In a proclamation made by Mayor Lee Leffingwell, March 8, 2011, has been decreed as 'Motorhead Day' in the city of Austin. This event coincides with Motorhead's local performance at Stubb's Ampitheater on the evening of their dedicated day. Local musician David Siddall reportedly made the formal request to the Mayor's Office, and a signed proclamation was issued on parchment with the official state seal.
The proclamation states:
Be it known that
Whereas,
The Live Music Capital of the World welcomes the band Motorhead to our City for one of the many stops on its US Tour; and,
Whereas,
Motorhead, founded by Lemmy Klimister [sic], recently celebrated its 35th Anniversary of making music that has received worldwide recognition; and,
Whereas,
Motorhead's current tour coincides with the US release of its latest album "The World is Yours;" and,
Whereas,
We extend best wishes for a great show in Austin and continued success for the band;
Now, Therefore,
I, Lee Leffingwell, Mayor of The Live Music Capital of the World, do hereby proclaim March 8, 2011, as Motorhead Day in Austin
Never let it be said that Austin doesn't have some truly metal moments from time to time. This proclamation will undoubtedly be presented to Lemmy and Motorhead tomorrow evening, so stay tuned for more commentary on this excellent grass-roots metal effort!
