Cara (you are a doll..thank u!) at 97.9 THE LOOP in Chicago shared this with me via email. She did the interview with Marty today and told me a few things he said off air. These things didn't make it to air only due to time constraints. She also gave me permission to post this.
1 He and JD do get along really well
2 Several of the contestants did get recording contracts including Jordis and he is helping her now with her new album.
3 Marty has been approached and is "considering" being the Headline Act for the RockStar INXS tour with the top 5 contestants (excluding JD of course). That would be Mig, Suzi, Jordis, and Ty. He said he feels he would like to give something back to the show for treating him so well.
Bare in mind..he is only considering it right now so this is not set in stone. That tour would be November and December, before the INXS world tour begins.
I do not know if the other singers have agreed to this yet, either, so it looks like a work in progress for all of them right now. But stay tuned!

He's going to be booked solid for the next 6-9 months depending upon how long legs of the INXS tours are. When will LH have time to record another album??  I guess this is a good Dino question. |

Thats a good question Amy. October maybe?? Although OCT would be required to rehearse for this tour..unless he can find a way to do both. I feel for him...so many offers...and commitments..so little time!! Then where is the time to rehearse with Lovehammers before INXS tour in January? I dunno...its probably one of the reasons it's still "under consideration" right now.

Hmm, I have mixed feelings about Marty doing the RS: INXS Tour. Don't get me wrong, I always welcome an opportunity to see Marty perform. But I was hoping Marty and the Lovehammers would come out with a new album sooner than later....I think that would be more important than trying to help MB make more money. But if he does decide to do the RS Tour (it is so AI :-)...then I am there :-)

Thank you for that info. I think it would be nice for all the other contestants and their fans. He is going to be crazy busy but he has the energy and it takes a lot of energy to be STAR !!

Just listened to a recap of the interview today. Love hearing Marty's voice. I get that he misses Chicago, but I hope he relizes what a worldwide phenomenon he's become. Obviously, he was willing to explore other options besides being with the Lovehammers. Don't get me wrong, I think they sound great as a band-but, obviously hadn't hit the big time. Hopefully, Marty will think about all his options and be willing to take some risk. Selfishly, I hope he does do a Rockstar tour. The more Marty the better.

I wonder if the band would be included if he did do the Rockstar Tour? If so, I would imagine the songs would be covers plus a couple of originals. Would Lovehammers have time to learn this or would they just play when Marty is on stage. Lots of unanswered questions.

Hmmm... that is a good question. Seems maybe it would be with the house band. I'd rather see him focus on LH. But it would be a good opportunity to gain more fans and exposure.

wheeeeee! I hope Marty does the concert!! We wouldn't have to wait for the INXS tour to see our beloved magnificent Marty! Please Marty pleeeeease do it! If I don't get to see you perform live soon I might self destruct. Pfffft. Set to explode into a gazillion pieces. I'm lost without Marty.

I would run to see a concert with those 5. It would be terrific! However I don't know how Marty could do this, write and record new songs with Lovehammers and prepare for the INXS tour. He would be run ragged. I want to see as much Marty as possible, yet I want him to do what is right for his career.

Absolutely right. My selfishness aside, I too would want Marty to do what's best for himself. Surely he is being pulled in every direction, how overwhelming it all must be!

I thought I had heard that the offer was for Lovehammers to open the INXS tour. Not the ex-contestants line up. That's disappointing. I was really hoping that Marty and his band would get the spotlight. I would still be excited to see Marty solo, and Jordis and whoever. But would rather see Marty and LH.
The rehashing of the show thing isn't quite as interesting. And it would take Marty away from the band and moving forward on new music, recording and gigs together. Guess we'll have to see what turns out.

If this does happen, I think Marty will bring the LH with him. He's been with them too long to bail. And remember, big emphasis on CONSIDERING.
Marty's been around longer than some of the other contestants have.

This is just my understanding...but remember there are TWO different Concerts. THe INXS world tour concert, in which the LOVEHAMMERS will be opening starting after New Years...and The RockStarINXS Concert..which only goes two months...Nov and Dec. I do not believe Lovehammers would be involved in the RockStarINXS show..because they didn't have a part on the show. MARTY would be headliner himself..supported by Jordis, Ty, Mig, and Suzie. That is how I understand it..but hey, I've been wrong before.

To msd2k:
I think you are correct--we're talking two different events.

Whatever concert or gig he chooses to be in, I sincerely hope he comes down to Singapore or at least some Asian country or Australian state like Perth. I don't think I'll be able to afford the air ticket to LA or Chicago!
But yes, like a few of you wrote, Marty has to be careful not to run himself out. There's nothing worse than having a burn out when you are on the brink of global domination. But I'm sure Marty has a good head on his shoulders.
