As previously reported, having completed a highly successful tour of the US last year with JUDAS PRIEST and HEAVEN AND HELL, Motörhead continue to answer the global demand for their live assault in 2009. A sold-out tour of South America took place in April, the band is currently in Europe headlining some of the summer's biggest festivals, and they will return to the U.S. in August for a real rock'n'roll bill with THE REVEREND HORTON HEAT and NASHVILLE PUSSY. Without taking a breath, they will then go back to Europe, performing throughout the continent, from October through December, with support in the UK from eternally cool cohorts THE DAMNED and GIRLSCHOOL. In the spring of 2010, the band will commence work on their as-yet untitled new album.

Ongoing Motöraction for 2009:

- A concert review last week in a European newspaper continues to push the petition calling for the knighting of Lemmy. Sir Lemmy?? The article goes on to tout Motörizer, the band's most recent record, saying that the band's “no-nonsense hard rock has been credited with influencing everything from heavy metal and speed metal to punk and thrash.” It ends with the comment, “Few bands hold a candle to Motörhead.”
- The highly anticipated Lemmy movie with footage shot throughout the last two years, up close, personal and outrageous.
- Lemmy appears as The Killmaster in the upcoming Action game, Brutal Legend, featuring Jack Black, Tim Curry and more - coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3 this October.
- Beach culture brand Hurley has collaborated with Motörhead on a capsule collection of t-shirts, jackets and accessories, sporting classic catch phrases, song titles, photos and of course, the famous Motörhead logo. Hurley celebrated the launch of the collection last month with a party for Lemmy at one of his favorite spots, The Rainbow, on the Sunset Strip.
- Re-releasing this Christmas, the very successful Metal Xmas CD, containing Lemmy, Billy Gibbons and Dave Grohl's version of 'Run Rudolf Run', produced by Bob Kulick.
