Lemmy Kilmister 's hometown of Stoke-on-Trent, England, may soon have a music venue dedicated to the Motörhead .
FK Legacy CIC , the company responsible for the 2.25-meter Lemmy statue erected in Burslem Market Square, Stoke-on-Trent , last month, is handling proposals to build the concert venue.
The initial idea is to build a live music club with a capacity of 800 people, called Kilmister Halls . The space may also include a café and a museum, and would replace the currently vacant Queen's Theatre building on Wedgwood Street.
In an interview with the BBC , local artist Andy Edwards , creator of the Lemmy statue, said that the proposed location could attract more touring musicians to the city:
“We have a great musical heritage in this city and we used to attract the best bands,” he explains. “That has been lost, and this new space would make a big difference in bringing it back.”
According to the BBC, the organizers are "analyzing the acquisition of the building and fundraising."
Meanwhile, Motörhead "Leavin' Here" last Thursday, the 12th , the second single and music video from their highly anticipated album The Manticore Tapes , scheduled for release on June 27th.
Originally recorded in 1976, The Manticore Tapes features previously unreleased recordings from the classic Motörhead lineup known as the Three Amigos . Formed a year after the band's creation, the lineup consisted of Lemmy (bass/vocals), Fast Eddie Clarke (guitar), and Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor (drums).
