Motley Crue Named 2011 SSMF Honorees!
We’re thrilled to announce that rockers MÖTLEY CRÜE are returning to their Sunset Strip roots on Aug. 18 as the official honorees of the fourth annual Sunset Strip Music Festival! The award ceremony at the House of Blues Sunset Strip will celebrate the band’s influence on the music boulevard and kick off the three-day festival.
"It’s an honor to be recognized by the Sunset Strip Music Festival," said drummer Tommy Lee. "It means a lot to us that we are recognized for our contribution to this historic place."
Mötley Crüe started their career on The Sunset Strip, as they performed many nights at the Whisky A Go-Go and The Roxy Theatre. The band also filmed their “Kickstart My Heart” video at the Whisky and for a while lived just up the street from the venue on Clark Street, making The Sunset Strip their official home.
