Mötorhead to tour North America in 2011

That's right, fresh off re-recording their classic "Ace of Spades," British heavy metal pioneers Mötorhead are ready to tour the U.S. and Canada in early 2011 in support of their newest album, "The Wörld Is Yours." 

The album has been well-received by critics thus far, and I'll be sure to check it out soon.  The tour is going to be a long one, with over 25 performances planned across the U.S. and Canada, including shows in Minneapolis and Milwaukee (at the Eagles Ballroom).  The full tour schedule is here:
