CELL BLOCK 69 - In CANBERRY !!!! - AWESOME ROCK SHOW at The ANU STADIUM / Bar this Tuesday 23rd Dec

I can imagine that dismemberment would be quite an emotional adventure, bloodnut, but I do draw the line at having songs fondle my nipple.

I’m afraid that they have got the title quite wrong, however, as it should obviously be ‘WHOO GRANDMA!’ ….

Nevertheless, I am unable to find this story that has to be heard to be told anywhere on YouTube.

Where can I hear it?

Good pick up Granny. That is on bad error on their part.

Also, I’ve not been to the ANU bar for quite a while but could you really call it a venue fit for a ‘stadium spectacular’?

please refer below to their last press release for more amusement and laughter to the point of incontinence. Friggin hilarious show. again – reccommended highly.

Corey the artist formerly known as Correy: Keyboards

When you walk the streets of this modern world, you are very unlikely to hear single mention of CELL BLOCK 69. How is it that the eighties most critically and publicly adored band have managed to slip into obscurity unnoticed? There’s as many theories as there are studies about what happened to the six Coreys. The most widely accepted amongst academics is simply that they are no longer relevant. Well, Mr. Egghead academic, eat your hypothesis! Cell Block 69 are back and stronger than ever!

Cell Block 69 have released their first single since the widely publicised media battle with Prince after they claimed he stole their song, ‘My Name Is Prince’ over a decade ago. So why, after all this time have they chosen to release a new song?

Speaking from his castle in generic europe Le Corey Micheals explains, ‘After the battle with that skinny mother with the high voice, we swore never to write another song again. Every great thing we wrote was stolen from us and we were just sick of it. But this song… this song… it’s different. It insisted on coming out. It was like we had no control over it. We would walk around singing a melody to friends and our many, many lovers asking, what’s this song stuck in my beautiful head. They would say

“oh, that’s Enter Sandman” or “that sounds like Yesterday by the Beatles”. Eventually we found a melody that sounded like nothing else and it came with a story, a story that had to be heard to be told.’

The result, ‘WHOO MAMMA!’. The title is apt because this song will take everything you thought you knew about rock and make it taste bitter. Crowds who have been fortunate enough to see one of CELL BLOCK 69s rare performances will fondly remember the song they scored to. WHOO MAMMA takes you on an emotional adventure of highs and lows, love and heartbreak, friendship and dismemberment. It will tug on your heart strings while simultaneously fondling your nipple. The musical prowess featured will remind even the most staunch musicians that all other genres of music are an utter waste and all will bow before the mighty Coreys and their mighty Rock!

They have also once again demonstrated their marketing prowess. With the single being released in a limited numbered run of just one copy, it is sure to be on every collectors must have list. It is expected that unscrupulous nerds will distribute the song widely on that internet thingy.

So after a decade of obscurity people may well ask,’ what happened to Cell Block 69?’, in another decade people will ask, ‘Where were you when you first heard Whoo Mama!’ and the answer will be the same, ‘in rock ecstasy’.

Thanks, PreciousLilywhite! Have a great time!!

BB68, the whole write-up couldn’t be more tounge-in-cheek. 😉

These guys are R.A.D…I’ll be there with (xmas) bells on.

welcome back granny.

Oh, it was an error! Thank goodness for that ….

*chuckle*

I spent a lot of my misspent youth at the Uni bar drinking jugs of cider. Sometimes Gramps and I still share a bottle of Strongbow, although I was already kind of past all that when I met him.

Stadium spectaculars are in the eye or ear of the beholder, BerraBoy68!! You have to use your imagination. A sprinkle of pixie dust, and think happy thoughts, and just look at those stadiums sprout!

Good pick up Granny. That is on bad error on their part.

We played in your nation’s capital in Sydney last night at the Hopetoun Arena / Hotel.

Sorry what??
They’ve changed the capital!
… Who knew?

i have waited all year for this.
