men of last call

- Current Callboys -

Niiamah "Nemo" Ashong '08 | Bass

Nemo Ashong

Pennsauken, NJ
Economics

Everyone knows Nemo. Look at that face. You've met him. He's given you that swanky smile and danced his debonaire badonk for you at some time, I'm sure. If you want to know why it's Nemo and not Niiamah, you can ask him, but we can put it up here anyway. You see, when he sings those low bass notes under the water, fish come swarm around him. Once, he sneezed and badly injured a clownfish who, in turn, inspired a Disney/Pixar exec. to write a film about him. Nemo sure is inspiring, and if you don't believe us, just let him hug you. Don't worry, he's clean.

Solo: Witchcraft, I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues, What you know (about that), September, If I Ain't Got You, Good Life

Gary "Snake!!" Esses '10| Tenor II

Gary Esses

Brooklyn, NY
Eyebrows Research

Gary doesn't like you. If you want proof, just talk to him. While he might seem very cordial, you have to pay attention to a few things. 1) He's from New York, so he's automatically got Mafioso written all over him. and C) He's got angry eyebrows. Undeniable proof, and though he might try to deny it, punch him in the jaw and you'll quickly learn. Jerk. Gary sings loud and proud, and isn't afraid to push the envelope of performance art. During one performance, Gary tried to strip off all his clothes during the City of Blinding Light's bridge. We had to stop the song and carry Gary off the stage. The audience got real rowdy real fast, so we were forced to finish the song without a soloist. *Awkward Turtle*

Solo: City of Blinding Lights, Where the Streets Have No Name

Cory "K-Felt" Felder '11| Baritone

Cory Felder

San Diego
non-major

Although he claims to be from San Diego, Cory is actually from San Diago, which is the capital of Germany. He has spent most of his life on a whaling vessel off the coast of Alaska, where he participated in several high school musicals, one of which became the artistic inspiration for the critically acclaimed "High School Musical 2." This year, he was the first student ever to arrive at Cornell by boat, bringing with him several native traditions from his childhood, including step-dancing and Pole-vaulting. Be sure to look for samples of these hot new moves at Cory's first performance!

Solo: Long December, Lean on Me, Breaking Up

Kevin "KageRage" Gammariello '09 | Tenor I

Kevin Gammariello

Webster, New York
Applied Economics and Management

As the group's avid republican, Kevin brings a chilled out, anything-goes, banana-lime flavor to the group. One thing you may not know about KageRage is that he was the three-time lightweight wrestling champion of Skaneateles, NY. His trademark was jumping on his opponents' backs and sinking his venom-encrusted teeth into the spine of any Tom, Dick, Jane, or Butch. Don't mess with this gentleman; he'll bankrupt your soul.

Solo: Twenty-Something, Build me up Buttercup

Brian "Herdog" Herdeg '10| Tenor I

Brian Herdeg

Acton, MA
Engineering Physics

No one knows pizza like Brian "The Big Zamboni" Herdeg. In addition to singing, Brian enjoys blueprinting new designs for roller-arcades, and delicately inserting small micro-viruses into your favorite pepperoni pizza. This way, he can keep tabs on all his favorite people, like you. If you were to ask Brian what his favorite song was, he would punch you in the gut, force-feed pizza down your throat, and then tell you, "What is Love" by Haddaway. Don't mess with this googly-eyed sweety-pie.

Solo: Snakes on a Plane, Keep Your Hands to Yourself, Bend and Break

Tyler "Herbal T." Herman '09 | Bass

Tyler Herman

Silver Spring, MD
Astrophysics of Sorcery in Mid-18th Century Latvia SLASH Theatre Arts, and Not the Other Way Around

Tyler was born with the hair of a champion. He first competed in the Hair Olympics at the young age of 7, but was beat out during the hair vault by a Swedish grunge band star, who later tested positive for hair steroids. Today, Tyler is a bright young man with his award winning fro still in tact. He has found a home with Last Call, one free of the horrid competition of the Pantene Pro V team that has cut so many hairletes careers into shambles.

Solo: Doesn't Matter, Final Countdown, Breaking Up

Mickey "Crazy Mikey" McDonald '10| Tenor I

Mickey McDonald

Rochestah, NY
Phun with Physics

Mickey loves blankets. Mickey loves Greece. Mickey loves Yanni. But most of all, Mickey loves fries. In fact, he invented fries in the late 1930s in the small town of Gary, Indiana. His fries were so delicious that soon travelers from all over visited the small town to taste McDonald's Fries. Spurred by this success, Mickey decided to open a chain of restaurants, that would provide fries and other artery-clogging forms of sustenance. Backed by several confused oil giants, who thought the fries would be packed not with canola oil, but with gasoline, all Mickey McDonald needed was a name. And thus, lady and gentleman, Burger King was born. And then Mickey joined Last Call. And we really like him. Especially because of the free burgers.

Solo: I Wear My Sunglasses Cold as Ice, Getting Better

Andrew "tha sinistah" Minster '11| Baritone

Andrew Minster

Jersey
Being a new guy

One day, while fishing aboard his 8-foot yacht in the open sea, Andrew managed to catch a glimpse of the largest bass he had ever seen. Unable to contain his desire to catch the bass, he dove into the ocean, missing the bass altogether. He did, however, manage to catch a baritone (the one from San Diago, who had fallen overboard while whaling). Three years later, Andrew auditioned for Last Call, and tried to bribe everyone with ice cream and playful anticdotes. It worked, and until this day Andrew is still the master of witty lines and innovative dance routines.

Solo: Breaking Up

Hyeongsu "Big Rick" Park '11| Tenor II

Hyeongsu Park

Seoul, South Korea
Bio-Engineering

A haiku about Hyeongsu:

Hyeong-Su sings so well,
He puts the soul back in Seoul,
That is hard to do.


And now a limerick:

Hyeong-Su likes to sing
His voice like angels ring
It sound'd so well,
Inhibition fell,
The skirts they were a-lifting. The end.

Solo: Tearin' Up My Heart, Won't Go Home Without You

Ted "There we go!" Pines '08| Tenor II

Ted Pines

Vestal, NY
Industrial and Labor Relations

Ted has wowed audiences far and wide with his impressive vocal abilities and tambourine stylings. Ted introduced himself to Last Call as a "mime with the ability to sing while smiling". We didn't quite know what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised when he started juggling during one performance of The Sweetest Thing. Ted enjoys long skips to my lou, slip 'n slides on a sunny day, and pogo-sticking the national anthem on one of those large floor pianos (like in the movie, Big).

Solo: The Sweetest Thing, Everyday, Grace Kelly

Jeremy "Mensch" Siegman '09 | Tenor II

Jeremy Siegman

Jupiter
Government

Jeremy brings together the two worlds of hip-hop and philosophy with his unique take on swing dancing. Born and raised in the far-away mystical land of Jersey, Jeremy has been awarded three purple hearts, the Pulitzer Prize for A Cappella for penning the music to the world's first A CappellOpera in Db minor, and a medal of merit for helping countless old ladies order pizza from Brian Herdeg's pizza parlor. When asked how he gains the courage to aid helpless strangers, Jeremy replied, 'Sup, girl.' Honorable words for an honorable man.

Solo: Drops of Jupiter, Tearin' Up My Heart, Horizon Song, You're Beautiful, Rocksteady, Celebration, Can't Tell Me Nothing

Aaron Sprecher "Dim-doh" '11| Bass

Aaron Sprecher

Philly, PA
College of Undecided

Aaron has the posture of a champion and the eyes of a little Norweigian child who has just seen his first Elephant race. Aaron auditioned for Last Call thinking it was a weight-lifting club, and we told him singing was actually a good way to build up strength in your upper-leg muscles, so he does squats a lot. Don't tell him otherwise. In his free time, Mr. Sprecher enjoys frolicking in the countrysides of the aforementioned Norway and acting out break-up scenes with himself. His favorite eye color is green and his preferred book of choice, ideally, is Soap Weekly Compilation: Issues May 1989-May 1999.

Solo:Lean on Me, Good Morning, Breaking Up

Brian "Llama" Stilwell '09 | Baritone

Brian Stilwell

Lansing, NY
Natural Resources and Biology

Don't let this Callboy's goofy smile fool you. Brian is actually a blackmarket llama merchant from the East Indies. He'll be quick to sucker you into purchasing one of his low-price, low-quality llamas. For real quality, talk to Sang. So fans beware: when Brian "the slimy sloth" Stilwell shoots you that irresistable gaze during a performance, guard your wallets or forever be stuck with a smelly, green-tongued llama.

Solo: Barely Breathing, Hemorrhage, Big Yellow Taxi

Jonny "I like tight harmonies" Wong '08 | Bass

Jon Wong

Hong Kong
Psychology and Dance

Jon, sometimes confused with former Callboy Jonny Wong '00, is actually quite a different kind of Callboy. The first to occupy Last Call's three most important positions: Pitch, Fosse, and Guy-with-the-most-cojones, Jon also writes original music in the style of international pop and sex icon (but not necessarily in that order), Ricky Martin. If you want to see Jon and he's not hypothetically in Paris or Spain, just drop by the clocktower, where he has been known to occasionally play the chimes in true hunchback style, while dancing to "Golddigger."

Solo: End of the Road, Title of the Song, Glory Bound, Streets of Philadelphia, Jump Jive an' Wail, Blinded by the Light, My Love, Lost Without You, Used to Love U
