Shows are always more enjoyable when the band is in their element, having fun and giving back to their hometown crowd. This was the case last Saturday night in Chicago where Hammerfest 2010 rocked a sold out House of Blues!
Marty Casey and the Kourelis brothers brought their A game with a strong mix of songs from their last 10 years and a belting “it’s only teenage wasteland” during a cover of the classic Who song, “Baba O’Riley”. Highlights included an 8 year old girl on stage for “Eyes Can’t See” stealing the audience hearts with her rock persona. Marty took to climbing the second tier balcony and walking the entire edge during “Oh My Babe.” Then while playing the hit “Trees” (made famous on the reality show Rock Star INXS) the band helped another Chicagoan with his Valentines Day date that came all the way from London to be named fan furthest to travel to this years show.
These guys have been friends since they were in Little League together and the benefit is to the fans (The Hammerheads). This balanced and heartfelt sound and the bands kinship shows through in their live shows. Checkout Lovehammers newest release, Heavy Crown, its character is jam-packed with heavy riffs and clever lyrics and the deep rich resonance picks right back up where the previous album left off. You’ll be reeled in for sure.
