While on tour, MartyCasey.com caught up with Marty in Johnson City, TN for an exclusive interview. Photographer Tricia Gillis was also on-hand and captured the afternoon in pictures. Read the interview and see the pics here.

While performing Saturday night, August 9 at Goodfellas in Pottsville, PA, Marty Casey collided onstage with the head of Tracii Guns guitar. Marty received a gash to the head and was taken for medical attention. After an hour and a half trip to the ER, Marty received 5 staples to close the gash. Tracii accompanied Marty to the ER and sat waiting with him throughout the ordeal. There were also fans waiting at the hospital. Marty expressed his appreciation to Tracii and the fans for their concern. Marty sent his assurances that “the show will go on” and no dates will be missed. Photographer Tony Fiore was on hand at the Pottsville show and caught the shot. (Warning: not for young, impressionable eyes or for anyone who is squeamish at the site of blood.) View here.
