Nominate Freeform Radio to represent D.C. at SXSW #WeDC

Nominate Freeform Radio to represent D.C. at SXSW #WeDC

For your consideration, please nominate Freeform Radio!

"At the #WeDC House at SXSW, meet the side of Washington, D.C. you didn’t catch on your eighth-grade field trip," says the event page for Washington, D.C. at South by Southwest.

Believe it or not, the District of Columbia is more than just the Federal City infamous for congressional gridlock and Donald Trump. This is a diverse and creative place, too.

The city’s tourism office sponsors an exhibit at the annual tech and music festival to showcase creativity in the District of Columbia. We’ve thrown our hat into the ring to participate at this year’s show.

You can help us get there by submitting your own Freeform Radio nomination: http://bit.ly/FFR4SXSW

Fret Zeppelin is now live on Kickstarter!

Fret Zeppelin is now live on Kickstarter!

Visit the Fret Zeppelin Kickstarter page to support this amazing project

We had the privilege of attending the launch party for Fret Zeppelin's Kickstarter campaign over the weekend and had a great time!

For our fans out there who agree this device is super cool, why not back the Kickstarter project with a donation of as little as $5?

A donation of $199 or more will land you a Fret Zeppelin of your very own before it hits shelves, estimated to deliver this October.

Thanks for having us, Fret Zeppelin!

Thanks for having us, Fret Zeppelin!

That's a wrap, thank you Fret Zeppelin!

Here we are on the set to film a testimonials segment for our friends at Fret Zeppelin. We gotta say, this device is super clever and very cool. Fret Zeppelin teaches guitar in a whole new way.

Lights all the way up the neck illuminate to show newbies exactly how to play chords, scales and even songs. It also has a setting to flicker the lights at random, which makes it a cool accessory for the stage.

Because the LEDs are only about half as tall as the frets on a guitar, it doesn't interfere with playing or create any annoying buzz on the strings.

We can't wait for the launch of the Fret Zeppelin Kickstarter campaign and wish the savvy developers great success!

Get ready - we're making our small screen debut!

Here's a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Nikki with one of the creators of Fret Zeppelin, Shaun Masavage. We're helping them shoot a promo video for their super cool LED device that teaches guitar in a whole new way.

In a few weeks we'll premiere our new single "Crash + Burn" just in time for the unveiling of Fret Zeppelin's Kickstarter campaign. Stay tuned!

Halloween Special: Donning costumes for our show at Rock 'n' Roll Hotel

Halloween Special: Donning costumes for our show at Rock 'n' Roll Hotel

Can you guess our costume?

We've never dressed up before in the spirit of Halloween. Let's just say some band members were more excited by the idea than others (ahem, Jared).

The band settled on a costume compromise, something that didn't involve face paint, masks, wigs, i.e., required minimal preparation and something that was easy enough to play in for a 30-minute set. :-)

We're Robert Palmer and a couple of the girls from his iconic music video for the 1985 classic, "Addicted to Love."
