March 9th, 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.

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!!

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!

Tonight was one of the finest shows we’ve ever played.
We also added “Werewolves of London” to the list o’ songs.
Really great singers, the new p.a. is sounding better and another packed house.
The funny thing is when people who show up at 12:30 get mad because there are no slots left. Why would there be?
Ain’t no reason!
Corey On!!!
June 8th, 2008 — Corey Hamm, show report
We are of the mind that the finest thing you might could do on a Wednesday night is to skeeeeedaddle down to The Happy Ending and “Get Your Corey On” with us.
The list usually fills up by the end of the first set, so all that’s left are bribes, which I’ll ’splain in a second. Make sure you get there early or Corky Nemesis makes you pay us. We make him do it, because we hate confrontation. Well, our sponsors said we hate confrontation and a sponsor would know, right? After all, they’ve been sober over 5 months.
The thing about the bribes is this: We earn a certain amount to play each evening for you good people of earth. When we finish our two sets, that’s what we’re there to play.
If you arrive late at a Laker’s game (yes, I just compared us to the Los Angeles Lakers, what of it?) they’re not going to play another quarter when they finish the game just because you want to see them play are they?
If they are, please invite us to go see the Lakers with you.
I could have just as easily written an example that had you working as a prostitute. Be thankful I didn’t!
Enjoy the Time Lapse clip of the gig and Corey On!!!

One Set in Six Seconds

Even with Gordon Sumner’s band playing just up the street from us and causing traffic havoc, we filled the list before our first break again and had a total blast tonight.
Corey snapped at some environmental actor type and that was funny because no one could tell if he was serious. I still can’t tell. Corey insulted someone else who needed attention and that’s always funny and tragic. I think it might have been the same Corey.
Who can tell when you’re on methadone? I mean really, right?
Regardless, it was the most fun we could have on a Wednesday night and we sure do love playing for the fine folks with fine taste who come to rock with us.
Oh yeah… tonight there were a plethora of frighteningly beautiful women. We all fell in love just a little bit with each and every one of you rockin’ damsels.
