PS: Bear in mind, we were kidnapped by the evil DJ’s of the 70 & 80s and only released to play the songs of Countdown as they truly were: “BADLY MIMED”

CAPTAIN FANCYPANTS

Captain “Fancypants”:

The lead air guitarist

Yes, our “Man from (or more likely conceived in) the Panel Van”. He still thinks he is the ants pants. Makeup, pirates clothes and manic dance attacks on stage are the norm for him. Influences of Gary Glitter (pre Vietnam) Captain Sensible, James Freud and Adam Ant. His fancy pants and groovy moves only surpassed by Sherbet when he grabs the mike stand, tended to be the leader of the crew, except when they got into trouble.  Seems to be a control freak, but does not actually have the control part of that sentence.  Was pivotal in arranging the bands release from the evil DJ’s after the band were frozen in time. Now just needs a Panel Van! Maybe a Kombi?  …….  Any clues?

LAST UPDATE:

Since they don’t make Commodore 64’s any more, he has slowly become addicted to the computer.  he keeps “twittering” and while his mum says he will go blind, he twitters with both hands and he believes he is establishing a bigger fan club base here and abroad (extended to a total of 5 people!).  WA sector of the club now established (if they ever have us back!) Brydie and Nat are badge carrying members of the CDU fanclub and we expect paid WA gigs in the near future! (7 -10 years)  Even interest from New York & Canada. If we ever find a manager to take us there!  Still is an aging pretendy Rock God (Just ask him)

Betty Boobalicious:

While looking white, she was sure she was born in Memphis or Detroit to an Afro-American parents. This caused her to refuse to look in mirrors as she denied her heritage. Definitely the soul connection within the band. However the master of solid moves and solid boobs, the dancing and miming anchor of the CDU group. Betty won the Caramello koala pole dancing competition at the Fun Factory of 1984 (under 16 division) and can really “shake ‘em down.” Her cups of talent are what she is famous for within CDU!  Betty certainly “cracks the whip” for the band, which is actually enjoyed by the Captain and Freddie!

LAST UPDATE:

Also becoming more and more aloof.  Recently opened the “Betty’s Frankston Sharpie Dance palace and studio” in Toorak and while she can stomp all night to devil gate drive and Bonie Maronie, does not seem to be pulling the classes into the studio.

Freddie Uranus:

Initially thought keyboards were a locksmiths floor. Developed early for his age and was encouraged to be the “head” of the Elton John and Freddie Mercury fan club . But this was not for our Freddie who learnt early to grow out of clothes while still wearing them. He found exercise a way of expanding through his ever tightening clothes and is still wearing his original attire from the 80’s. Still the best link to heavy metal hair band’s we have within the CDU network. Good for lifting heavy things as well.  Has “taken” to some of the Queen hits a little too much, and is becoming more and more moody as each day goes past. Still needs to learn to read!  Certainly leaves a trail of devastated fan club members behind him.

LAST UPDATE:

While Freddy’s muscles keep growing, we think his brain is shrinking.  he seems to grunt a lot more now and while he thinks he is building muscle, we would rather it be brain power.  But we have kept him around as he does lift heavy things, as seen in the photo.  And keeps the majority of the fan club “interested” with his special visits! A big hit with the “lady fans” and equals Roger Rogers fan club on Face Book in numbers!

Foxy Faberge:

A pivotal CDU member due to her excellent “developmental” stages as a young lady. Her tight skirts and the ability to imitate in dress and behavior of her favorite female stars. Is the “Clothes Horse” of 80’s fashion. She grabbed attention of the stars, by “standing out” in the front of the Radio Stations doorways, which then allowed us to develop our stalking – rather groupie skills. Be it Sam Fox, Noosha Fox or  Jimmy Hendrix near any of the Foxes of all time she is it! She is one foxy lady with a great set of “moves”.

LAST UPDATE:

Still tarting around the town.  Attempted to enter the “worlds biggest hair spray day” competition, but was disqualified after attempting to “bribe” the judges.  She forgets that the Judges are no longer drawn from the AFL/NRL anymore and her “Charm” will not work!

Roger Roger:

From this to this with “experimentation”

The once tallest member of the band, in more ways than one. Very popular around the older DJs who worked at the “talkback” and “easy listening” stations. He still believes this was due to his ‘height”. However his special “endowment” was not his only skill. He was able to tap a beat well, so got the drummers gig hands down. Also now able to count so developmentally above some of the CDU crew. Influences were any of the Rogers (there were heaps) on drums and favorite movie is of course “Flying High” (Airplane).  However while holidaying with his  new “beau” Yoko Pitstop, he was subjected to an “experiment” by her Professor Father and was shrunk in his back shed “laboratory” in a manner which can only be described as “Honey I shrunk the kids” Fashion.  While now only “pint sized”, he can still grunt and perform his Mimesational drumming skills, a hit with the chicks and now has a arm full of tattoos and a brand new mullet.

LAST UPDATE:

Still grunting & improving tattoo’s, and nearly attained the height of 5 foot!

However, it was revealed to the world that Roger Rogers nemesis, Roger Roger (the really tall one) and Yoko Pitstop (who’s Father shrunk him) have created a baby Roger .  Now there is a Roger Roger (2) AKA George Roger , shorter than our drummer!

Terry Toweling

And now for the newest official CDU member, Terry Toweling.  Terry being the most mature and level headed of all the CDU crew (also alter egos, relatives and groupies of the band) is our professional with crowd warm ups and song information.  He found the toweling material a safe place at a young age after his parents are rumored to have played “Captain Cock and the naughty wench” in front of the young child.

He is formally trained at the Finlayson (Finno) college of the Arts in Bittern, after the first introduction for the band was done by the director of same.  Terry is the “rock” of the band and due to the bands misbehavior, he often soberly provides character referee’s for things that the band needs but have been banned from having, like passports, returning to an Ansett (or was it TAA) flights, because of Betty and the pilot over WA- but that’s another tale, or even re-entering Dubbo and Tasmania which is embarrassing being turned around at the dock in Tassie.  For this reason, usually carries the travelers cheques and titles frequently required for our bail.  Note Terry rarely carries towels anymore after what Freddie has been known to do with them.

Chrissie De-Vinyl:

NOTE:  Now Missing in Action

The private school girl gone bad. Found the CDU crew while waiting for “Bowie” Tickets in the City. With her “naughty” looks, the “ace of base” took her place! Influences of the Pretenders, Divinyls and the Waitresses. She continually tries to make trouble, but always checks with the band first for permission. Has now sworn off Brandivino, Blackberry Nip and “Star Wine” due to her antics that caused her to learn the bass guitar. So now drives the “Cleave Machine” for the band.  Worrying for the band, she has taken a full time shining to a banned groupie, Peter Vicious AKA “Mr Feeler”.She can often just disappear for days, even weeks on end with this trouble maker.  She now seems to be “MIA” from the band, but her connection to the roadie assistants  “Children of the Corn” still occasionally attend & help when required.

So who is this Pete Vicious and what the hell is “Adelaide”?

LAST UPDATE:

S.O.S &  K.A.L.O.F.  Where is she?  Ever since the stalking order the band took  against “The Feeler” AKA Pete Vicious expired, she immediately disappeared with him, and other than an occasional call from the bands assistants “Children of the corn” or hair do’s for the band,  it is believed that Chryssie and Pete have taken off into the Brighton Sunset and are contemplating a life of leather, school uniforms, prayer and total harmony!  We miss you, come back.  Rumoured to have started hair dressing – Contact the band for further!

Be on the lookout – Pete Vicious is a man of MANY disguises

Lady Go GO

Bio to come!

Mike Stand Michaelson:

The new Sound Tech.  Noted for his unique ability with longer installation’s, Mike Stand got his name while helping some of the local religious schools in the area and the vicars and priest felt this name suited.   He became a groupie of the groupies, hanging around Chryssie, Foxy and Bettys Dressing rooms, and was then asked to perform certain audio and video “tasks” as the girls saw fit.  He graduated to the sound desk for the March gig, after Tripod was unable to make bail in a Western Victorian Lockup and Grip boy was off gaffering somewhere.  But Michaelson puts it all together and the length of his stamina has many tongues a wagging amongst the lady folk.

“Gripboy”

GB Driving the CDU Partridge Family Bus enroute to Puffing Billy

“Gripboy” Everyone needs a little roadie in their life! TC or grip boy was our special helper that we met while hanging around Festival hall after a “Angels” gig. His funny accents would allow us to “attract” potential “Cleevees”, then we would leave him behind. Luckily for us, he still hung around and learnt how to assemble the equipment. His accent keeps him with the band as chief Roadie and beer purchaser for the CDU ensemble. His ability to use gaffa tape still astounds us, however may be considered inappropriate or an offer of marriage in some states.

“Tripod” Rhino

Photo not available to after Court Case has been finalised!

This man is a professional sound tech – so we can’t show you his face. Mainly as we can’t hold him down long enough to get a photo! Began to hang around the band in the very early days as he said he was from the outer Melbourne suburb of Adelaide so a lot of pity was placed on him. However our “special little friend” was a real hit with the girls and after disappearing for what we were led to believe was medical school training, was actually an expulsion as an illegal visitor to the Port Macquarie Nurses Hostel. But handy with a mike and his tripod techniques have saved us on many occasions. Check, check, checkmate it is tripod rhino!  Also over supplier of alcoholic refreshments to the band.  Can be evil and may be the reason the band was cryogenetically frozen in the first place!

GROUPIES:

Early Easter pressie for our Fan Club Presidents!

Photos of the WA Club managers soon here !
