Steel Panther (2010)

Steel Panther is the hottest band out of Hollywood since Motley Crüe, Guns N' Roses and Poison ruled the Sunset Strip. Arriving in 2009 with debut album Feel The Steel - hailed by Kerrang! magazine as "close to perfect" - Steel Panther has won a legion of fans across the world. Filmed in 2010 in London, "The British Invasion" will finally see a release this year, after almost 2 years of anticipation. The release features the full set of hilarious tongue in cheek songs filmed at Brixton Academy in 2010. Steel Panther get a lot of stick, but they are what they are, an '80s metal/hard rock "tribute band" (formerly known as Metal Skool). Debut album "Death to all but Metal" did extremely well, and now the band are riding high off followup "Balls Out". Onstage, the band both pays tribute to and lampoons the heyday of '80s glam metal. The group's between-song comedy includes jests at conflict between band members, discussions of drugs, sex, and improvised humor with the crowd.
