portable handheld battery-powered sequencer. A
typical day in the life of a Freezepop song: Liz wakes up at
the crack of dawn and begins brewing a fresh pot of lyrics,
sometimes innocent, sometimes less-than-innocent, and
sometimes in another language and making very little sense.
Meanwhile, the Duke drops the blippy drums off at school and
swings by the cleaners to get the synthpads chorused up for
the dinner party. Later in the day, the Other Sean is out
walking the vocoder and stops by the delicatessen for a fat
bass sandwich. Later that evening after a long day, the Duke
tucks song into bed and goes to read the latest issue of
Scientific American.
