Info for Lower The Bar

Steel Panther haben sich längst einen Ruf als beste Party-Band der Welt gemacht, denn sie vereinen Hard Rock mit Parodie und unverschämt gutem Aussehen. Bestehend aus Leadsänger Michael Starr, Gitarrist Satchel, Bassist Lexxi Foxx und Schlagzeuger Stix Zadinia schafft die Hair-Metal-Band aus Los Angeles es nun erneut: Sie sehen gut aus, sie klingen gut - ganz wie es ihre Fans, die die Band liebevoll 'Fanthers' nennt, von ihren Glam Rock Helden gewohnt sind. Alles, was auf Steel Panthers Alben zu hören ist, ist vom wahren Leben inspiriert. "Es ist unsere vertonte Lebensgeschichte", so Satchel.

Steel Panther sind bekannt als beste Neo-Metal, Glam-Revival-Parodie-Band, sie haben bisher vier Studioalben veröffentlicht und Platin-Status auf YouTube, sind in etlichen TV-Shows aufgetreten, um die Welt getourt und berühmt-berüchtigt. Am Ende des Tages allerdings hofft dieses fürchterliche Quartett lediglich eins: dass Heavy Metal Weltfrieden bringen kann. "In einer Welt voller Hass und Hoffnungslosigkeit ist es jetzt wichtig, die weltweite Heavy Metal Community ins Spiel zu bringen. Wir hoffen, dass unsere Platte jedem, der sie hört, Weltfrieden und Glück bringt", schlussfolgert Michael. Miezen aufreißen soll natürlich auch nicht außer Acht gelassen werden.

Steel Panther

Steel Panther
Satirically pretending to be a hair metal band that missed its big break in the '80s, singer Ralph Saenz ("Michael Starr"), drummer Darren Leader ("Stix Zadinia"), bassist Travis Haley ("Lexxi Foxxx"), and guitarist Russ Parrish ("Satchel") hit the club circuit on the Sunset Strip around the turn of the millennium under the name Metal Shop (later changed to Metal Skool, and then to Steel Panther). With big, spiky wigs, leather jackets, zebra-striped spandex, chops earned from playing in a Van Halen tribute band, and lots and lots of machismo, their comic take on sex, drugs, and rock & roll to the extreme caught on quickly, leading to sold-out shows and some unexpected brushes with mainstream success. As their popularity increased, the Hollywood crowd started frequenting their sets, often making appearances on-stage. This led to some opportunities: the band fittingly played the role of a metal band as "Danger Kitty" in a Discover Card commercial; they appeared on The Drew Carey Show as themselves; and their song "FF" was used as the theme for MTV's Fantasy Factory.

In 2008, the band signed to Universal Republic. After releasing the singles "Death for All But Metal" and "Community Property," Steel Panther's full-length Feel the Steel was released in October of 2009. The album broke the band onto the Billboard chart, netting them a spot at number 98 on the U.S. charts (and 48 on the rock chart). Not wanting the fun to stop, the band got back to it quickly and in 2011 followed up with Balls Out, which featured guest appearances from comedian Dane Cook and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger, among others. 2014's All You Can Eat featured the single "Party Like Tomorrow Is the End of the World," and featured cover art parodying Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper. In 2016, the band issued their first concert LP, Live from Lexxi's Mom's Garage, which was released in conjunction with their first full-length feature film, which blended comedic vignettes and other assorted antics with the aforementioned glam-folk garage show.

At the end of 2016, Steel Panther released a cover of Cheap Trick's "She's Tight" in advance of their fourth studio album Lower the Bar, which arrived in March 2017. The group headed out on tour in support of the album, playing dates across the world before embarking on their Sunset Strip Live tour, which saw the band playing a mix of original material and classic metal covers. Tapping producer Jay Ashton for their fifth album, the band dropped the unabashed Heavy Metal Rules in late 2019, preceded by the single "All I Wanna Do Is Fuck (Myself Tonight)."

This album contains no booklet.
