Motorheadache

A London concert by Motorheadache, a band whose name points to the British heavy metal group Motörhead, staged at O2 Academy2 Islington in the north of the city.

Motorheadache is a tribute act devoted to the music of Motörhead, the British heavy metal band formed in London in 1975 and led for decades by its bassist and singer Lemmy. Motörhead's best-known records include the album Ace of Spades, released in 1980, and its title track, which remains among the band's most recognised songs. The project's music draws on that fast, bass-driven style of hard rock and metal, and this performance is a homage to that catalogue rather than a performance by the original group.

O2 Academy2 Islington is a London venue that hosts concerts and shows throughout the year. The evening suits listeners who know Motörhead's records and want to hear them played live by a different group.
