For Immediate Release

Hammers Of Misfortune has a new line up! First of all, original drummer Chewy has returned to the fold. This is great news and we are thrilled to have him back!

As for Vocals, we have two new members, Patrick Goodwin (Dirty Power) is playing guitar and assuming duties as our male lead vocalist. Jesse Quattro (Secret Chiefs 3, Carniceria) is our new Female vocalist. We're very excited to have Chewy back, and some excellent new voices in the band. We expect this line-up to be our best yet. This line-up is confirmed to debut at the South By South West showcase in Austin TX, in March of '07. There will undoubtedly be shows prior to this, but they are a secret at the moment...

Hammers Of Misfortune official line-up:

Chewy - drums
Ron Nichols - bass
John Cobbett - guitar, etc.
Sigrid Sheie - piano, organ
Patrick Goodwin - voice, guitar
Jesse Quattro - voice, etc.

Heh heh, and then a bunch of fools get into a debate about Dimmu Borgir and shit. Funny.

Our friend Craig McGillivary has photographed Hammers a lot. For his live documentation click here. This set includes some rehearsal shots and pictures of the funniest breakfast in Los Angeles ever.

Craig was also in the studio snapping pictures during basic tracking of The Locust Years. Check out his pix here

There's lots of excellent stuff on his site, mostly dealing with life here in our neck of the woods: http://www.truefaux.org/
