Motorheadache

Motörheadache is a three-piece tribute to Lemmy's musical career with Motörhead for 40 years from 1975 to 2015. Set up by lifelong Motörhead fan Rob Campbell on Rickenbacker bass and vocals, Rob captures the essence of Lemmy in voice, stage clothes and his grinding mid-range bass sound.

Guitar duties are taken up by Phil Powell, who is also guitarist with Street Outlaws. On drums it’s Garry ‘Magpie’ Bowler, who has a long-established career as a drummer for bands such as Mournblade and recently The Deep. Garry also worked with Phil Campbell and Wurzel from Motörhead on the demo sessions for the March or Die album.

Motörheadache have toured the UK and Europe extensively from February 2016 onwards with more than 300 dates at biker rallys, large festivals and showcase gigs in O2 Academy venues in Glasgow, Newcastle and London. European dates have included Switzerland, Bratislava, Amsterdam, Lindos, Cyprus and the first tribute band to ever play Hard Rock Hell in Ibiza.

Set List

The main body of the Motörheadache’s set list comprises a large number of songs from Motörhead’s Fast Eddie Clarke era, regarded by many Motörheadbangers as the classic era from 1975 to 1982. Songs include “Ace of Spades”, “Bomber”, “Overkill”, “Iron Fist”, “The Hammer”, “Damage Case” and the thunderous “Motörhead”. In tribute to Phil Campbell and Wurzel, Motörheadache also play material written by Motörhead from 1984 through to when Motörhead ended in 2015 with Lemmy’s death. Songs from this period include “Killed by Death”, “In the Name of Tragedy”, “Sacrifice”, “Ramones” “Burner” and “Victory or Die”.

Motörheadache is proud to help keep alive the music of Motörhead by playing gigs all over the UK and Europe and invites Motörhead fans to celebrate the life and work of a rock icon and legend, Mr Lemmy Kilmister.
