Where have you been? Why haven’t you come to see the show?

We’ve been doing so well… it’s just not the same without you… Is it something Corey said?

Or was it Corey?

Oh well… we don’t care… really. We really don’t. We’ll be fine without you. We’ll live. Sure. You just wait and see…

We’ll be there. Every Wednesday night at the Happy Ending Bar y Restaurant, 7038 Sunset Blvd, just east of LaBrea. We’ll continue to be the finest Karaoke band in Los Angeles you’ve ever sung with.

Just don’t expect us to beg.

Was it Corey?

He’ll change. He can change.

I love you?

This is how cool we are: When you sign up to sing you receive an “All Access” pass with a number on it. Hang on to that pass because at the end of the evening, we pick a number and if it matches the number on your pass, you win a fabulous prize!

Giveaways are what it is all about. Not the hokey pokey. Giveaways!!!

Corey on!

Gloria Gaynor’s haunting ballad “I Will Survive” has taken the top spot over the Bon Jovi emo death metal song “Living On A Prayer”. We’ve played the Gay-nor tune 22 times this year and Mister Bon Jovi’s ditty 21 times. 

Fascinating what one can do with a database, eh?

Corey On!!!!

Yay for Haim!

Now if we could just do something like that it would be awesome!

It’s getting wacky, wacky, wacky at the big coreyoke shows. Thanks to summer time and meetup.com we’re getting really great crowds of folks to come down and corey along with us.

Last week our drummer, Corey Hardt, had his twin brother, Corey Hardt, sit in and play. This week it turns out that Corey Hardt wasn’t available either so his twin brother, Corey Hardt, had to fill in. 

We’re pretty sure that Corey will be back next week. But if he’s not Corey Hardt said he could do it. If he can’t, Corey Hardt can do it, too. That’s what Corey said, at least.

Another thing this week: Some guy made a scary mask out of a styrofoam to-go container and scared me because I thought it was a flashback. Dr. Drew said they happen. Fortunately, it was just an guy from New Zealand with a styrofoam mask.

I’m very street so I say aks. Should I pronounce the word mask “maks”? Hmm.

If my parole officer says it’s okay, I’ll see you next week. If not, my friend, Corey, can fill in for me. But I don’t plan on breaking parole again. I know I’ve said that before. 

It works if you work it, right?

Here are the outgoing top 5:

• I Will Survive
• Sweet Child O’ Mine
• Pour Some Sugar On Me
• Living On A Prayer
• Bohemian Rhapsody

The meetup thing is realllllly coolamundo.

Last week was a complete blast, except for the stupid traffic from the hollywood bowl causing our respective limo drivers to make us late. We told the Happy Ending that they should spring the extra 6k for the helicopter but you know… penny wise/pound foolish. Or something.

Back to the point… We all agreed it was one of the finest shows we’ve played. There was new blood there from the meetup.com folks and that added a nice twist. Newer songs were requested and mangled by us, different songs were requested and mangled so the entire night had a very Lost Boys meets Dream a Little Dream II vibe.

That means it was awesome, fool!!

Speaking of new songs, there have been a couple of requests over in the requests requests requests area but not enough to get me to skip AA meetings and blow our sobriety by doing enough Bolivian Red Bull to stay awake and concentrate enough to learn new songs. You catch my meaning?

Speaking of rehab…

Corey Hardt is going to be playing with Steel Panther in San Diego for the next two weeks, so his twin brother Corey Hardt is going to sit in with us. He was actually the first drummer for Coreyoke, but a while back, we did a gig in Santa Barbara. Little did we know, leaving Los Angeles County broke his probation, so he went back to the pokey for a couple of years. Fortunately, Corey’s twin, Corey plays as good as Corey, so having Corey in the band is virtually as similar to having the replacement Corey fill in for his brother, the original replacement Corey.

They don’t look much alike, though.

Wacky. Totally wacky, brah.

COREY ON!!!
