I've been working hard on getting WCCC Hartford, CT to play Trees.

They started 2 nights ago but only playing it in the wee hours 3-4 am. After a few more contacts they played it 11:55 last night and 5:34 this am.

Please click on the link to request it for the "6'oclock request hour" - Thanks to anyone who can help.

Phantom,

I update my link for the 6 o'clock request hour. Did you see one for requests/anytime? Or just the phone number?

Thanks for trying everyone. I listened for a while this afternoon and still have not heard it during the day.

The email I got from Mike K (DJ) said we'd start hearing it more this weekend.


Thanks again Phantom for your help on this station.

BTW 860 is a CT area code, not toll free.

Ok, I've gone through the member list and there are a few others from CT here.  

Anyone willings to help out with the street team?  I've been requesting at several radio stations, but need the help of some local radio listeners.   Also if you go see a band play at the Webster, Dodge, Toads, or local bars you can take some flyers and pass them out and post some.

Please pm me or post here if you can help.

thanks

all by myself....don't wanna be... all by myself....

hey velvet, not sure where you are in CT, but give me the links to the radio stations, I am not too far away...will try to help out.

thanks Beth!

Here are the links, the phone numbers are on the sites, best to call I think if you can swing that.  I will continue to work on 106.9 WCCC The Rock since they are being pains about lots of people emailing.

I have contacted the other CT members on this board but they are either inactive members or not able to help with STing.

So it looks like there isn't anyone here in CT to work on street teaming with me (oh besides my husband).  He  has taken some flyers to work and regularly listens to the music there. People have been asking about it too. How could they not? It's great stuff.

I'll update here what I have worked on.  Besides STing NYC before CBGB show and Mohegan Sun before, during and after show he is a quick recap.

Worked on 106.9 The Rock andTrees was added to the playlist.  Station had played it mostly later night and over night but at least twice a night until just recently.  Trying to get in touch again with DJ who did this for me originally to see if they can get it back on.  This station is harder rock.

105.9 The River has the CD and I have requested it, they played Trees a couple of times but this is a clear channel station and it not showing on regular playlist.  Will absolutely keep requesting.  They also have an artist spotlight at 10 am each day and I request MCLH for that also. I find the clear channel stations rarely answer their phones which makes it hard to develop a rapore with a DJ.

I ordered (Crazy4Marty found these) some large magnets for our cars with the LH logo, name picture of the band and website info on them.  They are great! I love having them on the cars and we can advertise/promote the band everytime we go out without having to do anything.

I have left CD promotion flyers all around as I run errands.  Post office, library, restaurants, bathrooms (taped to inside of stall) you name it, I've left them there.   I have not done the sticker thing yet but it is something I would like to work on soon.  

Using the lovehammer e-cards which are great!

I don't usually have my camera with me when I am running errands so don;t think to take pictures to post.  I posted some of the types of flyers I had a while back in some other area on this forum.

I will take pics of the car magnets since they are so well done.  Not really expensive either.  I would love to see others with these on their cars.

I gave the new CD to a few friends and a couple people at work because they asked me about it when I was playing it.

CD shuffle when I hit the music stores.

I bought a forest of Trees from iTunes and gifted those to my friends and family.  

VH1 posting, voting regularly...

My momentum has not died down.  I hope that we are all helping to make a difference for this great band.

Hey Velvet, I am pretty new here. I see you're from CT too. What can I do? I called WPLR 99.1 NewHaven/Milford and talked to them about how to go about getting the CD played and I was told that because Clear Channel/ Cox radio owns them they have to go to the top before anything gets passed to played.  I didn't specifically ask for Lovehammers but when I called I said I want to find out how to get a band played, and then said Lovehammers. I have never heard them being played on WPLR but maybe someday soon.

Julie

Hi Julie

you didn't list your location so I missed you. Clear channel stations are hard.  I would love to get them back on 106.9 the Rock so if you want to call in a request for Trees that would be great.  They had an attitude a while back when getting slammed with email requests from ST and sent not so nice replies.  Mike K was kind to me and kept Trees on the playlist for some time.  

The best thing to do is call and simply request Trees (since they have it) say thank you and goodbye.  Just be a fan requesting to hear the song.

Welcome to the board, where are you in CT?  Hope you've had a chance to see them live.  

thanks for offering to help.

Velvet, thanks for replying, I'm in Orange, where are you? I saw them at Mohegan Sun and they were so great. Marty went crazy and went through the crowd, came right over to me(well where I was seated), jumped on my seat and grabbed my arm! I was so shocked that I didn't even have time to react. Damn! But I touched him...lol. I just made plans to go to Memphis, I'm nuts, my coworker/friend, her Mom and Aunt live in Nashville so we are going to see them as well, they aren't doing too well health wise and I thought evne before I found out LH were playing at Beale St. that she should go see them soon. Perfect timing! Anyway, let me know what I can do to ST. And let me know where you are, take care.
Julie

We are in Wolcott.
have a great time in Memphis. We aren't able to swing that trip. We were at Mohegan Sun too.  Also got to see them on Valentine's day at CBGB's....an experience that words just can not describe.  

If you can print some flyers and drop off at local places when you are out let me know and I'll send you the files.  I've gotten everything I need here, there are some really talented people who design the flyers and post links.  It's helpful to take flyers when you go to other concerts too.  We don't get to many shows since our kids are young but we are going to NIN in June so I'll take some with me then.

PM if you have any questions.

Velvet, where is NIN? Our kids are little also, thats why I'm so blown away how this all worked out. My dh was great about me going and its a combined trip too. Where do I go for the downloads? I'd be more than happy to pass along anything I can.

NIN are playing at the Meadows in Hartford - it's called something else now tho.  check your pm later..I will get some info to you.

Hi velvet, wow you have been busy..will try to call those stations for you..I am having no luck in RI, but there is no station that seems to fit them well..and I have been focusing on a few in boston...I need to learn to keep stuff with me so  I can drop it off eveywhere like you do.  Hubby not into this at all, so need to be a bit secretive, makes it a bit more diffucult!

and welcome Julie! I also went to Mohegan Sun...was lucky enough to sneak up front! Hope we get LHs back in the area soon!

YNOTME - just throw some flyers in your car for when you are out and about.  Good luck with the Boston stations.  It ain't easy....

yes need LH back in area soon and maybe we'll actually get to meet at the next show.

Kristin Burns from The River will play Trees on Wed 4/19 during the All Request Lunch Hour which runs from 12-1:30.  This is a Clear Channel station, so I am pleased that they are going to play it again.  The last time they played it was on Valentine's Day.  You can listen live.

105.9 The River played Trees today during the All Request Lunch Hour.

The DJ gave a nice promo for the band too.  Wish I recorded it so I could remember but it went something like this (after she said that she was playing it for me):

She said that I was their #1 fan (lmao won't fight anyone for that title) and that you may remember that was the song that Marty Casey sang while trying to win the lead singer gig during RS last summer.  She said that while Marty may not have won the job she thought that they'd do great on their own.  And even though INXS chose JD they liked Marty and his band so much that they invited them on tour.  And if there was anything else, I can't remember.

Oh, that is VERY COOL Velvet!   :cheers:  heeheehee #1 Fan and #1 CT Street Teamer!!  

Did you already get your car magnets?   I wanna see!!

Thanks Ang!

I do have the car magnets, but haven't taken a picture yet.  I'll put them on here when I remember to take the dang pictures.  I'm so afraid someone is gonna steal them right off my car.  

They are posted on another thread, Crazy4Marty designed them and I just go smaller ones made through Salvation Signs. The same design is being used for Memphis show banner.  You gotta get some! 8)

velvet, i have been away so just catching up...i will be prepared from now on!! and hope to meet  you very soon!

thats great Velvet! way to go..I will try to contact this station as well!

YNOTME

Thanks! If you call during Kristen's show maybe she'll play it for you too. 10-3 I think is her show.

busy at work, but maybe I can call today!

Hubby wore a LH tee today and his doc asked him about it.  He told me he got a little street teaming in at his appointment.  GO HUBBY!!!!

Thats great....you are so lucky to have a fellow hammerhead for a hubby! not so lucky here!

I know the LH's are not hitting CT on this tour, but will be so close - NJ, NYC Boston.  Time to step up the ST efforts again in CT. Now I know that there are some CT Hammerheads on this board so please let me know if you can help with anything, what area you can cover.  Radio stations, distributing the new GET LIVE tour flyers.  I'll copy the newest flyer here (created by lasnow) that has been approved for use.

Don't forget to order the new LH wristbands http://www.lovehammersforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=3284 which you can wear while street teaming and of course everday.  People WILL ask what it is and that provides you with yet another opportunity to spread the love.

Post here or pm me.

Thanks

This is the LH approved flyer for the current tour.  You can pm lasnow to get a clean copy via email or check out the flyer/poster section of this board for files.

Velvet, I'm in Fairfield. Let me know what I can do to help. I have a 6 year old, so I can't cover concerts (not because I dont' want to go to them with hubby, but because I usually can't get a babysitter.) We are going to Canal St. and Hammer jam, though and can help distribute flyers when needed.

Said  6 year old LOVES LH and knows every word to every song, so she is majorily cool about her mom's efforts to spread to LH love.

Welcome to the board

I understand about the babysitter situation.  We are in the same boat but  will be at these shows too.  Hopefully we'll meet  

The best thing to do would be to print off some tour flyers, post some and leave small stacks of others around (people have been known to post them at gas stations, leave them in libraries, basically anywhere you go :wink: )  

If there is a radio station in your area that you regularly listen to, call and request Trees.  They have the CD and have played Trees on request at The River here in CT.  Maybe if there is more than one person requesting it, they may play it more.


thanks

I will start requesting again at the River!

thanks 8)

I will definitely get some flyers distributed.  Where is the River?  I'm in WPLR land and I remember reading that they won't play LH yet.

Hey Suezer2, sorry I missed this question!

105.9 The River is in Hartford  
http://www.theriver1059.com/main.html

Mike Karoyli put Trees on the overnight playlist at WCCC for a while shortly after the CD release but they took it off.  

What did you hear about WPLR?

Hey guys,

Count on another active CT member. Just joined up the other day... Julie I'm right near you actually.. I work in West Haven.

Welcome Sunday!  

I'm thrilled to see more CT street teamers.  There are some great flyers posted in the general street team thread.  Also if you are requesting LH songs on any CT stations and they play them, please post that info here.

Previously street teamers were asked to post anything that they were doing to help with the effort to spread the love.  So feel free to tell all here.

Again, welcome and hope to see you around the board and at a show or two!

Thanks for the welcome. I'll try and get some radio requests going over the next few days. Might try some college radio stations also.

We need to get a CT appearance for these guys!

The River is near my sister. I'll have to get her to make some requests too.

I can't remember where I read it but it was on a board. Something to the effect that WPLR is a Clear Channel station and to get a band on their play list, they have to have sold X amount of albums. This was a while ago, though, and when I last checked the website, Lovehammers does come up on the artist search with a bio and MOMM and MCLH CDs listed.

Suezer

There are lots of clear channel stations here aren't there?  That's cool that you will have your sister working on the River.  They have it so if they start getting some additional requests maybe they will play it.

Hi everyone... I'm in CT too and have requested Trees a bunch of times, I head it on the river/ 105.9 and I requested it there a while ago... need to work on other stations though... what about 105.5 or 98.7?  lemme know...

Glad to see so many CT people!! :headbang:

Welcome Eva-long.  I'm glad to see you posting here.  Please request at any/all stations you'd like.  The River seems most likely to play it again so give them a shot.  If you are interested in printing flyers and distributing them on your side of CT (seems like the rest of us are in the  western part of CT), pm me and I'll help get some of the tour and CD promo flyer files to you.  It's really easy and a great way to help spread the love.

bumping... anyone??

Hey Eva.. the CT ranks are growing Anyone going to the show tonight?

cool I'll keep with River and I tried 98.7 they said try back later so I will

Would love some flyers!!!

No wish I did (go to the show) but I couldn't

Velvet  just wanted to say awesome meeting you guys at the NYC show! I'm glad we were able to bump into each other for a little bit.

It's great to know some fans nearby!

thanks sunday you too!  Reading the reviews I am sad to see that I missed meeting so many other people from the board.  Guess I'll have to wait till Hammerjam.


Eva-long I got your pm.  We are getting ready to leave for Disney with the kids, but I'll get in touch with you when we return.

Velvet, We took our daughter in April (as part of a cruise excursion) and it was sooooooo crowded and we only had 6 hours.  Hopefully you will have short wait lines.  Please let me know how it goes because we want to take her back next year and I'd love to know when the park doesn't have like 80,000 people.  Have a great time.
