Bio:
WARNING...Freakin' Sweet is not for the faint of heart.

FREAKIN' SWEET performed in the 2007 LAWLAPALOOZA as The Velvetkings...after deciding that "The Velvetkings" was way too dorky of a name for these cool guys, they promptly changed their name. Aside from filing frivolous lawsuits and drafting indecipherable operating agreements, Ed and John are 4 year veterans of Lawlapalooza, having performed with "She's With Me" in 2005 and the frightful calamity of their 2006 "performance." In 2007, Ed and John dropped the total losers they had played with in the past, trashed the multi-million dollar pyrotechnics, lasers, spinning drumcages and swore to never again perform near open flames. Next, they hijacked Greg and Mike, who were discussing generally accepted accounting principles and asset diversification. They all four felt the magic and decided to form an 80's/90's alternative rock cover band. It worked...Freakin' Sweet instantly became established as one of the loudest, edgiest and fastest bands on the lawlapalooza circuit. The rest is history.....kind of.

Also - FREAKIN' SWEET continues to audition the young female dancers that frequently join them on stage..."The Freakettes" - plaid mini skirts, glitter and visible tattoos required. Please note...a CDL is also required because The Freakettes are often required to drive the tour bus, limousine and equipment van.

Freakin' Sweet will be busy in the recording studio in August of 2009. In October, the band is scheduled to shoot videos to support the upcoming album. As a result, Freakin's Sweet may not be able to attend the event this year. However, some members may swing by for a beer, help out some friends and sign an autograph or two.

To date, the band's best effort remains the 2008 cult classic album: West 'till you smell it, South 'till you step in it. However, a certain bootleg version of "Freakin' Sweet is F'in Awesome" is thought to be a better representation of the band's live sound.
