A tribute to Baywatch and Mortal Kombat Cosplay
Jay was honoured to be asked this week to participate in an international cosplay project and decided to do another bin video. A funny video that tributes the great show Baywatch with a team of bins. We are having some fun during isolation with cosplay characters The Hoff and Nightwolf being brought out to showcase some fun in these unknown times. Jay even took the time to do a public service announcement .... there's enough toilet paper for all
Macho Macho man... we we taking the bin out... as the Macho man
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is going to end, i don't think so... why not be a new recruit and be a macho man and macho lady... get your disco on and dance the night away again.... with the bin of course.

The Bin isolation Outing ....
an maybe a new character...
Walk like the Bangles of the 80's and many more
an maybe a new character...
Walk like the Bangles of the 80's and many more
So they say that you may go crazy in isolation, but I think... its makes you a greater person, more creative and maybe... new ideas and a new journey
A popular phenomenon on Facebook sees people taking the bins out for their daily outing... A fantastic and fun concept, so why not get involved and enjoy
Want to find the site, just go to facebook and type in "Bin Isolating Outing"
When we are forced into a corner it gets us out of our comfort zone and gives us some of our best in us.
The New Recruits, this is definitely the case....
Its been great to create new videos, new ideas and just have fun again...…
Lets go and dance like we did in the 80's... and dance with Sussanah Hoffs of the Bangles
It's time to Walk like an Egyptian, Baywatch and many more

Finding some fun amongst the Mayhem
We are having some really bad times. My heart goes out to everyone at this time who is finding it tough. It's not enough to say it's going to be ok, because right now it's not.
In the light of this.. I started a little fun on Facebook called a "A Daily Dose of Cool", the name given to me from my manager and close friend Big Daddy Julian James
Once one of the most despised teams in Australian Wrestling, Stephan Cool "The most Beautiful Man in the Cosmos", the master of the purple rain elbow and the "Goodnight Gaelan" sleeper, decided to cosplay his characters while working at home.
From Baywatch to Revenge of the Nerds, The Fiend Bray Wyatt from WWE, 80's rock star Lexxi Foxx from Steel Panther (aka Stephan Cool) and went down to Claymore country with his new Drew McIntyre T-Shirt
To everyone, especially my friends who are feeling it, I send you all the love and support and you know I am a phone call or message away.

Kryal Castle Photo Shoot
A fantastic photo shoot this weekend. Kryal Castle was the place and it was a wonderful site to get this shoot done. The Dungeon, the cemetery, the maze and other medieval idols. Whether be at night, during the day the characters Nightwolf and The Fiend Bray Wyatt were showed up to be great characters and I hope we can do it one day.
(Note : The Graves were fake and props as part of the attraction of the castle)

Supanova...Another Raging Success
Supanova came and went so quickly. Two days of meeting and greeting people and of course making a lot of new friends along the way. Jay debuted the Mortal Kombat 11 Nightwolf as well as his rendition of David Hasselhoff from Baywatch. He did save his favourite till last. On Sunday Bray Wyatt, The Fiend was seen creeping around the show grounds looking for someone to play with...Hahahaha.
No, it was fantastic to finally get the character that he has been so excited to show the world and it was very well received. Thank you very much to the organisers of the Melbourne Cosplay Group who again were amazing and we are so proud to be apart of them

YMCA comes to the Moonee Valley Festival
A twilight performance but the crowd loved it all. German Silva and his band embraced the crowd by performing some great songs with a latin feel. The people were buzzing and then to finish, what else why not get everyone up dancing and get Jay from the New Recruits up to close the show with YMCA. I had a ball and thank you to German and the organisers who set up this event and allowed us to entertain the masses

Australia Day Parade 2020 with Melbourne Costume Group
Its always a pleasure to be involved with like minded people who just get together to have a great time. That's what the Australia Day Parade was for me yesterday. My first one with Melbourne Costume Group. Thank you to the organisers for having me apart of the day. It was another highlight for this New Recruit.
The MISFITS play up a Christmas Storm
Nothin' like having a good time when you hit the stage. Indirect cosplay of Thasher from the WWE tag Tem the HeadBangers, Jay and his band of merry cohorts played up a storm at a local Primary School. The Christmas spirit was alive with the band showing off their talents in 30 degree heat. Whipping out two classics, It's my life by Bon Jovi and everyone's fave, The Pokémon theme along with some hats of course. All enjoyed the time, especially the band. Next year will be bigger and better.... and maybe another character.....

Another day in the life of this New Recruit
Another day in the life of this New Recruit
Three big events this last week had the New recruits schedule full up...but that's the way we always like it
A Northern suburbs school held a mini fete and the New Recruits were asked to perform and help with MC duties. Marcel and Jay played some classics such as Perfect by Ed Sheeran and their rendition of Guns n Roses classic Sweet Child o' mine and the Cure's Friday I'm in Love. We really enjoyed the time to help raise funds for the school and we hope in the future there are more opportunities to help the community like this. So we move onto the 80's mania show where a meet and greet with the lead singer of the Flock of Seagulls was the main attraction but then came Pseudo Echo. They took over the stage and the crowd lapped up every moment. Great performances followed with Weng Chung/ Cutting Crew and Go West whipped out some classics to end the show. A time to remember or it a life I still lead....there's always a question. Finally, Jay becomes Aussie Big John and joins Aussie Bret Michaels and his great friends of Poizon'us : Australian Poison show along with Bon Jovi Forever and Circus Dust at Musicland. Once again they all tore up the stage and showed why they are 3 of the best tribute acts in this country today. We reflect on these times, but they are some of the best times of our lives and memories that will last forever. |
Let me in Adelaide Supanova…..Debut of the Fiend
John Travolta, Billy Zane, Julie Benz and "The Fiend"...Yes, Jay decide to make Adelaide the place where to debut his new character of Bray Wyatt...
The Hottest star who is now universal champion, Jay decide to see how the character would go and it was a success. Thank you to all the people and friends who I have met at other cons who got photos. Living the dream, just being happy. John Travolta was awesome, Billy Zane, he couldn't work out who the Fiend was or whether I was a demon from his time in Charmed. Julie Benz, didn't disappoint, such a beautiful person. Thank you again.

Enter The Fiend....
A new WWE character that gets me excited. Superstars like The Ultimate Warrior, Sting, Bret the HItman Hart are some of my favourites but we all love to be a little scared. The dark part of us likes to come out and this character has hit the world as the Undertaker did.
Brilliantly done skits on Monday Night Raw, with the Firefly Fun house. The detail taken was and still in intriguing but some what captivating. "I walk the path that I see as mine and I see you in the distance and inspired as a performer and actor, it's just brilliant...… Thank you Bray Wyatt (@wweBraywyatt) Welcome The Fiend |

Lots of fun, excitement and laughs were had as people battled it out in the trivia challenge. We had suburban rock stars come out and of course our favourite, dress ups. Thank you to Tracey who organised all the nights proceedings. On a personal note I just wanted to extend our thanks to all the great people who supported the night.

Royal Children Hospital : Good Friday Appeal 2018
The New Recruits have a yearly tradition to perform at the "Kids Day Out" Good Friday Appeal, 2018.
Assisting the great performers of Bop till you Drop Victoria (www.boptillyoudrop.com.au/), children of all ages lived out a dream by singing and dancing their favorite songs.
