Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Band in a Bubble''''' is a TV show that consisted of round-the-clock live broadcasting, during which a band spent an extended period of time inside a "bubble," writing and recording an album.  The ''Band in a Bubble'' concept was created by Paul Curtis, a band manager, tour promoter, owner of [[Valve Records]], and visual artist based in Australia. The concept was developed in conjunction with Australian rock band [[Regurgitator]] and [[XYZ Networks]].

==Regurgitator - Melbourne (2004)==
Curtis developed the idea in 1999 as an art oriented recording project. It was conceptually stimulated by [[biosphere]]s, the idiosyncratic way Regurgitator recorded albums, and by the idea of the insular artistic recording process, juxtaposed against the extroverted performer and how that might impact on the creative mindset. Curtis initially failed to convince Regurgitator of the merits of his idea, and it was set aside for a number of years.  Quan Yeomans, the band's guitarist, noted that he became more open to the idea of being in a bubble after seeing [[David Blaine]]'s magic stunt. Yeomans told ''The Age'', "I happened to be there when David Blaine did his stunt over the Thames, and I just thought, 'wouldn't it be interesting if he was doing something creative, as opposed to just sitting around doing nothing?'"<ref>Blackman, Guy.  [http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/08/18/1092765006375.html "Reality check for boys in the bubble"]. ''[[The Age]]''.  18 August 2004.</ref>

[[File:Bubble 02.jpg|frame|Regurgitator's Bubble at Federation Square]]

With the band's interest now confirmed, Curtis approached a number of television and media outlets, eventually finalising an agreement with [[Channel V Australia]].  The first ''Band in a Bubble'' was organised in [[Federation Square]] in [[Melbourne]], [[Australia]].  Regurgitator holed up inside the glass bubble for a period of three weeks, during which they recorded the album ''[[Mish Mash!]]''  The staging began on 31 August 2004.

The activity inside the bubble could be viewed in several ways.  In person, people could watch through the bubble's walls.  Cameras positioned inside the bubble offered footage that was displayed on several large LCD screens in Federation Square and broadcast on a dedicated 24-hour digital channel on the pay-TV networks [[Foxtel]] and [[Austar]], on digital channel 802.  Channel V also carried a daily half-hour highlight show, hosted by [[video jockey|VJ]] [[Jabba (Presenter)|Jabba]].  The first of its kind, The resulting ''[[Mish Mash!]]'' is considered to be the most witnessed album recording. After three weeks, the band emerged from the bubble and performed their new songs live to a large audience in Federation Square.

Yeomans' mother Lien, a popular Vietnamese cook and author, prepared food for the band during their stay.  The food was delivered to the band through a hatch, which also served as a way for Curtis to communicate with them. An audio link-up was also located on the other side of the bubble so that visiting musicians and fans could talk to the band or record guest spots on the record.

Following the Melbourne event, the concept was licensed for development internationally by subsidiaries of [[Endemol]], the television production company responsible for such shows as ''Big Brother'' and  ''Deal or No Deal''.  Plans were soon announced for ''Band in a Bubble'' in the US and Europe.

Greg Moskovitch from Tone Deaf summarised in 2016, in the days that 'Channel V' was shut down that "Band In A Bubble stands as arguably one of the most unique moments in Australian music, the relic of a time when Channel V was a cultural force and the idea of musicians broadcasting their every thought and move was something of a novelty".<ref>https://tonedeaf.thebrag.com/band-in-a-bubble-the-greatest-thing-channel-v-ever-did/</ref>

==Cartel - New York City (2007)==
Endemol's first staging of ''Band in the Bubble'' took place in [[New York City]] and featured the pop-punk band [[Cartel (band)|Cartel]]. The show was developed in a partnership with [[MTV]], [[Dr Pepper]], and the band's label, [[Epic Records]].  The show was launched on 24 May 2007.
[[File:Bandinabubblenewyork.JPG|thumb|320px|Cartel's at Pier 54]]

The bubble was set up at [[Hudson River Park]]'s [[Pier 54]].  As before, fans were able to stop by the bubble and watch the band through the building's windows.  23 webcams were set up around the bubble and could be viewed via MTV.com and drpepperbubble.com.  MTV broadcast four half-hour specials.<ref>Gundersen, Edna. [https://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2007-04-22-cartel_N.htm "Cartel bursts the marketing bubble"]. ''[[USA Today]]''. 22 April 2007.</ref>  During the series, the group Cartel recorded their self-titled album ''[[Cartel (Cartel album)|Cartel]]'', the follow-up to their 2005 debut album ''[[Chroma (album)|Chroma]]''.

The bubble was created using 55,000 pounds of steel truss and quarter-inch-thick fireproof rigid [[fiberglass]].  The bubble contained a ((convert|2000|sqft|m2|adj=on)) recording studio, as well as a kitchen, dining room, lounge area, and bathroom.  The band's sleeping area was on the top level, which was held nine feet in the air by airplane hangar cables.<ref>Nordyke, Kimberly. [http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3i22635e34795b66819fae3c94862dc41c "Rockers Cartel record album in MTV bubble"].  ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]''. 23 April 2007.</ref>

On 3 June 2007 Cartel's front window was broken by striking winds coming from Pier 54, exactly ten days after they had first entered the bubble.

The staging concluded on 12 June, when the band exited the bubble and performed the new album live.
