Steel Panther<\/p><\/div>\n

Are you ready to ROOOCCKKKK??!!!<\/p>\n

Some would say they’re kind of a revival band for the spandex, big hair, 80’s cock rock movement, but they’ll probably tell you they’ve been doing it for years, maybe even more!
\nSteel Panther<\/a> encompasses all that was so right and at the same time so wrong with the music of the time, they switch between original material and some of the greatest karaoke songs of all time, all the while with their tongue planted firmly in their cheek, a hand on their crotch and the other giving you “The Shocker<\/a>” (also the title of one of their most infamous songs).<\/p>\n

Shacked up in their one of three weekly haunts, LA’s House of Blues<\/a>, support on the night was from Alevela<\/a>, and Run Devil Run<\/a>, both with a more standard rock fairing. However, there was no mistaking when the SP guys took to the stage through a cloud of hair spray. Over the top lighting, huge tiger print banner, more hair flicking than Romy and Michelle’s<\/a> prom and more phallic symbols, sexual innuendos and poor taste jokes than an episode of The Footy show<\/a>. All delivered with unashamed arrogant showmanship and gusto. Dick jokes, bum jokes, sex jokes, jokes about sex with pregnant women, nothing was left untouched, figuratively or physically!<\/p>\n

The only real surprise was how much trouble they had getting the girls on stage to get their kit off even though it seemed fine for them from the audience! Modesty, it can strike and the most inopportune time.
\n
\nTravel tips: Free parking is available at the venue down the side street off Sunset Blvd. There is also plenty of metered parking out the front, however max. is 2 hours. The House of Blues is a multi level venue\/restaurant with a footprint deceptively larger than that of the Arena in Brisbane. Three large bars on the concert level with fast and friendly service and drink specials through out the night. ATM also on site.<\/em><\/p>\n
