Veteran heavy metal band Motorhead is making the final preparations for its new 24 date North American Tour set to kick off on August 28th in Minneapolis, Minnesota and continuing until October 9th at the House of Blues Las Vegas. The British trio leaded by Lemmy Kilmister is touring in support of its 19th studio album "Motörizer," released August 2008, the band, which spent the last year touring in Europe, will bring the U.S Rockabilly trio Reverend Horton Heat as their main support band for the new U.S tour.

 

In addition, Motorhead will also share the stage in Anaheim, LA and Las Vegas with the all female superstar band Chelsea Girls. The band featuring Corey Parks (Nashville Pussy), Samantha Maloney (Hole, Motley Crue), Allison Robertson (The Donnas), and former Playboy model/DJ Tuesdae, will also bring several special guests, including actress/model Carmen Electra, who is now as the unofficial fifth member and the band's emcee.

 

Formed in 1975 in England by former Hawkwind guitarist Lemmy Kilmister (born Ian Fraiser Kilmister; December 24, 1945), Philthy Animal (born Philip Taylor) and “Fast” Eddie Clarke, Motorhead soon became notorious due its forceful and fast sound and its aggressive and rebellious lyrics. Motorhead is considered one of the most significant heavy metal bands of all times and has been labeled as the original creator of the speed and thrash metal by numerous critics and music historians. Motorhead is also considered the main influence behind the 80’s Bay area Thrash movement, which includes multi platinum selling artists Metallica, Megadeth, Exodus, Anthrax and Testament.
