MOTOR SISTER announce first ever UK tour in January

MOTOR SISTER who feature Mother Superior founder, guitarist, and vocalist Jim Wilson fronting the band, with Anthrax's Scott Ian on guitar, Pearl Aday on backing vocals, Joey Vera on bass, and John Tempesta on drums, have announced they will hit the UK for the first time ever in January 2016 to play ten in-your-face shows.

And they can't wait:

Jim Wilson - "Motor Sister in the UK! Get down and get with it!"

Scott Ian - "Motor Sister was born at a crazy party in the jam room at our house, just the five of us rocking our asses off. And now we get to bring that party to the UK!!! It's a privilege my friends! See you soon."

Pearl Aday - "We love the UK. No better place to start bringing Motor Sister to the world. We'll see you there, friends! Cheers, love, rock."

MOTOR SISTER

Tour w/ Jared James Nichols

January 2016

6th MILTON KEYNES - Craufurd Arms

7th LOWESTOFT - Aquarium

8th GRIMSBY - Yardbirds

9th NOTTINGHAM - Rescue Rooms

10th WOLVERHAMPTON - Slade Rooms

12th GLASGOW - Cathouse

13th YORK - Fibbers

14th MANCHESTER - Sound Control

15th SHEFFIELD - Corporation

16th LONDON - Underworld

Support will come from JARED JAMES NICHOLS who recently release his debut album Old Glory And The Wild Revival.

MOTOR SISTER was originally assembled to jam for Scott Ian's fiftieth birthday party. Thanks to Scott's wife Pearl Aday, who has been working on her solo career with Mother Superior front man Jim Wilson for years, all it took was a quick phone call and the stage was literally set for Scott's dream gig.

Enthralled at the idea of making a record of his favorite Mother Superior songs, Ian emailed producer Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Steel Panther) and asked if he thought it was possible to recapture the same spontaneous energy MOTOR SISTER generated at their makeshift gig, and if an album could be recorded quickly.

Ride was released to great acclaim earlier this year on Metal Blade Records and debuted on the Billboard charts after its first week of release. The album cracked the top 10 with the #9 position on the Billboard New Artist (Heatseekers) chart.

"All you really need to know about Ride is that it kicks a massive amount of ass" Revolver Magazine

"The retro rock and roll band that you didn't even know you were missing in your life until right now!" MetalInjection.net

"This is kick ass classic sounding hard rock! Blazing guitars, great vocals and songs! Everything I love most about hard rock music in one killer album." Eddie Trunk

MEGADETH ANNOUNCE U.K. TOUR, NEW STUDIO ALBUM

Tuesday, February 12, 2013 ˆMetal heavyweights Megadeth have today announced that they will be touring the U.K. in June of this year. They will play headline shows in Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester and London. Megadeth tickets go onsaleat 9 a.m. on Friday, February 15, and are available from www.livenation.co.uk or www.ticketmaster.co.uk. 

For a heavy metal band that‚s been around for nearly three decades, selling more than 38 million albums worldwide, earning numerous accolades including 11 Grammy® nominations, scoring five consecutive platinum albums˜including 1992‚s two-million-selling Countdown to Extinction˜Megadeth‚s founder, leader and primal guitar-slinger and lyricist Dave Mustaine feels the best is yet to come, especially after signing an exclusive worldwide deal with Universal Music Enterprises(UMe).

Currently working in their studio in San Diego on their 14th studio album titled Super Collider, Mustaine, along with bassist Dave Ellefson, drummer Shawn Drover and guitarist Chris Broderick, are looking forward to its release in June 2013.

Megadeth‚s Super Collider is the first release through Mustaine‚s new label, Tradecraft, through UMe.

„It was a real thrill for us to learn there was an opportunity to join Universal,‰ said Mustaine during a break in the sessions. „It seems like every time you see a great band or music video, it comes from the Universal label. Being with Universal is by far the most exciting and prestigious home for Megadeth ever! We are electrified with what the future holds and the possibilities such a powerhouse like Universal will bring for us all. We have worked with some great people over the years, and it is amazing to see so many of them on the Universal team for our new record, Super Collider. If Megadeth being here isn‚t satiating enough, having Tradecraft as my own label is going to be really amazing for metal bands around the world.

With a new found energy with the band, Mustaine is raring to go, preparing for his latest tour, marking the 20th anniversary of their best-selling Countdown to Extinctionalbum. Mustaine added, „Shawn, Chris and David have all been feverishly contributing some great music and I believe we are doing our best work ever together in the studio right now!

„Megadeth is not just one of the most successful metal bands, but one of the most influential rock bands of the past 30 years,‰ said UMe President/CEO Bruce Resnikoff in making the announcement. „They continue to be a huge draw on the road with their longtime fans as well as continually adding new fans. I look forward to working together with them.

With the recent acquisition of EMI, UMe now brings together Megadeth‚s classic, 14-year, seven-album Capitol catalog, which includes one multi-platinum release (Œ92‚s Countdown to Extinction), four platinum records (Œ86‚s Peace Sells... But Who‚s Buying?; Œ88‚s So Far, So Good... So What?; Œ90‚s Rust in Peace; Œ94‚sYouthanasia), and one gold (Œ97‚sCryptic Writings). In all, the band has scored five U.S. Top 10 albums (including 2007‚s United Abominations and 2009‚s Endgame) and two Top 5 releases, with 2011‚s TH1RT3EN debuting at No.1 on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart.
