Steel Panther the glam metal band from Los Angeles, California, mostly known for their profane and humorous lyrics as well as their exaggerated on-stage personas. Formed in 2000, their lineup consists of vocalist Ralph Saenz (“Michael Starr”), drummer Darren Leader (“Stix Zadinia”), bassist Travis Haley (“Lexxi Foxxx”), and guitarist Russ Parrish (“Satchel”).

The quartet began to gain popularity in the Sunset Strip at the beginning of 2000 under the name Metal Shop. The band did weekly shows on Monday nights at the Viper Room, playing covers of 1980s hair metal hits while parodying the bands that made the songs famous. Despite presenting themselves under different stage names, two members of the band were already in other heavy metal acts. Frontman Michael Starr, using his name Ralph Saenz, had been in glam metal band L.A. Guns between 1997 and 1998, publishing the EP “Wasted.” Guitarist Satchel was part of War & Peace, founded by ex Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson and the band Fight, founded by Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford.

On August 13, 2014, Steel Panther performed a secret gig under the name “Jam Prancer” to celebrate the 21st anniversary of The Viper Room. They played a short set of covers, and only played one Steel Panther song. The entire show was filmed and can be seen at JamPrancer.com
The band , recently added to the KISS KRUISE V lineup, released their fourth album, “ All You Can Eat” in 2014 leading to both an American and European tours.

All you lovers of hairbands will not want to miss Steel Panther when the All You Can Eat Tour hits Bethlehem!!!!
