froSTed was a short-lived pop punk group formed by ex-Go Go's guitarist and singer Jane Wiedlin. The band was so-named because "it sounds sweet"."The Daily Aztec" ( [http://www.thedailyaztec.com/home/index.cfm?event=displayArticlePrinterFriendly&uStory_id=0712b8f0-cd68-400b-a32a-370852b50be8 link] )] The letters S and T were capitalised in tribute to "Star Trek", one of Wiedlin's favourite TV shows. They released one album in 1996.

History

Wiedlin was joined by a second guitarist, Brian Waters, Sean Demott on bass and Lance Porter (of Ex-Idols) on drums. All three men provided additional vocals.

froSTed began by playing live in Los Angeles and San Francisco, before their sole album "Cold", co-produced with Marc Waterman, was issued in August 1996. It was not a commercial success but was well-received by critics. ["Melody Maker", 11 October 1997 ("...blast of punk pop ...irresistibly tuneful.")] ["The Michigan Daily Online" ( [http://www.pub.umich.edu/daily/1996/sep/09-23-96/arts/arts4.html link] )] ["Chicago Sun-Times" ( [http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=CSTB&p_theme=cstb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB422CDEFB10236&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM link] )] Allmusic describes the album as "bright, chunky, and radio-friendly without being gooey mainstream glop". [allmusic ( [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:azfrxq8hldhe link] )]

Rachel Haden was credited with singing, while a guesting Gerri Sutyak played cello. Four songs on the album were co-writted with fellow Go Go's guitarist Charlotte Caffey.

The tracks "Bed" and "Call Me Crazy" were released as a single.

froSTed's last show was at 14 Below in Santa Monica, on 31 March 1998.
