GOOD TIMES COME TO ME NOW

Good times but questionably good music?

HAYSI FANTAYZEE

 Lets look at 1983: 

  Like in 2009, tragic fires rage across two states and at that time, kill and damage a devastating amount:  

Back then in 83, Captain Fancypants  sat in his maths class when a Christian brother (later jailed for – guess what!) says “Boys it’s the end of the world” when the dust/smoke storm crossed Melbourne.

  Melbourne, beautiful, one day, dusty & smokin the next.....

What else in 1983? 

• Bob Hawke gets into politics, 
• The Americas Cup comes to Perth 
• Essendon beat Hawthorn in the Grand Final and life goes on. 

 But Australia still stopped at 6.00 on a Sunday for Countdown.

And back in 1983 the gender benders were on fire!  Boy George and Marilyn were racing up the charts.  But a new sound, an odd film clip, a leggy girl and a “What did he come as ?? “ bloke were now coming up the charts with the one hit song in Australia

Shiny Shiny  HAYSI FANTAYZEE

From the website:   This band fronted by white dreadlocked singers Jeremy Healy (also known as Jeremiah) and Kate Garner, and with Garner's then boyfriend songwriter/producer/director Paul Caplin in the background.

  Kate, a Welsh fashion photographer with her then boyfriend Paul teamed up with Jeremiah  to form the band.  Ahead of their time, they filmed a very low budget video (to cash in on the freakiness factor) rather than a demo tape to get the contact and publicity that made them a hit .  The song “John Wayne is Big Leggy” was the first hit for them in 1982.

As the Captain continues to  haunt the younger members of the Cleavagedownunder crew with this song (and threaten that we may perform it) it is difficult to believe that they (not us) actually released a whole album of songs. 
 The Album “Battle Hymns for Children Singing” beat the New Zealand Church Tabernacle Choirs release (Dirty deeds done with sheep) and reached the dizzy heights of number 11 in the UK in 1983.   Even as the review as added, Terry Towelling was even astonished at the lack of sensible lyrics that came from this dance ditty. 

Lets look at a random few lines from the song

It's a pity 'cos I dress divine

city smokes - people choke.

Big meanie he's a genie and we ain't got a hope

No chance - no chance.

Yes, no chance.  Not since the Red Rooster Ad jingle  or the song Dah Dah Dah, have the lyrics been so….deep!  Apparently the song is about Armageddon! (WTF?)

So did good times come?

It appears not for long.

The band folded shortly after this.  However they did continue on individually.  

Kate (after a rumored affair with Marilyn – then also produced by Paul from Haysi) continued fashion photography.  She has released a new song  (see below) And as she is still a spunk, here are some photos (thanks to those sites for these)

Click HERE for a interview and link to her new song.  (thanks to “Revenge of the 80s)  

See more on Kate and her photography at http://www.kategarner.org/

 Jeremy is now  a highly sought after DJ, across Britain and Europe.  

 More on Jeremy at this website http://www.jeremyhealy.com/

 Paul, well not a lot of info on him.  After managing Marylin for a short but, he has kept out of the  limelight.  He now manages a software company Capiln Systems

 And now .........

 So with Haysi’s  last song releases attempts of 

 "Whino Whino, glug glug, de glug glug”  

“ John Bon Jovi is is Mr New Jersey”

 and the doomed “White men can wear dreadlocks” all failed to chart and Haysi Fantayzee  faded  like a rockmelon in the “Con the Fruiters” greengrocers shop of 80s CLEAVAGEDONWUNDER Rock and Roll! 

AGAIN a big thanks to the trio of Paul, Kate and Jeremy as you made our rockin world go round and allow us to still listen to you today

And as always, the words.  Can you make any sense?

Good times come to me now

good times come to me now.

I ain't lying 'cos there ain't no time

no city.

It's a pity 'cos I dress divine

city smokes - people choke.

Big meanie he's a genie und we ain't got a hope.

No chance - no chance.

Well

I feel fine

no it ain't no crime.

I was dreamin' of a demon and I ate a dime.

The dime floats

the colonel boasts -

Send 'em up the hill boys, this ain't no joke

.

No chance - no chance - no chance - no chance.

Shiny shiny bad times behind me

Shiny shiny sha-na-na-na.

Your sure look fine your shoes they shine.

I taste your face your love is mine

Mercury dan with a spikey hand.

I'm a hot retard

Marquis de Sade.

No chance - no chance - no chance - no chance.

Saw a cop on the line

machine gun shine.

I was dreaming not believing that I was alive.

My mind broke

the cop he choked.

Get out of here, boy, or I'll use the colt

.

No chance - no chance.

You sure look fine your shoes they shine.

No heat can compete with this blue-eyed liar.

The child spoke - "We ain't got a hope

Press the button

press the button - it's all remote".

No chance - no chance - no chance - no chance.

*
Captains "Coat of many colors" well three colors arrived (thanks Sharcola from "Enchantedreaming" click here)

The rehearsals had come together

From this.........

Mike Stand Michaelson's creation!

The final stage is ready!

PERFECT!
PERFECT!

ON WITH THE SHOW
After a frantic Sat morning & afternoon at the Club which saw the head accountant (Is his name Harry?) get his TV re-set up at the Club, we returned to CDU HQ for last minute preparations. Even our own Chryssie De-Vinyl returned and did the bands hair and make-up!
But no time to make merchandising magnets Captain, lets get back to the club!
All was ready. Then some "apricot room" back stage dramas by the band (OK, just Captain yelling!)

And some interviews with our band members:

(P.S. Vote at the bottom of the post for your bestest band member!)

and the toilet shots made famous by Morrison photos last gig

The Apricot Toilet shot!
The Apricot Toilet shot!

IT WAS ON WITH THE SHOW:
So would the over 200 people who said they were coming turn up? You betcha. So Papa George and our old favorite Roadie , Rhino Tripod assumed all "door bitch" roles and yes, the house did fill. After the band were filmed backstage and some excellent trivia by our own Terry Toweling (Chrys and Tripod; let others answer ☺) We got the show on the road.
Also a terrific response to Aqua's new song: BACK TO THE 80s! We will shortly have the film clip for "you-tube" on site here that was put together by none other than our own Terry Toweling (now that the internet is back on at CDU HQ!)

AND HERE IT IS!

Have CLEAVAGEDOWNUNDER come and play or host YOUR next function!

We are available for gigs!

 Call FOXY now on 0417 031967 

The band that has "Come back from the past to create a tone for the future!" 

Cleavagedownunder are responsible for the Mimesational craze that is sweeping Melbourne!

At our gigs, we play the songs that we all "love to hate" or still love to love.  All gigs are “mimesational’ Played in the (patent pending) “Mimeorama” format.

We can design & quote on your next function and can arrange everything or just let us entertain you! 

OR Facebook Fanclub for more photos and information - Click here too!  

After multiple gigs since we were 'discovered' back in 2008 (OK purists of live music, we still call it a gig) we have continued to entertain with our salute to all that was musical and 'out there' in the 70s & 80s.  A musical comedy cabaret like you have never seen before.  

 Photos and/or video of gigs are on the website.

Contact CDU management here or at the bottom for more info. 

"Cleavagedownunder" the band can make your next function a success. We can supply 70s & 80's songs, trivia and perform your favorites. With Terry Towelling as your MC, the event can be customised to your needs  for ANY age group. 

With our own technical crew (AKA Roadies) we can assess the venue and location then discuss technical and other needs for your next event.

While some, especially those that sing and have real musical bands, find it difficult to comprehend that we are "mimesational".  However, we take it to the streets, (Or 40th's, 50th's Bar mitzvah's - not sure about weddings, but engagements OK!) 

 We have real musical equipment, but don't have to plug them in!

A little like the Wiggles for the over 40's! The show is reasonably family friendly (the open local events are) and can be adapted to your taste! If you have a song you want done for the party. let us know and we can (try) to belt it out mimesationally for you! 

Both young and old enjoy the odd comical lip-syncing entertainment of the Fabulous Five! We can supply 60's to current DJ style songs between brackets etc. Contact us below for pricing and availability and we can help you plan your next function.

We can supply references from past band clients and our parents will even say how good we are! 

QUESTIONS?????????

FAQ: Events, do you only plan 80s events?

Yes, not only music 70s and 80s themed parties, but we can also party plan any event and suggest themes, catering etc. For 21st's, 40ths, surprise parties, Bar/Bat Mitzvah's end of year parties etc, we can take the stress from you and get the event rocking. Any style or theme can be discussed and a "cunning plan" with ideas at a reasonable price. 

 Foxy our "events coordinator" can assist! 

Leave a comment and we will get back to you ASAP!

FAQ: IS THE BAND SUITABLE FOR OUR EVENT?

Dont be fooled by the name! The band caters to ALL age groups. One of the advantages of "Hamming up" old 70's & 80's song's is the younger crowds enjoy the stage show & comic performance , while the older ones remember the songs, enjoy the "almost live" music and sound of the CDU crew on stage.

The band usually plays two sets and can be adjusted to suit the venue, crowd and even something your parents will laugh at, along with your kids.

FAQ: Where can I see what the band does (or does not do)?

Actual Video Footage of Gig's are now on our You Tube site, click YouTube HERE for earlier video version's 

The band can perform, or even review an event in only the way they can, and give a honest review in 80s style!

FAQ: Can I put my/our band or event info on the site?

We also support local gigs and artists (you know those who actually sing and use instruments!) here on the website. PLEASE contact us and we can promote you event on our posts, or even advertise for larger events and companies.

If you are considering us, contact us via comments down the bottom with an e-mail address and Captain, Foxy or TJF- Australia the evil mean manager will get back to you!

Leave a comment and we can quote your next function, event or party.

Rock ON!

Why the band are struggling with rehersals!

Reasons why we have “not progressed” is solely due to the members behavior and lack of commitment:

Roger-

is wearing a frock in Dromana soon, so that took him on a holiday away from us on the suggested gig date! Apparently also going up to see the word fair site from 1982 in Brisbane, and protest against the evil Premier . Roger, live in the now! I hear Joh has died, the protests of the Police state are over!

Freddie and Betty (theres a rumor they are an “item”!)

These two are “far too busy” with nicking off to events like Ray Burgess tour of a lunchtime with Supernaut, don’t really blame them, Ray Burgess sold me Sea Monkeys at “Kids World 78″. Hard to get a photo of them together - but “I sure know something” abut them. Betty loves Zoolander!

Foxy -

well you know Foxy, hard to hold, running off here and there. Unable to get to the last band practice due to waiting outside 3XY’s studio to get an autograph! She still does not understand that what is left of 3XY is actually spoken in another language. She thinks this is an interview with Plastic Bertrand!

Chrissie -

And Young Chrissie has teamed up with a slob punk called “Pete Vicious”. He seems to “disappear” for weeks on end, and she goes into hibernation while this so called “Punk Pete” gallivants across the high seas! Our Private School girl has gone berzerk! What to do?????? We may need Pete as a “honorary Roadie” thats is if he does not smash the stage!

So after booking the Hampton bowls Club we have to “postpone” this gig. We will be right to go on November, so open to gig locations and parties to perform for. There is talk of a New Years Gig but would need the fan base to support this!
