Marty to host weekly Cell Phone TV program in Japan!!
01 September 2004
plus live update and more

Marty has signed on with top Japanese cellular company "AU" to do a weekly spot for those who subscribe to AU's "EZ channel". EZ channel is similar to cable TV but for your cell phone. Subscribers to this cutting edge service receive film clips (news, events, music reviews, etc.) nightly in their cell phones and can watch at their leisure even when there is no signal. Marty's segment will have him talking music, playing guitar, visiting his favorite spots in Japan, and more. Filming begins early Sept. and service will begin in October. More info to come.

Marty is currently in the studio working on demos for a new solo album, early tracks are slightly in the vein of "Cheer Girl Rampage" but as usual Marty has plenty of twisted surprises in store. He is also writing and recording new music for Aikawa Nanase. Check in here for more about his new music soon.

LIVE SHOWS

9/12 Utsunomiya, JAPAN (with Aikawa Nanase)

These are live events sponsored by Roland/Boss, and Marty will perform music from his solo albums. His band will feature Jun-ji (ex-Siam Shade) on drums, Masaki (Animetal) on bass. John Petrucci will also appear at the Osaka show on 11/10.

Marty also has a very special surprise coming up this year with Roland/Boss with which fans worldwide can get actually their hands on the raw studio tracks of a brand new Marty song. That's all we are able to say now, so stay tuned for more info!!

Those of you in Japan may have seen the special feature on Marty in TJ Toyama magazine. Guitar Magazine will also be running a special feature on Marty. Marty also did a long interview and photo session for a 8 page piece which will focus on his early works like Cacophony and Hawaii. This is for a book to be published by Shinko Music. More news to come!
