MARTY CASEY & LOVEHAMMERS
TO RELEASE SELF-TITLED DEBUT
FAN FAVORITE FROM ROCK STAR: INXS SERIES
TO RELEASE MAJOR LABEL DEBUT IN JANUARY
ALBUM TO FEATURE CASEY’S MEGA-POPULAR HIT "TREES"
Marty Casey & Lovehammers, longtime favorites on Chicago rock scene, recently amassed a few million new fans thanks to lead singer Marty Casey’s remarkable run on this summer’s hit television show Rock Star: INXS. Over the course of the series, Casey’s electrifying performances made him a fan favorite, and his hook-happy single, "Trees," was a No. 1 download on MSN.com. On January 24th, the band will give fans an amped-up version of "Trees" and other exciting new tracks with the release of their major label debut, MARTY CASEY & LOVEHAMMERS.
Marty Casey & Lovehammers will be performing these songs as the opening act on INXS’ highly anticipated "Switched On" tour, which launches January 18th at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, BC.
"Talk about starting the year off right," laughs Casey. "January sees us releasing our first album and hitting the road as part of a major tour. That pretty much takes care of my entire Christmas wish list."
Casey founded Lovehammers (rounded out by guitarist Billy Sawilchik, bassist Dino Kourelis and drummer Bobby Kourelis) when he was 14. Over the course of the past several years, the quartet has opened for Nickelback, Jerry Cantrell, Interpol, New Found Glory, and most recently, Cake and Gomez on a 21-city tour. In 2004, their DVD Live/Raw debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard DVD chart.
