When Marty Casey Was Named Runner-up On The Hit Television Show Rock Star: INXS,
It Only Meant He Wasn't Going To Be A Member Of INXS; There Was No Doubt He Was
Already A Rock Star. Of Course, Anyone Who Has Seen Casey And His Band
Lovehammers Perform Over The Last Five Years (or Heard Any Of Their Four
Self-released Albums) Already Knew That. INXS Knew It As Well, And They Invited
Casey & Lovehammers To Join Them On Their Upcoming Tour.
The Group (lead Vocalist Casey, Guitarist Billy Sawilchik, Bassist Dino Kourelis
And His Brother, Drummer Bobby Kourelis) Approached Its Self-titled Epic/Burnett
Records Debut With The Confidence Of A Band Used To Winning Over Audiences.
After All, Their Albums Have Sold More Than 25,000 Copies Without A Label Or
Distributor, And Their Sweaty, Electrifying Performances Have Made Them One Of
The Windy City's Most Popular Live Bands. They Recently Amassed A Few Million
New Fans Thanks To Casey's Remarkable Run On Rock Star. Over The Course Of The
Hit Series, Casey's Intense And Infectious Performances Made Him A Fan Favorite
And His Hook-laden Single, "Trees," Was A No. 1 Download On MSN.com. That
Amplifies A Resume That Includes Gigs Opening For Such Diverse Artists As
Nickelback, Jerry Cantrell, Interpol, Puddle Of Mudd, And Most Recently, Cake
And Gomez On A 21-city Tour. In 2004, Their DVD Live/Raw Debuted At No. 1 On
The Billboard DVD Chart.
"We Always Wanted To Have Our Shot, To Step Up And Do It On A Larger Scale,"
Says Bobby Kourelis." Adds Dino: "We Always Believed The Songs Were There. It
Was Just A Matter Of Getting Them Heard."
The Material Is Certainly There. The Lovehammers Write Songs That Grab You With
A Loud Crunchy Guitar Riff, Surging Melodies And Casey's Powerful And Emotive
Voice. With The Exception Of "Casualty," Which Was Written After "Rock Star:
INXS" Wrapped, The Album Was Drawn From The Lovehammers Existing Repertoire.
While This Is Their Major Label Debut, Marty Calls It "OUR Greatest Hits
Record." The Roster Of Producers Who Have Lined Up To Work With The Lovehammers
Is Proof That They're Ready For Their Close Up. "Straight As An Arrow" Was
Recorded By Chicago Legend Steve Albini (Nirvana), With Marty Frederickson
(Aerosmith, Mick Jagger) And Johnny K (Staind, Disturbed) Manning The Mixing
Board On Additional Tracks.
And Of Course, The Album Features "Trees," The Undeniably Infectious Marty
Introduced On "Rock Star," And Host/ex-Jane's Addiction/Red Hot Chili Pepper
Guitarist Dave Navarro Predicted Would Be A Hit.
Pulling Together So Many Disparate Recordings Into A Coherent Album Might Have
Intimidated Lesser Bands, But For Marty Casey & Lovehammers It Only Makes The
End Result More Fulfilling. "A Lot Of Today's Records Sound The Same-perfect
Tone, Same Guitar Sound," Says Casey. "But On Some Great Old-school Records-the
Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers Is One Example, Every Song Had A Different Sound.
They'd Use A Different Drum Kit, They Used Different Instrumentation." The
Lovehammers Record, He Says Is A "total Collage Of Different Sounds, Different
Recording Techniques. For Me, It Makes For A Really Cool Record."
Casey Says The Band Wanted To "release Something Really Exciting And Raw,
Something That Shows Who We Are-and We're A Rock Band Without Question." The
Album Has The Gutsy Sound That First Got The Lovehammers Interested In Music.
"I Want Kids In High School To Write The Name Of Our Band On Their Notebooks,"
He Adds.
To Gain That Kind Of Loyalty Takes Hard Work, And The Lovehammers Are Ready.
For This Self-described "working Class Chicago Band," It's Second Nature.
"Our Background Is Going To Help Us In The Long Run," Says Dino. Casey And The
Kourelis Brothers Have Known Each Other Since They Were Kids Playing T-ball In
The Southwest Chicago Suburb Of Hickory Hills. They Started Playing Together In
Junior High And Went Through A Number Of Guitarists Over The Years. The Lineup
Was Solidified With The Addition Of Billy Sawilchuk In 2002. In Addition To
Being Band Mates, They're Also Roommates. The Quartet Lived In A Couple Of
Houses In The Chicago Area That Had Nothing In Common, Bobby Says, Except They
Were All Called The "Hammerhouse" And, After The Band Left, They Were All
Demolished. "We Had Nothing To Do With That," Casey Adds With A Laugh, Although
Each House Did See More Than Its Share Of Mayhem. It Became Something Of A
Lovehammers Tradition For The Band To Invite THEIR Audiences Back Home For THE
After Party.
As The Band Heads Toward The Next Level Of Its Career, Casey Promises The Show
Onstage Will Match Their Offstage Antics. They're Already Looking Into Ways To
Make Their Stage Show More Memorable. They May Have Achieved Success On A Level
Most Bands Can Only Dream Of, But They're Not Going To Rest. "We Don't Want It
To Be Just Four Guys On Stage With Instruments," Marty Says. "We're Going To
Keep Working Our Asses Off. This Is Just The Beginning!"
