In a couple of weeks legendary metal trio Motorhead will bypass our main centres to play two gigs in provincial New Plymouth right in the heart of Taranaki cow country. How milk- curdlingly marvellous! The music will be loud as a battlefield and fast as a Formula ne race. The air will be hot as hell and thick with the smell of male sweat offset with a sickly undercurrent of Lynx. And the bogan multitudes will be out in force many of them clad in the fetching black “Motorhead Taranaki” T-shirts that come free with every ticket. It will be a gathering of the metal-head clans an opportunity for the hairy hoardes of Aotearoa to forget the genteel traditions of the wider world and instead get drunk on decibels ripped on riffs amped on adrenaline and then bellow stomp throw the goat go mental… In a couple of weeks legendary metal trio Motorhead will bypass our main centres to play two gigs in provincial New Plymouth right in the heart of Taranaki cow country.
