Here's a code for a MySpace bulletin to advertise the Memphis gig:

I have some materials; flyers, bumper stickers, post cards, buttons, and if they get here on time pens. I was planning to take them to Memphis with me. Thought I could use them there. Want to help get the word out 'Lovehammers Rock.'

Hey...my sister called today (she lives in Memphis) she said that she was listenig to her rock station there WEGR 102.7 and they were having people call in to say who they were excited to see at the festival, my sister said that there was call after call saying they wanted to see Marty Casey, then Marty Casey, then Marty Casey. She said almost everyone that called had said him. GREAT NEWS. However, she said that it sounded like to her that most of these people only knew of Marty from Rockstar and did not know of "Lovehammers"... So I just wanted to let everyone that is going to Memphis know so that you can ST the hell out of these people. They are interested they just don't have all the information. I wish so badly that I could go, but my finances don't agree.

Also...if anyone in Memphis could call this radio station and start requesting LH (if they aren't already playing them.) My sis says she has not heard any of their music yet. Obviously these people need this music if they are excited about seeing marty. Maybe if they would play MCLH more people would get interested and more people would go out to see them.

To everyone that is going...I am jealous, but know you will do amazingly..I'll be here holding down the hollywood fort. Thanks guys.

Good Luck and have fun...Kimberly

Don't have any of my own supplies, but will help where ever I can. I'll be there all 3 days.

Excellent, Sharon! It sounds like you're stocked!

Thanks, Kimberly, for the info. That's good to hear that there's already an audience out there. Street Teamers will just have to make sure that everyone knows about Lh. I'll look up the radio details and post them.

Great, kbgirlrf! We need people there to do the footwork! I'm sure there will be flyers and such that you can hand out.

[radioclash]

kimberly - that is really exciting news! Hope that all the Marty fans will become Hammerheads after seeing them live

I'll make sure to add your radio info to the main page - thanks.


kbgirlrf - I'll make sure to keep my eyes open if there's some promo items for you. I know flyers are always an option. Word of mouth works, too!

[Ceeje]

Don't forget to wear your Lovehammers T-shirts! Do you all have some? If you don't (your order from Lh.com might not have come yet), you could make some. Some people have made some really great ones!

I have been using www.zazzle.com you can make posters, stamps, or t-shirts. You decide what you want, say a t-shirt then it will offer you the option to browse your saved pictures, select and boom it is on a shirt. You can put it on the front or the back move it up or down add text and pick from different styles and colors of shirts. Finished and delivered was about $25

I just got my 3rd (2 MC, 1 LH) it was here in days. I was astounded at how quickly it was actually in my hands. This would be a good way to get a shirt made and get it in time for Memphis in May.

Sharon - awesome link, thanks!

Here is some things any and all Hammerheads and Street Teamers can focus on:

When requesting or sending comments to the Memphis radio stations also add that you'd love to hear the station interview the band! I know I would.

If you have MySpace -

The MySpace page for the festival is
www.myspace.com/bealestreetmusicfestival

There is no mention of Lovehammers anywhere on that page! So become a friend and let them know how excited you are about the band - especially if you are going.

Thanks!

[AZcamille]

On my way to add a little "love" to their page.

[radioclash]

Cool! I thought they might not add us. I'll post something ASAP.

MEMPHIS IN MAY FLYER:

[Ceeje]

Thanks for posting those here, LASnow! And the ones in the Graphics for Print thread. :~)

[radioclash]

Those are amazing, LASnow!
I love how were able to get a lot of info on there.

This might be a good thread to compare stores that you can print flyers out.

I used Office Depot @ 6 cents a copy or 8 cents a copy for colored paper.

[jomarti]

I used zazzle.com too. I'm am a techy tard, so if I can do it, anyone can. It was simple with just Lovehammers on front. I also got it really quick. I did pay extra shipping because I wanted it for a concert and waited too long to order - I think I got it in 3-4 days and took the 2 day shipping.

I am planning on ST'ing a lot in Memphis - will need a suitcase just for that. LOL

lol - I am imagining that all the Hammerheads suitcases will be more than half-filled with promo items and flyers ;D

[radioclash]

I'm just wondering if anyone here was able to get their official ST shirt over in Memphis?

I'm curious as how they look/fit and all that good stuff.

[kbgirlref]

Lots of people got them. Somewhere there are pictures of yerba in hers on the .com site.

[radioclash]

Thanks for the tip kbgirlrf!

Unfortunately, my computer is being mean to me and hasn't let me onto LH.com this week
