Fully recovered from The Sword’s epic two night stand at The Mohawk last month, Austin metal fans can now look forward to Motörhead’s foray into town this Sunday at Stubb’s. The iconic Lemmy Kilminster formed Motörhead in the 1975 followings stints with numerous bands. Motörhead’s self-titled debut landed in 1977 and in 1980, the band released its most acclaimed album, Ace of Spades. During the course of a career spanning thirty plus years, the band has been through quite a few lineup changes but with Lemmy at the helm throughout. Motörhead has released nineteen full-lengths, including last year’s Motörizer.

Motörhead’s brand of aggressive speed metal has influenced numerous thrash metal outfits over the decades, including Metallica, who covered four Motörhead songs on 1995’s Motörheadache (and re-released their renditions on 1998’s Garage Inc.). We remember making the effort to see Motörhead in concert when they last performed in Austin (during SXSW 2008, also at Stubb’s), but after a glance at the line wrapped around many a block for that coveted day show, we thought better of it. We won’t be passing up another opportunity to witness the legendary English band in all its glory. You shouldn’t either -- check out Lemmy’s cameo on Young Heart Attack’s cover of AC/DC’s “Get It Hot”, then head down to Stubb’s on Sunday and enjoy a mouth watering bill that also includes Nashville Pussy and Reverend Horton Heat.
