the LOVEHAMMERS

Did you watch Rock Star: INXS last year? I did because I love INXS, and the concept of the show was fun. I watched faithfully all year, and fell in love with Marty and his quickiness. I knew that JD was a better fit for INXS, so I think it worked out perfectly that JD won, and Marty - who already had a band - is getting the exposure he needs by opening for INXS on their tour.
So.... my pal Sandy treated me to a weekend of INXS, because she is totally in love JD. I wasn't so much, but after watching him on stage - wow - he's pretty delicious. And to put the icing on the cake for Sandy, she handed JD one of her necklace creations and he wore it the rest of the concert. Woohoo!
So off we went, to spend the weekend in Lincoln City to see both nights of the concert. It was fantastic. INXS played both old and new songs and it was amazingly fun. Marty and his band THE LOVEHAMMERS opened the show and I was so excited to hear what their music sounded like, because the only song I knew was Trees. They rock - the bass player is a hottie, the guitar player's voice is fantastic, and of course Marty - he's quircky and fun to watch. The drummer, I didn't see much of. I was in the first row, and he wasn't on a platform, so all I pretty much saw were his drums, but he sounds great!! I fell in love 3 of their songs right off the bat, and to tell you the truth, there isn't one I didn't like. It's not too often you hear a CD and like all the songs. I pre-ordered the CD online - it releases today so I can't wait till it gets here.
OK, so Marty - thank you for posing for every shot I wanted to take - I just wish I took a better camera, as 90% of them didn't turn out. I'll post the ones that did tonight.
Thanks for the great trip Sandy!
