Cara Carrivieu has written to tell us, "There is a fresh episode of Cara's Basement now available for your listening pleasure. It's the full-on Lovehammers episode that I previously promised. Well worth the wait, as you'll be treated to an exclusive live version of "Trees" at the end of the interview - it's a great version that is not available anywhere else!"

"This interview took place in their practice studio in Chicago. I brought along some beer and we simply hung out with a microphone turned on. The chemistry that the Lovehammers exhibit onstage is obviously just as strong offstage. Bassist Dino Kourelis, brother/drummer Bobby Kourelis and Marty talk candidly about the challenges they (and all bands with a similar dream) face and also answer many questions submitted to me by their fans. I laughed really hard at their stories about the early days of getting their music played on the radio and also their crazy parties with their fans. There is an honest interaction between Lovehammers and their fans at their live shows, and you'll get that same honesty in this candid interview."

Check out Cara's podcast episode that includes most of Lovehammers at www.CarasBasement.com

The first half is Aimee Mann, the second half is Marty Casey, with Dino & Bobby Kourelis (Billy had the flu so he isn't on it). Total runtime is only 25 minutes. There will be a full-on Lovehammers episode in the near future. This is really good taste of what's to come in that future episode! In this episode you'll hear Marty explain why he's embarking on a solo tour. Mostly you'll hear Marty, Dino & Bobby being their usual goofy selves, joking around about some really funny past experiences and describing why it's good not to be perfect onstage.
