The Cover Up

2009 Credits

The Cover Up would like to thank all those involved in helping us put on the best show possible. So to Tony and Michael, Murph, Disco Doug and Ben thanks for the great sound you guys consistently get for us. Also, BIG thanks to Jeff, who stepped in at very short notice and did a great job filling in for Steve while he was doing the new dad thing.

Merry Xmas from The Cover Up

Hi Everyone! Well another year is almost over. Once again, we were stoked to be asked to play at various Xmas parties around the place...Westmead ICU, Wyong Hospital and the Workcover Social Club amongst them. We had a blast as usual. We'd like to wish everyone who came along to our shows this year a happy and safe Xmas and we hope to see you around next year.

Girls Night In

The Cover Up recently played for the "Girls Night In" at Avoca. We were honoured to be asked to support this great cause and hope to do so again in the future. Big Thanks to our sound guys Michael "The Claw" Murphy, Ben and Doug for also donating their time for this event.

Happy Birthday!

Congrats to Rob...who reached a very significant milestone last week. His party was awesome and unearthed a rising star. Jake "Babyface" Bracher put in a performance on Black Dog that would make Robert Plant hang up his leather pants for good! Check out his performance on You Tube here!

Halley & Mellowes Christmas Party

Big Thanks to Murray and Julie for having us play at the Halley and Mellowes "Beach" Christmas Party. Dressing up was fun and performing to an eager bunch of your employees was great.

The event didn't go without its share of disasters. I think I can speak for everyone in the band, it's the first time any of us have had a sound desk blow up at a gig. Some quick thinking and very sensible driving from "SUPER DRUMMER" and all round good guy ROB McKAY got us back on track with a new desk in under an hour.

I'm going to take this as a compliment cause I'm a positive kind of guy, but one of the smiling punters was reported as saying "You were so good, I'd have you play at my funeral". Thanks again for being such a top crew and HAPPY 21st ALICE!!!!!

Cath's 40th

We battled extreme circumstances including Wind, Rain, Small children wanting "The Wiggles", a muddy backyard, awesome views and a flashing party goer to get the entire party going. YOU GUYS ROCKED!!!!!!!. Sorry we couldn't stick around for the skinny dipping! I think after that gig we should be calling ourselves Wedding's, Party's and 40th's.

WorkCover Christmas Party

For a bunch of public servants, that crew at WorkCover really know how to drink, I mean party. Thanks again for having us and we'd love to party with you again. Once again, photo's of your Chrissy party should be up sometime soon.

Avoca Beach Pub

We kicked off a very busy silly season with an awesome Gig at Avoca Beach Pub. Thanks HEEEEAAAAAPPPPPSSSSS for all who came along. Thanks a bunch to Richard and Chris for your wicked pics, we'll be getting them up on the site very soon. For those of you who don't know, we've got a rebook at Avoca Beach Hotel on the 28th of December and NOT because of Michael W's superior drunken waffling, I mean negotiation, skills.
