L.A. GUNS: Footage With New Singer MARTY CASEY Available

July 6, 2008

Fan-filmed video footage of the July 3, 2008 concert by the Tracii Guns-led version of L.A. GUNS at the Hard Rock Live in San Juan, Puerto Rico can be viewed below (clips uploaded by YouTube user "janisantiago").

L.A. GUNS' current lineup includes Marty Casey, the former contestant on the hit CBS-TV "reality" show "Rock Star: INXS".

In explaining his decision to join L.A. GUNS, Casey stated, "They offered me the opportunity to step in and be the new voice of L.A. GUNS. I thought about the opportunity and the possibilities it opened up for me. I loved the songs I had written with the band and felt it was time for me to embrace this new direction. I was excited at the opportunity to record this album and then join the 'Summer Blackout Tour' which will take me all over the world over the next year. I chose to dive into the creativity and momentum. It was a tough decision because the LOVEHAMMERS [Marty's band] have always been very good friends and musical brothers. It was incredibly hard to talk to them and let them know of my new musical direction. My intent was not to hurt anyone. My intent is to continue passionately in creating and performing music. I have felt stuck for some time, and when this scenario presented itself, it felt like the clouds opening up and showing me a bright light of possibility. I am excited to record this album that I have so passionately been writing and then set-off on tour for the next year. It feels like the right place for me."

L.A. GUNS' new album featuring Marty Casey will be released later in the year via Alexus Records.
