BraveWords.com has received the following press release:

MOTÖRHEAD, the hardest working, hardest touring band in the world, is heading into October in a big way. They're finishing up their very successful US tour this month with an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday, October 8th. And on October 16th, the new issue of Rolling Stone hits the stands and will feature the cultural icons as never seen before. Internationally renown photographer, Pep Bonet, spent a few months on the road with the band in Europe and South America, and captured some amazing moments. This will be the Grammy award-winning rockers' first feature in the US magazine.

The US tour dates looked a little different this time around, as drummer Mikkey Dee took a couple of weeks off to film season one of Kändisdjungeln, Sweden's version of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! where ten celebrities live together in the Malaysian jungle for 16 days. VELVET REVOLVER drummer, Matt Sorum, formerly of GUNS N' ROSES and THE CULT, got the call from Lemmy and filled in during Mikkey's absence.

Announced last week was Motörhead's participation in JoggleBug.com's launch. The site got 85,000 hits that day. Fans of the powerhouse trio can now check in to the site daily to hear Lemmy's updates from the road.

This month will see the final footage shot for the movie, Lemmy. The filmmakers have spent the last three years shooting one of rock 'n roll's most influential and iconic figures fronting one of the most respected rock bands today. The up close, personal and outrageous documentary is scheduled for release early next year.

The band heads back to Europe from late October through December, performing throughout the continent with support in the U.K. from eternally cool cohorts THE DAMNED and GIRLSCHOOL. After that tour, the band will commence work on their as-yet untitled new album.

In a recent interview, legendary founding member Lemmy Kilmister was asked how he would describe Motörhead: “Brutal, tuneful and good for the soul.”

It's a good month for Motörhead.
