Some of us have expressed an interest in Marty and Lovehammers ringtones. Do you know if there is anything in the works?

Hi Dino,
Thanks so much for taking your time to do this Q&A, it really means a lot to the fans. As you can see, Marty has started this frenzy and everyone is catching on. Like yourself and others, I am glad that he did not get the INXS gig. Now, we can see Marty and the LHs express themselves freely.
Anyway, Dino I'm just wondering how this INXS tour thing will happen? When will it start and how long will you be touring with INXS? When do you think your next album will be coming out? I'm sure you will start recording before the tour starts off next year.
Let us know.
You guys rock!

Dino, Hi from San Francisco...I just got L'Strange and I cannot take it off the CD player. I have listened to some samples of Murder on My Mind but it will be a while before Amazon.com sends me my copy. You are one amazing outfit and I really look forward to your next recording. My question is: Apart from the DVD LiveRAW have you ever recorded any of your gigs? Do you think you can put out a live album of your performances? I am asking because the band sounds authentic, fun and just rocks, but you never know, with Marty becoming so popular, if you might make the next release a little more "palatable" for a national and international audience. In any case, it is understandable, you deserve to hit the big time because you ALL ROCK!!!  Asthmatic's last breath....  |

Do you all have some new songs already written? Will they be on the next album?
Tell Marty we are happy he came in second! It's like there are two packages under the tree. One appears to be really good--it is big and is wrapped in fancy paper. Then there is a smaller one. When you open that smaller one, you find a diamond inside! The fancy paper and the big box go in the trash at the end of the day--what matters is what is inside. Getting to have the exposure and then come back to tour with the Lovehammers is the diamond! Congratulations to you all! We're glad Marty went on the show so we could be introduced to him, but glad he is back with you all. I have listened to your music and you rock--plus if you are a friend of Marty's, you must also be really cool!

Hi Dino, First I want to say I'm grateful to INXS for showing us the Lovehammers, you are all awesome and I can't wait to see you all become famous very soon!!!!!! My question is--- Do you really have to tour w/ INXS??? Are you really going to tour with them?  We'll understand but we can't fathom going to a concert anywhere near JD, yuck. Most of us plan to watch the Lovehammers then leave because we totally can't stand JD. Peace!!!!!! |

:)First off, I think I may have to order another copy of MOMM. It's been playing non-stop since I got it last month. Great stuff!!!! Q1 - We've all gotten to know Marty through RS:I, but it would be great if your legions of Lovehammers fans got to know you, Bobby & Billy, too. Would Lovehammers consider doing a tour DVD? Perhaps something that picks-up when Marty returns and documents the band behind the scenes getting ready for the world tour? Q2- We've heard buzz about a benefit Lovehammers show: when? where? Is there a chance you may do some live shows before going on tour with INXS? I second the motion for Lovehammers coming to Boston...PLEASE!?!?!?!?! We're really friendly here. (Amy- I think a Boston Q needs to be asked?). Hope to see you guys live soon. Take care, Beantown  |

Dino,
Since most bands end up being like familes, and most familes have their "in's and out's".... out of all the band members, who gets along with who the best? And who "butt's heads" the most?
Also, with the band being formed when you all were in high school, what would you say has held you together for so long? How do you deal with the stress? And back in high school..."mom, dad, we're making a band" lol did all the guys' parents support the band? Or think you were crazy? lol
Two more little questions....
1. Which band member would you NOT tell a secret to?
2. Which band member is the messiest?
Thanks for answering our questions!!!

Hey Dino,, first Id like to say props to you and the members of the band, for staying commited to each other and the music through the years!
My question would be, now that you do have such positve feedback and your fan base has grown so tremendously, would you consider not opening for INXS and possibly opening for a more contemporary rock band that would give the Lovehammers a more positve chance and break away from this whole INXS thing. I think you have a strong enough fan base and world knowlegde of your band and the amazing music you create that you no longer need attatchments to INXS or their negativity right now. their are so many hard hitting rock bands that could swing lovehammers right into the limlight!

Hey Dino,
Thanks for taking the time to respond to some of our questions. Firstly, I must say how immensely thrilled I am that Marty took the opportunity to audition for INXS. Thank you and your bandmates for sharing him with us! Because of your generosity, we have been blessed with the opportunity to get to "know" Marty over the course of the summer and he has gained LOTS of new fans. Subsequently, so have the Lovehammers. I am also thrilled to have been introduced to the Lovehammers...you guys rock!
I guess my question is...how do you think you'd have handled it if Marty had been chosen as the new lead singer for INXS?
It seems to me that there is just so much substance with your band that it would be very difficult for Marty to leave it behind. I for one, am very glad that he will be able to remain with The Lovehammers as I am really looking forward to following you on the road to your continued and increased success!
A new Marty Casey & The Lovehammers fan,
Kate

Hey Dino,
I'm so excited that you are hear to chat with us. I'd love to ask a few questions:
1. Who does more of the song writing in the band?
2. What was Marty like when he was a teenager?
3. Are you all finding your new-found fame overwhelming?
4. Will your music continue in the direction it was going, or do you think it will change just a bit with the things that Marty has learned?
Thanks.

Hi, Dino! New fan from Albuquerque, New Mexico here. I just wanted to know... Do any of you have any tattoos and what are they? What is your pet peeves in general? If you were marooned on an island, what 5 things would you need to survive? If the Lovehammers and INXS had to play Survivor, who would you vote off the island first? How do we get the Lovehammers to come to our town to do a concert? Because I'll start working on it asap.  Rock on! |

Hi there Dino,
Has Marty and the Lovehammers seen all the awesome comments and things that have been written by fans to this site either via the emails or on the message boards?
Just curious about what you and Marty thought about it and if you have read all the comments on this site....
As a fan, its been a trip so far getting all caught up in the wave of this, like the message boards, and talking to other fans of yours as we are all feverishly awaiting you next move to fame. It's awesome..Good luck to you and hurry we are having withdrawals...

Hi Dino Don't panic about my name. I've actually had this for about 4yrs now. I was only told recently that yours is the same (without the Ms). I guess great minds think alike If you see me on your site..don't worry...Im not trying to act like your "wife" LOL. 1. What was it like to not get to talk to Marty for 3 months? I know you had basically no communication w/him at all. 2. When can we expect TREES to be released? 3. How has Marty dealt with his new found huge fan base? Is he shocked? Does he know how we'd stay up for 4 solid hours voting for him every Tuesday night? 4. I want front row for your show in Chicago coming up. Can you help me out? I have lotsa $$ so I don't want any freebies..just want to see you all up close and personal |

How many CD's have you sold since Rockstar aired?
Heard the LoveHammers will soon be recording a new album....what is the approximate release date? I love both of your CD's, I am sure the next one will be a huge success. Can't wait!!!!!

Hey Dino, It's Angela again.
Are you going to release any songs soon? Like TREES? I read on the INXS site that JD Fortune is getting ready to release the single of PRETTY VEGAS on Oct 4th. It sure would be great to see TREES released then too. So the two could battle it out on the charts at the same time...
It would be like a competition again...

As I already have both CDs & your DVD, how can I get my hands on Demolition & Ultrasound? If I fly out from San Diego to Chicago in November, can I party w/ the Lovehammers?
