Freezepop NYC

Alright, I somehow missed Princess Superstar the other night, but I made sure I got my butt into Manhattan early enough to catch Freezepop at the luminous Pussycat Lounge (meow!). I should have realized that an establishment with any reference to pussycats would probably have naked boobies on display, but I sure found out right away, when instead of taking some hidden stairway to where the musical stage actually was, I walked right through the door in front of me where I was carded to find several ladies jaunting about topless barside. Oh well! The show itself was a lot of fun. Freezepop is a trio specializing in electro-synth pop. They got the entire crowd jumping around to the beat, causing me to worry. I wasn't sure that the support beams would be able to handle all the ups-and-downs. The floorboards were giving in, swaying about giving me a feeling similiar to that of sea-sickness. At any moment I could see myself and the entire crowd falling through the floor crashing down upon all the frisky dancing girls and their hard-luck, world-weary, over-charged clientelle. I kept dancing anyway. Freezepop played songs with titles like, "Boys on Film", "Science Genius Girl", "Pop Music", "Stakeout", and "Get Ready 2 Rokk." They didn't play some of my favorite songs like "Shark Attack" and "Robotron 2000", possibly due to the fact that the sound system there really kind of sucked. Their show ended suddenly when the mikes stopped working. Darn! A curious observation on my part: I assumed lots of nerdy girls would show up to this show - sure there were a few, but, on the whole the ladies there that night were like Hollywood gorgeous. Lots of toothy smiles, well-defined cheek-bones, and long blonde hair. One of them looked like a fair-skinned version of the girl who plays Lana Lang on "Smallville." Were these females "planted" by the management? Hmmmm....
