A brand new track called "We Are The Lamb" and has debuted today at NOISECREEP.COM, the band recently shot a video for said track last month in New York. "'We Are The Lamb is the first single and is about as musically devastating as we get. It is a tale of self sacrifice, to give those you love a chance to grow and learn to live for themselves. I cannot express to you how proud of this album we are. 'I've Failed You' is real, honest, angry and ugly" says front woman Morgan Lander.

Please note that this will be an early show. Doors open at 6:30 PM. Show starts at 7:30 PM and there will not be any opening acts.

This special event will also be the first ever reunion of the Strength In Numbers line up featuring Jeff Brodnax (vocals), Joel Maitoza (drums), Jimi Hazel and Rick Skatore commemorating the 20 year anniversary of the This is…24-7 SPYZ lineup!

24-7 Spyz came onto the funk-rock scene in 1989 with their debut album, titled Harder Than You, followed by Gumbo Millennium in 1990 (both on In Effect/Relativity Records). The band then released a 5 song EP titled This is…24-7 Spyz in 1991 after signing with Eastwest/Atlantic Records with the full length release in 1992 Strength In Numbers which included the single, 'Stuntman', that was featured in a Budweiser television commercial as well as an episode of Beavis And Butthead. 1995 brought the original lineup back together for the release of Temporarily Disconnected (Enemy Records) which after a short tour, drummer Joel Maitoza reunited with Jimi Hazel and Rick Skatore to record the CDs 6 (Enemy Records) and Heavy Metal Soul By The Pound (released in the US on the What Are Records? label) in 1996. A live EP titled If I Could, was released in 1997 also with the 3-piece lineup. Most recently, the band has been promoting their CD Face the Day which was released in 2006.

Former MOTÖRHEAD Guitarist WÜRZEL Reportedly Dead At 61 - July 9, 2011

According to a posting on the Facebook page of Tim Butcher, MOTÖRHEAD leader Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister's longtime bass tech and "right-hand man," former MOTÖRHEAD guitarist Michael "Würzel" Burston died earlier today (Saturday, July 9). He was 61 years old.

Before joining MOTÖRHEAD in 1984, Burston had been a corporal in the Army, serving in Germany and Ireland with the 1st Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment, and had played in the bands BASTARD and WARFARE. Joining another relatively unknown guitarist, Phil Campbell, they played together at a MOTÖRHEAD audition, and both were taken on.

Burston acquired the nickname Würzel while in the Army, being compared to the character Worzel Gummidge due to his scarecrow-style hair and bumpkin-like manner. Lemmy reportedly demanded that Würzel add an umlaut to the "U" in his name, for "heavy metal effect."

Würzel can be heard on the following MOTÖRHEAD albums:

* No Remorse (1984)
* Orgasmatron (1986)
* Rock 'n' Roll (1987)
* Nö Sleep at All (1988)
* The Birthday Party (1990)
* 1916 (1991)
* March ör Die (1992)
* Bastards (1993)
* Sacrifice (1995)

Würzel left MOTÖRHEAD in 1995.

For the past couple of years, Burston has played with a new band called LEADER OF DOWN, which last month headlined the main stage at the U.K. fundraising music festival "Never Mind The Bullocks" in aid of Midlands Air Ambulance.
