December 17th 2009- SeasonŽs greetings! I summed up 2009 by playing my last gig of the year in Helsinki a copule of weeks ago. Thanks to everyone who has supported me this year. Next year I've planned to record some new material and continue playing shows. The first gig of 2010 will be at Klubi in Turku, FIN. At this point, I think it's only fair to announce that my debut album "Hooks" contains a hidden track that is called "Hit my head". Happy hunting! If shopping for x-mas gifts frustrates you, make someone happy and get them a copy of Marty the Random Guy "Hooks" for only 3,50 € from 8RAITA record store. Have a great x-mas holiday and a happy new year! Marty
