Corny or not, I’m low-key into all of Steel Panther‘s antics. They are extra as all hell, and that brings me quite a bit of joy. The revelation of this has basically bitch slapped me in the face, but it’s been 15 years since their debut album Feel the Steel came out. On top of a dedicated tour celebrating it, they’ve also created a whole lil series talking about all the lil details. The seven-minute debut episode called “From Cover Band to Writing Originals” can be seen below.
“You didn’t think we were done celebrating, did you?! Join us as we take a look back at the album critics hailed as ‘An exercise in taking a joke too far!’ Let’s take a deep dive on all things ‘Feel The Steel’! In this episode, Michael, Satchel and Stix reflect on making the transition from cover band to writing original music.”
You’re right, Steel Panther. SILLY ME for thinking y’all were done celebrating. The nerve I must have. Anyway, they’ve got two more legs of their “Feel The Steel 15th Anniversary Tour”—the first in the United States starting in March, with the second happening in Europe over the summer. If you want to see them live, which I highly recommend, you can get more info and tickets and shit here.
