Heavy metal pioneers MOTÖRHEAD are marking the world premiere of the eagerly anticipated documentary Lemmy with a special performance in Austin, Texas, on the final night of the South by Southwest Film Festival.

Lemmy, the long-awaited documentary examining the life and career of Motörhead front man and rock icon Lemmy Kilmister, is to make its debut during the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival at 6:45 p.m. on Monday, March 15th at the historic Paramount Theatre in Austin.

Motörhead will perform the following night, Tuesday, March 16th, at popular Austin venue Stubb's Bar-B-Q, with THE SWORD and YEAR LONG DISASTER opening.

An exclusive screening of Lemmy will also be held at 9:15 p.m. on Friday, March 19th at the 1,200-seat Paramount Theatre as part of the SXSW Music Festival.

Following each screening, Kilmister himself will be participating in very special question and answer sessions with Lemmy directors/producers Greg Olliver and Wes Orshoski.

Olliver and Orshoski spent three years following Kilmister around the globe, following him from his Hollywood home to the hockey arenas of Russia. Lemmy features appearances by such high-profile Kilmister friends/peers as METALLICA, DAVE GROHL, OZZY OSBOURNE, SLASH, Billy Bob Thornton and pro wrestler Triple H.

Tickets for Motörhead's performance at Stubb's are $28 and can be purchased at stubbs.frontgatetickets.com.

Seats for both the March 15th and the March 19th screenings are first come, first served, but SXSW Film Festival badge holders get priority seating, followed by SXSW Film Festival passholders. Individual tickets will be sold at the Paramount Theater 15 minutes prior to each screening until capacity is reached. For more information on film festival badges, visit www.sxsw.com.

Hailed as a godfather of heavy metal, 64-year-old Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister has established himself as the living embodiment of rock and roll over the past four decades. After stints with popular Mersey beat band THE ROCKIN' VICKERS and influential psychedelic rockers HAWKWIND, and even a brief time spent as a member of JIMI HENDRIX's road crew, Lemmy formed Motörhead in 1975.

Going on to record such influential metal classics as 'Overkill', 'Ace Of Spades' and 'Bomber', the Grammy Award winning Motörhead and Kilmister's fusion of punk and metal registered a major influence on such bands as Metallica, GUNS N' ROSES and NIRVANA. Says FOO FIGHTERS leader and ex-Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, “If anyone deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it's Lemmy. Give me a fuckin' break!”

2010 marks the 35th anniversary of the birth of Motörhead, which features Kilmister, guitarist Phil Campbell and drummer Mikkey Dee.
