HOLYFUCKINGSHIT Motorhead's coming back to KC on September 24, at the Midland Theater with Reverend Horton Heat and Nashville Pussy.
If you haven't seen Motorhead you need to see Motorhead. The Rev and Nashville Pussy are OK, too, but they're not Motorhead. Any attempt to describe their live show will only, at best, dissolve into the type of mad surrealism that governs the Book of Revelations. Here's Jason Harper trying in a review of Motorhead's 2008 KC show at the Voodoo Loung
As if our big, insane 496th annual (yes, the first on was in the year 1513) Pitch Music Showcase wasn't enough late summer live concert mania, this Friday, July 24, we're holding our First Annual Pitch Block Party. Jim HeathThe Heat is on this Friday at the Pitch Block Party.

You can also get this ridiculous deluxe edition that comes with a shot glass, tribute compilation, and is housed in a replica speedometer. Crazy.
