[HAIR METAL] “Facebook can’t handle profanity or sex so we had to remove our bio,” actually tells you more about Steel Panther than any PR firm-generated bio ever could. If Will Farrell did a parody on heavy metal bands a la Anchor Man or Blades of Steel, his parody heavy metal band would be something quite like Steel Panther. The thing is, Steel Panther isn’t a parody. They genuinely and non-satirically deliver lines like “Sometimes the back door is the only way in”—one of their songs is elegantly titled “It Won’t Suck Itself.” Needless to say, there are very few feminists in the crowd at Steel Panther shows. But if what you’re looking for is a hair metal throw back that lays it on thick—like beyond Spinal Tap thick—then maybe this is for you. Find out for yourself this Wednesday, April 12 at the Rapids Theatre. Citizen Zero opens the show.
