Musings of Manchoir

Manblog: June 1

webstuff@manchoir.com (MANCHOIR) — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:32:22 +1000

Last night we rehearsed and it was fairly strong. Fuelled by Melbourne
Bitter and a collective hangover to kill a bull elephant, the team
ripped through some new tunes that will have the crowd in uproar come
performance. We re supposed to be on some doco being shot soon, so
we’ll keep you posted.

The addition of some new blood has added some toe to the manchoir backline and these men have taken to the ways of Manchoir like ducks to water. Welcome aboard lads.

Ok, Im going to eat steak now.

Make mine a Mind Drink.

Walt is turning in the chryogenically frozen glass box that is his grave. Minnie’s loosing her shit and going all Lady GA GA so she can be in MANCHOIR.

We have heard a lot in recent times about the levels of estrogen in chickens and how that is increasing the number of kids with man-boobs.

Scientists who have conducting tests have come to the following conclusion: Not only will MANCHOIR reverse the ‘chicken-man-boob effect’ with a huge injection of testosterone, BUT ALSO some kids may even start growing beards and developing hairy chests as a result of watching us on TV.

Viewer discretion is advised for little girls, side effects do not bear considering.

So tune in on Saturday for all the action.

Listen to Jake & Stav from Bluejuice talking to JJJ’s...

Listen to Jake & Stav from Bluejuice talking to JJJ’s Scott Dooley about their performance of Broken Leg with Manchoir on Channel 7’s Sunrise program

Jake & Stav from Bluejuice with JJJ's Scott Dooley discussing "The Man Pash"

webstuff@manchoir.com (MANCHOIR) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:30:00 +1000

Dools: It's time for the Sunrise story
Jake: So we had to do Sunrise which we were kind of nervous about
Dools: A lot of people who listen to this show, they've been up for maybe about half an hour
Jake: Absolutely, well believe me I know how you feel, I really do
Dools: So they don't know what Sunrise is
Jake: Well sunrise is a time when the sun breaks over the horizon and causes a thing called day which you are experiencing right now.
Dools: Yeah right
Jake: To celebrate that the humans have put together this sort of program called Sunrise and it's based on the American "Today Show" so it's very kind of glitzy looking and everyone is like "mmm nice to talk to you guy I've only just met and read the press release on" etc. Yeah and so it's a weird place for us to be. Unlike Triple J we don't know them that well and all that kind of stuff, and also its pressure to do it. It's TV and it's live and you freak out
Stav: PRESSURE!
Jake: So we thought "What are we going to do?" SO we went in, you know I thought I'm not a great singer or anything, although Stav is
Stav: heeey! cmon!
Jake: No no it's okay. Hey nation, don't call in and make me feel better, you can do that on facebook, wait for the status update.
Jake: We got Manchoir to do the vocal cause i thought it was going to be a kinda dry or whatever and wanted it to sound good so they came in and did it and they're all friends of ours who are comedians and you know the group
Dools: yeah yeah
Stav: and tradies and stage managers
Jake: and they look like men, MEN they have beards and singlets and stuff. And anyway it was really funny, we did the song and it went well and at the end of the song I'd planned, just cause i figure you've got to get something in there dont you. It's live TV its a mainstream audience, you want to freak them out a bit
Dools: Not sure Ricky Lee has this attitude when she's does Sunrise
Jake: No doubt she does weird stuff in her personal life and i think she should bring it up more
Dools: Right
Jake: So the point is at the end of the song, it was all good they sang well, then I turned around and kissed my friend Liam, ah, right on the mouth with a bit of tongue, you know
Dools: and Liam is ah, this is a mutual friend of ours
Jake: yeah Liam Nesbitt, yeah a fantastic one
Dools: He is one of the hairiest men in Australia
Jake: Yeah he is a blokey man and he has false teeth cause his teeth all fell out at one stage, got knocked out or whatever, so he has these false teeth. I wanted him to pull out the false teeth and have nice long bits of drool on them and then to really hoe in with the tongue.
Dools: mmm
Stav: He is very hairy. Kissing his face is like kissing my arse
Jake: Do you know what can I say, and I've done both, it is an accurate comparison. But he doesn't have a vertical mouth. His outh is definitely on the side
Dools; Horizontal
Jake: Yeah horizontal thank you. But I have to say, it wasn't that weird. They did however cut straight to an album image
Dools: Yeah they did
Jake: Basically I turned around and did it straight away and the you heard everyone on the floor go
Stav: HO HO HO HO
Dools: HA HA HA HA
Jake: and then the album title came up and Kochie and Mel kind of walked over to have a chat and they both like kind of 'oooo hey aaaah wooow? How about that, ahhh?'
Stav: You freaky kids!
Jake: Exactly and I think they thought it was over and then I went for Kochies midrift with my hands
Dools: You went for, you tried to touch Kochie?!?
Jake: Yeah tried to grab a bit of jawish . .
Stav: But you can't just go for Kochie
Jake: No no you can't. He was really out of there like a figure skater, on the balls of his feet. Out of there!
