From their website:
we're playing a matinee show while PAX East is in town!
saturday, march 27 - boston, at cafe 939, 939 boylston street. (right across the street from PAX!) with vintage VJ/DJ delights, courtesy of videodrome! doors at 4 pm. $10, all ages! and it's a pretty small venue, so you might wanna think about getting advance tickets. (also, not an official PAX event, meaning, a. you don't need a PAX badge to get in, and b. you can't use a PAX badge to get in.)

I'm sure many of you would like to know about this!

EDIT: Seems like they don't allow photography or filming, so I guess we won't be. Still gonna be a fun show though!

    I nearly crapped my pants when I found this out! Come over at 4 on Saturday and party with us! Tickets here:
    http://www.ticketmaster.com/Freezepop-tickets/artist/806913

    As their site says, it's a small venue. If you want in on this, get your tickets asap!

    Yeah I'm hoping they don't start playing right away or some other band comes up first so I can head over after the Red vs Blue panel without missing anything. I'm at least thankful they're doing it earlier in the day before the PAX concerts.

    Man, how is this not an official PAX thing? Freezepop has played PAX before. Freezepop is _from_ Boston... this boggles my mind... but yes... I will be getting tickets... oh yes...

    From the Facebook event page:

    a lil' backstory for everyone who was like "OMG they're not at PAX, whaaaat?": the PAX folks juggle their lineup and rotate out bands every few years, and it's our turn to sit this one out.

    Smells fishy... like I'm hoping they're on good terms and whatnot... Frontalot has played _every_ PAX... and Freezepop > Frontalot I think (not to say I don't like Frontalot, I just dig on Freezepop more).

    They can sit this one out, but I'm sure they'll be back for PAX Prime in Seattle this year. They better be anyway. :P

    I don't count myself as a Frontalot fan myself, but PA harbors a Frontalot affinity. I'd be surprised if he didn't find himself in the band lineup at any given PAX.

    When someone writes a song for your website, you're gonna want him around.


    I too am not a huge fan of Frontalot, but I like him ok. But it would just seem weird for there to be a PAX without him.

    Like I said though, surprised they didn't book Freezepop to appease the hometown fans. If they had a PAX in my city and there was a band from my city with international video game cred (RockBand, GH, Frequency) and PAX cred... I'd be a little bummed if they weren't playing a show.

    Because those of us in Boston can see Freezepop without it being PAX weekend. They play shows in Boston throughout the year.

    This.

    I don't think its a big deal of they play at PAX or not. I think they don't have as strong ties to PA as Frontalot does so they made way for new bands that have never played at PAX before.

    Kudos to Freezepop for putting a show on right across the street though for so cheap.

    I guess so. One way or the other, I'm pumped to have a chance to see them live. Before the schedule was announced I thought they were a lock, then they weren't there and I was like "crap", then they announced the show and I was like "word".

    Tickets purchased!!

    Yeah I did "pick up at ticketmaster retailer" not realizing that did not mean any ticketmaster retailer. Closest place to me I can pick my tickets up is about 300 miles away. So will go out and pick them up as soon as I land in Boston Thursday morning.

    Frontalot wrote Don't Stop Believin'?! I didn't know Neal Schon had a new stage name...

    Getting back on topic, Coldbrew says he messaged Freezepop about what time they were going to actually start performing. They say around 4:30 or so, so for those of you with tight schedules, this is the latest you should show up.

    You know what? I read that, but the Ticketmaster listing is "Freezepop and special guests" but I guess VJs and stuff count as guests! I think I'll duck out of the CollegeHumour panel around 4:20 and make my way across the street.

    Yeah that was the answer to the question I had asked them. I was curious about the "other guests" as well, but they said it's just them. I just hope they don't close the doors at any point after the show starts.

    It will be interesting to see Freezepop Duke-less. But I know they will rock none the less.

    On the FAQ on Cafe 939's website.

    Link to the FAQ page

    Quoting where it mentions photography:
    Q: What is acceptable behavior for attending a show at Cafe 939?
    A: We ask for a few basic courtesies. Please silence your mobile device or anything on your person that may unexpectedly make noise. Photography and audio or video recording are prohibited. While we encourage patrons to visit our neighbors at the Cactus Club for dinner and drinks, please be advised that intoxicated individuals will be asked to leave the venue. We ask that patrons be mindful of their language and conduct, as young music lovers are present.

    I bought tickets on ticketmaster the day they went on sale. However now I'm worried that the tickets won't make it to my house in time before I leave up to Boston since ticketmaster said they were shipped out 2 days ago.

    Will Call means you go to the venue day of show, show proof of ID, and pick up your tickets.
