We played there for a few months a couple years ago during the middle of winter in a world-wide financial meltdown.

With summer on the immediate horizon, we can only ass-ume that total and utter destruction will be reached by June and no one will be able to get in!!!

Get there early as

1) They have GREAT FOOD!!!
and
2) The list usually fills up quickly!

Corey On!!!

Pimpin’

Nov 22, 2010 Corey Feldstein, Corey Hamm, Coreyoke, Friends, Fun Times On Teh Internets

Being narcissists, we generally don’t send stuff to Coreyoke members unless it has to do with us. BUT, this has to do with having your idealism and dreams beaten out of you by a harsh, uncaring world…something we know LOTS about….

Death tugs at my ear and whispers ‘live: i am coming!’

Seeking Singers!

Did life get in the way of your musical dream?

Bunim/Murray Productions (Producers of Project Runway, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and the Emmy Award-winning documentary “Autism: The Musical”) is casting a new documentary special for TV about singers.

We are looking for inspiring stories of performers who gave up their aspirations of a musical career when life got in the way but whose passion for music still burns bright. We want to hear how your love for singing has helped you through difficult times.

If you or anyone you know in the Los Angeles area wants a chance to show your talent, send a brief paragraph about yourself with two recent photos, an MP3 (if you have one) and contact information to songcasting@bunim-murray.com

If you have questions contact us at 818.267.3508

Coreyoke in Rocktober

Sep 28, 2010 Corey Feldstein, Corey Hamm, Coreyoke, Happy Ending, Rocktober, show report

Did I mention that every week this month ROCKTOBER (say it soft and it’s almost like praying…) we are teaming with the awesomeness that IS The Happy Ending Bar, Restaurant & Beer Pong Stadium and giving away lots of cool stuff:
Contests, Free Stuff and Free Stuff.

All you have to do is show up. There’s no minimum or cover charge… NOTHING.

Just Three Coreys chasing the dream.

Kisses.

The C, C & C Music Factory

Re$iduals

Aug 12, 2010 Corey Hamm, Coreyoke, Friends, Photographs, Re$iduals

When we were child stars, we could take any residual check that was less than $1.00 to a place called Re$iduals in the Valley, show our fake ID’s and get a drink.

Those days are gone… The fake ID’s and getting a drink for a sub-one-dollar residual. We know why the fake ID stuff is over… We don’t need fake ID’s now that we’re over the hill and not drinking. Regarding the drink for the residual, that probably has something to do with the fact that most residuals these days are less than a buck.

We have the most awesome Screen Actors Guild to thank for that.

On the other, less bitter, hand… Every Thursday night at Re$iduals, you can spend NOTHING and sing with a live band consisting of three guys named Corey: Corey Feldstein, Corey Hardt and Corey Hamm’s brother, Corey Hamm.

The fun begins right around 9:31pm. (9:30 is so Wednesday night) and lasts until we can’t play any more.

There are constant battles regarding noise in the area, so if you don’t like your music really loud, then this is the night for you because we play SOOO SOFTLY, it’s almost like praying.

Re$iduals is also now called Maeve’s Re$iduals and the address is:

11042 VENTURA BLVD, STUDIO CITY

She’s Out Of My League

Mar 9, 2010 Cafe Boogaloo, Corey Hamm, Coreyoke, new songs, show report

Paramount Pictures and Casino is doing an event tomorrow at the Happy Ending Restaurant and Pickle Factory with us for their movie “She’s Out Of My League”.

One of the characters is in a Hall y Oates tribute band so if you sing the one Hall et Oates tune we know (Maneater… is there any other Hall und Oates tune?) not only will you have sung with the finest Live Karaoke Band in the UNIVERSE, you will get a free pass to see She’s Out Of My League and $40,000. But you won’t really get $40,000. I made that up, see.

We did an event with them for She’s Out Of My League this past Monday Night at the Cafe Boogaloo Cafe & Diner and it was pure insanity.

In other news, the good peeps at the Happy Ending Bar, Restaurant & Loan have promised us a stage and new sound system so when you sing, instead of feeling disappointed and sad, you will be able to hear yourself. The audience will be able to hear you, ass well.

And that’s all we care about, which is why Corey plays with brushes and Corey and I (Corey) play with our little amplifiers instead of our mountainous stacks of hotness.

Now you will be truly rock (or mellow & peaceful if you sing Imagine).

Speaking of new songs!

Maneater – the aformentioned Hall y Oates
Sex on Fire – Kings of Leon
Vasoline – STP
Goodbye to You – Scandal

See you in the trenches, people.

I love you & respect you too much to hurt you, much.

Mondays at Cafe Boogaloo

Jan 22, 2010 Cafe Boogaloo, Corey Hamm, new songs, show report

Our Monday night gig at Cafe Boogaloo is, as they say, “off the hook” and going great gangbusters. Make sure you get there early (by 10pm) to sign up as the list fills up REALLY FAST!

Boogaloo is great and everything, food, drinks, tables, posters, waitresses, bartenders, are a mere FIVE BUCKS!
(alright, just the food and drinks… the rest is negotiable)

We miss our buds at the Lovitz Comedy Club on Mondays, but Hermosa rules. We’re scared of the summer. It’s going to be completely and utterly insane.

Also… we’ve added a bunch more songs:
Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana
Smells Like Nirvana – Weird Al Yankovic
Song #2 (woohoo!) – Blur
Where the Streets Have No Name – U2

We also have 3 private parties coming up… all is well in Coreyoke land.

We’re looking to play on Sunday nights somewhere. But, isn’t everyone?

Corey On!!

I don’t know how we missed this one…

I GOT YOU BABE!

Aug 30, 2009 Corey Hamm, new songs

New song, people. “I Got You, Babe”, from Salvatore Bono and his lovely gal-pal Cherilynn Sarkisian LaPiere.

It is a tremendous song and, as a duet, you really only get half the glory.

But it’s still better than the rough cut of Prayer of the Rollerboys.

Hoping to see some of you at the Jon Lovitz Comedy Club up at the Universal Citywalk. It is our favorite gig and we’d like to keep it.

Handling your booze

Jul 30, 2009 Corey Hamm, Friends, show report

If you get so drunk that you stagger up on stage and fall over into guitar playing Corey and land on his elaborate, expensive pedal board that he paid for with money he made from our 900 line back in the 80′s. You might want to say “I’m sorry” instead of yelling random stuff at us over the next thirty minutes until even the bouncers get sick of you and throw you out. You also might want to think twice before you hit one of us as you’re being dragged out.

Especially if you’re a female.
Especially if you’re a female who has done this before at least once.

We speak from experience!!

Corey On!
