Steel Panther
Last night, Todd and I rolled over to The Key Club in Hollywood to catch Camp Freddy's girls, The Darling Stilettos, open up for Steel Panther. Our girls were hot and sexy as hell and put on a killer dance/burlesque show as always. You can catch them before Camp Freddy every Thursday during the month of May at The Roxy. What I didn't expect, and I am admittedly late in the game on this, was that I was about to see probably the most "entertaining" Heavy Metal band I have EVER seen! Steel Panther! Formerly Metal Skool, Steel Panther is cover band of great 80's metal classics combined with a comical flair, that performs each Monday night at The Key Club. If you are a fan of the genre you HAVE TO check them out! I insist! As some of you know I am pretty jaded and have seen a lot of things and going to watch bands is pretty low on my list of priorities... But I was riveted. They are great fun, funny as hell and AMAZING musicians. The singer and guitar player are probably the best all around 80's metal coverists/players/imitators I have ever seen. This is a "glowing" review of a show that I plan to see many more times in the future. Long live Steel Panther!

Finally got it to play, it was stopping and starting and generally being a pain. I was impressed those boots stayed on, perhaps not cool if one had flown off into the audience but highly entertaining. As someone else commented (Margaret and Yoli I think) another reason to be pissed off there's an ocean between me and the LA entertainment.
The UK NME had an article about Jane's God award but it wasn't that detailed and there were only a couple of pics. What was written was complimentary though, makes a change from their usual journalism.
Thanks Dave for all the posts and music........SB
PS. Liked the psychic Sarah website posted by Linda P., unfortunately I'm not psychic and the cynic in me wonders whether she is.

Horse whip??? PLEASE!!!! Bit??? YES, please. Hmmmm....saddle... Does that mean you want to ride me, Ms. Sarah?!?! **giggles** (That fact that you constantly say how uninteresting you are means that you are in fact fascinating...and a dear friend that I can't help but tease occasionally.)
Interesting band. Gave me a good laugh.
Hope everyone is well...
Nicole XOXO
