Where has the year gone? This year has just flown by! It's been a hell of year with changes, strains and hardships for everyone. So what better way to reward yourself than a trip to the WINDY CITY...say New Year's Eve...hmmmmmm? Lovehammers are performing New Year's Eve! Stay tuned for more details and information!
While we anxiously wait for the details on this exciting show announcement, stop by the Lovehammers Store to get the VIP advance sale for the Lovehammers new CD, Let Me Out.
"This CD is something I have wanted to do for over a year, and I am very excited to finally share it with everyone. "LET ME OUT" will feature NEW LOVEHAMMERS SONGS, songs that are mixed the way LH wanted them mixed but the Label and Management didn't want you to hear, and will also include Live versions, Acoustic versions, and Demo versions so people can see and hear how these songs developed. There will also be some hidden tracks that I PROMISE won't disappoint. As a music fan myself, I love it when bands let their guard down, and invite us into what is normally kept hidden and eventually polished with computers and tricks. This album is what Lovehammers are all about - gritty, raw, power! I hope you all enjoy this as much as I enjoyed creating it...." -Dino Kourelis Lovehammers

…so I'm a few weeks early on the countdown, and again, sorry for the singing. BUT the store has some great New Year's Eve items that everyone needs to order NOW!!What better way to bring in the New Year than to make some noise!Okay, being at the Hyatt for the New Year's Eve Lovehammers show with fellow Hammerheads would be a great way to celebrate, but if you can't be there...here is a chance to celebrate Hammerifically! The LH Store is now selling LH Balloons, Maracas and Kazoos! Buy them individually or buy the New Year's Eve Special Package, either way, don't celebrate without these great LH items!
Okay, so we all clearly see why I never became a song writer and you definitely don't want to hear me sing it. Definitely no plans to quit my day job anytime soon. I just thought I'd share my holiday season cheer. The cheer that quickly ends when you are pushed to the brink of insanity over shopping malls, lists for presents, Christmas lights blowing fuses and the lyrics of Feliz Navidad being recycled over and over in your head at night. Then the inevitable questions that arise this time of year. What will be my New Year's Resolution? How many more of these cards do I have to write?! Why is Snoopy a beagle, but he's only black and white, no brown? What kind of bird is Woodstock anyway? Why do I now see such prejudice in Rudolph the Reindeer as an adult and they still show this to kids? Hmmmm...oh, I've gone off track a bit. Sorry...
Umm...moving along...we've added some new items to the store! So if you are looking for stocking stuffers, some last minute gift ideas, need to restock your Street Teaming supplies, or just want to buy yourself some great LH items because hey...who better to spoil a little this holiday season than yourself, then go check it out. Now!

Earlier this year, the phenomenal fans of Marty Casey & Lovehammers contributed 974 shoeboxes for our men and women fighting overseas. These shoeboxes contained everything from toothpaste to beef jerkey, Q-tips to socks, and of course, a Marty Casey & Lovehammers CD in each one of these boxes. We are calling upon the fans again, to help contribute to another great cause. The campaign is a continuation of our previous one with the goal of helping the great men and women that put their lives on the line for us daily. Simply put, this is a campaign for our veterans here at home, hence the name Shoeboxes @ Home. We have all watched the evening news showing a heroes welcome when the soldiers return, but soon that attention passes. These soldiers come home to a place that they have been away from for months or years at a time. Even a healthy soldier can struggle with the transition of coming home to this great free country that is a stark contrast from the world they have been experiencing overseas. Acclimating themselves takes time and can be difficult. For the veterans that suffer from physical injuries, mental issues, or both, the reacclimation can be even more difficult.
As of January of 2007, more than 1.6 million U.S. Servicemen and women have served in Afghanistan and Iraq. There are more than 26 million veterans in the United States.
According to the USDVA, more than 200,000 veterans are homeless on any given night, and more than 500,000 will experience homelessness over the course of a year.
More than 300,000 veterans diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder received treatment from a VA facility.
Of the more than 250,000 Americans with spinal cord injuries, 42,000 are veterans.
A recent study of inpatients at VA facilities indicates that nearly 85% have annual incomes of less than $15,000.
The Miles Foundation reports that calls to their Domestic Violence Hotline for Military Spouses has increased from 50 to 500 per month since the start of the Iraq War.
Seeing those numbers makes it hard to turn a blind eye and ignore the NEED for us to take a part in helping our veterans. As before with our previous Shoebox of Love campaign, we have outlined a step by step process for you to follow. Please follow the steps and guidelines we have formatted. As always, we will be here to help assist and answer any questions that may arise. Please spread the word of this great new campaign and of course, help SPREAD THE LOVE!
In addition to our great campaign, we are offering great new Street Team Supplies! Check out the new totes, aprons, and the very popular Trees postcard! Stay tuned...more exciting Street Team Supplies to be added SOON!
Thank you for all your support! Dino, Nancy, NLT, HY and Cherrytattoo
