Sunset Strip glam veterans L.A. Guns play the Knitting Factory on Monday night with opening acts Faster Pussycat, Bang Tango and The Dogs Divine (8 p.m. $18, TicketWeb. 2-for-1 tickets with discount code: GUNS).

Reader Cheryl Wilson wants you to know that L.A. Guns has a new singer: "Yes, I thought L.A. Guns was done with "Ballad of Jayne," too," she e-mails, "but they have hired an awesome new frontman that Boiseans need to check out next Monday - Marty Casey! Marty was in Chicago's Lovehammers and will be familiar to a ton of people as the 2nd place guy on Rock Star: INXS a couple years ago - he was the #1 vote recipient on the show (even though INXS picked that other guy who seems to have sunk without a trace - JD Fortune). L.A. Guns's Tracii Guns (founder of Guns n' Roses with Axl) totally reinvented his former 80's Sunset Strip band earlier this year - he had brought in Marty to co-write their next album (due out in March 2009) and liked him so much they asked him to step in as the new lead singer."

Cheryl, who would make a good publicist, also supplied links to a bunch of YouTube videos. Here's L.A. Guns on stage last month with Marty Casey on vocals. Shucks, ain't he hunky?
