WHAT'S UP!
Ok my psycho friends - I have some time before we hit soundcheck to let ya'll know what's been happening.

Quick recap: The record is out, the shows have been great, met tons of new fans and INXS has been awesome to us. So far, everything's really freakin' cool.

I know most of you just care about the booze, rock and sex. The answer is........come backstage and find out!

I'll be back soon - duty calls.

Bobby - OUT

GOOD TIMES
OK - I'm sitting backstgage in Denver waiting to get the call for soundcheck, so I figured I'd check in with everyone.

We just had a killer week of shows finishing up with two in LA on Friday, and Vegas on Saturday. I can't believe how crazy it was in the Viper Room the other night. The energy in that place could have knocked the balls off a charging rhino. Mandalay Bay - have mercy! It was great to see so many friends and family in Sin City. Speaking of that, having family there kept me away from sin. Very unlike me when in Vegas. I'LL BE BACK!

So two weeks into this tour, and feeling pretty good. I can't believe the support we've been getting on the road. Care packages have been saving our ass. Home made T-shirts, flyers, anything - awesome. Thanks for the continued support - we really appreciate it all. For the street teamers........you guys kick ass!! Doing what you do, spreading the love, the word and the music, all I can say is you ROCK!!

Just got news we are on the front page of Itunes. Pretty cool. All of this is impossible without your support.

After tonight's show, it's back to the Midwest. We head for St. Charles (St. Louis), KC, Minneapolis and CHICAGO. Day off after Chicago, so we intend on mixing it up after the show and getting a bit crazy. Who's in?

Bobby - out!!

Back in Canada
Alright - In Toronto. Tonight is round 2 before we head to Detroit. Used to the cold, so it's all good.

As you know, we were back in Chicago for 5 nights last week. Good thing is we were able to set up our own show at Joe's and still play the Chicago Theater with INXS. Bad thing is I spent all my money and drank too much. Thank God we are back on the road.

Thanks to all of you who came out to Joe's on such a last minute deal. Really cool to hang with so many people at Hard Rock and Rockit Saturday night. The Virgin in-store: Great to see so many people out on a cold Saturday afternoon. The acoustic shows are fun for us to play - gives us a chance to mix it up a bit.

OK mis amigos - bus call in 30 mins. Gotta get my shit together.

Laters,

Bobby

DAY OFF
Holy crap - a day off and I don't know what to do with myself. In Norfolk, VA after a week of shows. Any suggestions?

Anyway, everything's been going well. Spent some time in NYC, which is always cool. CBGB'S was a bad ass show. Glad we got to play it before it gets closed down.

Once again, it's really cool to meet so many of you after the shows.

To answer a question many of you have....... Not quite sure what our touring plans are going to be after this first leg with INXS, but we'll update the tour section as soon as we find out. Whatever we do, let's keep this thing rockin' and rolling!

HEY STREET TEAM.....GREAT JOB - THANKS!!!!!!!!

Florida

Just got done with soundcheck and hanging on the bus in Jacksonville. Good to be in some warm weather.....yee haw!!!
Actually had a few moments to check the boards yesterday, some pretty interesting/funny stuff.
To those of you who asked, I am better now. Flu, food poisoning, not sure, but there's nothing like some violent puking before, after and almost during a couple shows to keep you honest.
In Clearwater tomorrow. Not sure if it's gonna be beach weather, but luckily my speedo's are packed just in case!

Now What?!?!?

I know it's been a while, but it's the life of a nomad. I'm actually using Dan's computer since my trusty Treo sucks ass. I gotta buy a computer this week for sure!!

Just getting back to normal mentally after tour and one hell of a Vegas weekend - my liver may need a few more weeks.

Recap - last show of the tour, we have a brief meeting with INXS, exchange thank you's, good luck etc...then, it begins settling in - this is it! Holy crap, that went by fast. I'm glad we got the opportunity to do the tour and meet/hang with them and their crew - really good guys.

All in all, it was a great ride. I was proud of our band for trying our hardest to kick ass night after night. Having a great crew on the road with us (Ted, Dan, Randy, Jeremy and Brian), made it much easier.

Thanks to all the new and old fans who made it out to the shows!! Street teamers, ya'll rock baby!! To all the people who gave us food on the road, mainly the dessert stuff, thanks for making it much more difficult to get my ass back in shape!!!!

Vegas - 4 nights of Holy S***! I'm sure we shaved some time off our life expectancies. Anyway, good times, fun show at the Hard Rock, and got to see/meet Hootie and the Blowfish and the mighty Bon Jovi. Yes mighty, cause that band does something to women I have never seen before. Saturday night, Dino, Marty and I got to check out their show and head over to their private post party in a suite at the Hard Rock. Totally cool night all the way around.

Next week - head to LA and try and take care of some business, seeing where the next chapter takes us.

Till then, ROCK ON!!!!!

See you next round,

Bobby

Loved the whole thing, but this part in particular !

[melj]

Pleading for Bobby to make a side trip down here while in LA. It's sooo close!

[chk]

I don't think Bobby needs to worry about the shape of his ass. If he likes, I can help keep an eye on it for him? (oops, stepping on some toes here? that job may be taken already!)

Hey, you can be in charge of him when he's on your side of the world. ;D

[hammerheadfl]

I'll show him what muscles to pump when he's in Florida.... Did I just say that? LOL

DIARY


March 28, 2006
Sad Day in LA

As many of you know, I, we lost a very special person in our life. Our friend Paula passed away yesterday morning.

To those of you who sent cards and flowers, you really helped lift her spirits, made her last days as pleasant as possible and we really appreciate it.

She was definitely a one-of-a-kind woman, funny and crazy. For those of you who may have met her, you know exactly what I mean.

I'll miss her, but I'm glad I was able to know such a wonderful lady.

It is sad, and it's hard knowing how much the guys are hurting right now.

Big hugs and special thoughts for you now, Bobby.

[Doc]

Here's a post from Bob on the LH.com board 4/11/06....hee hee!

Ok everyone, just trying to get it together. As some of you saw, I just posted for the first time last week, so I'm playing catch up on the PMs you've sent. I normally post in the diary section, but figured I'd mix it up a bit.
Anyway, every time I check out the boards, I just laugh my ass off!! Some of the questions /topics you have for us are pretty freakin' funny. God of Thunder? Come on now, hardly........funny though.
Just putting together plans for the next round of touring. Once it's official, we'll pass it along. So get your asses in gear, cause WE'RE F*CKING READY!! Plus, I need a place to live - ie tour bus.
Currently hanging in Boston. I think I may have even picked up an accent...crazy shit ya'll.
Laters,
Bobby

Thanks Doc for posting! Bobby w/ a Boston accent...hmmmmm...

[FlyIntoOblivion]

Thanks for posting that Doc. I'm laughing my ass off right now.

Back in Chicago

Hello my crazy maniac friends!! We made it back to Chicago after a long drive yesterday evening. Thank God for gas and piss breaks or I would have gone crazy!!
Memphis was a great time, cool city. I'm glad we got to do a full on set again (obviously been a while), and even more glad to see LH fans down in the South! It is so cool to see the support so many of you have given our band. LH headquarters set up down in Memphis for a place for fans to meet, hang, drink and help distribute our flyers, stickers etc??? THAT IS AWESOME!!! If we had any time during the day we would have come by, but waiting for setup, running back to hotel to shower and coming back for soundcheck all before 6pm, didn't leave much time for anything else. So for all those who made it to Memphis and those who keep spreading the word on Lovehammers - street teamers, mods on the message boards or people who ever mentioned our band to a friend or 10 - I can't thank you enough!!
After the show, it was cool to hang for a bit and take some some pictures. Glad to see some familiar faces as well as new ones. Hopefully, soon, we can have some drinks together. Cameron, I owe you a drumstick buddy! Rockbeast, well, party on dude. Doc, was distracted and obviously didn't get the shoulders worked on-what can I say other than I'm an idiot.
OK, so it's Saturday morning, day after the show, and not feeling 100%, due to the Friday night "celebration". Dino and I, still wearing the same clothes from the night before, hair pointing in every direction and smelling like a brewery, throw on some sunglasses and decide to get breakfast. The waitress asks if we'd like the paper to read. Not being in the mood for anything other than some omelettes and pancakes, I pass, but out of the corner of my eye, I notice a photo. I tell the waitress to bring the paper over and realize it's a picture of our crazy ass singer hanging upside down! As I take a closer look, it's not only a photo, the son of a bitch made the cover of the Memphis paper!!! There he is, in all his glory for everyone in Memphis to see. Pretty damn cool!!
So anyway, many of you are asking....what is next??? We currently have some shows booked and waiting to line up a tour. As soon as we find out, we'll let everyone know. Other than that, it's all I got. Till next time, keep your asses safe and stay out of trouble. I'll try and do the same.

Bobby
