For Immediate Release:
MOTORHEAD AND CORROSION OF CONFORMITY
JOIN FORCES FOR SPRING 2005 TOUR
The immortal Motorhead and mighty Corrosion Of Conformity will hit the
road for a North American tour in spring 2005.
Motorhead -- celebrating its 30th anniversary this year with a third
career Grammy Award nomination -- makes a triumphant return to these
shores after a 2004 fall tour was canceled due to an injury suffered by
vocalist/bassist Lemmy. At last, Lemmy, guitarist Philip Campbell and
drummer Mikkey Dee are able to perform on this continent to promote
their Metal-Is/Sanctuary Records release 'Inferno.' This remarkable
album earned mountains of overwhelmingly positive reviews. In fact, the
Associated Press called 'Inferno' the best Motorhead album ever.
"Corrosion Of Conformity are a fine band as everybody knows. Also,
they must be one of the few bands who have been going as long as
Motorhead! Still, we'll give them a run for their money!" says Lemmy.
"Glad to have those boys along."
Corrosion Of Conformity, also known as COC, will give audiences a
tantalizing taste of the blistering new Sanctuary Records album 'In The
Arms Of God,' which is scheduled for release on April 5, 2005.
Vocalist/guitarist Pepper Keenan, guitarist Woody Weatherman, bass
guitarist Mike Dean and special guest drummer Stanton Moore (best known
as a member of Galactic) have recorded an album of visceral power
that's a worthy follow-up to 2000's 'America's Volume Dealer.'
Scheduling conflicts will prevent Moore from touring with the band.
Jason Patterson (Cry Of Love) will serve as COC's touring drummer.
"Lemmy and Motorhead are to heavy metal and our roots what Johnny Cash
is to country," says Keenan. "It's an honor and a privilege to deliver
volume on the same stage...now up the f%#kin' hammers! Not to mention
we've got the baddest skulls in heavy metal!"
Motorhead will also be performing at World Wrestling Entertainment’s
WrestleMania 21 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA, on Sunday,
April 3rd.
Motorhead/COC shows confirmed at this time are listed below. Many more
are forthcoming. For all the latest updates, visit www.imotorhead.com
