The Steel Panther Australian Tour 2013 has been announced, with the band alerting their Aussie fans to “stock up on protection” as they plan to infect Australia with their Spreading the Disease (S.T.D.) Tour.
“WALKABOUT? Don’t you mean ROCKABOUT! December is a time of giving… and taking,” say The Sunset Strip’s hottest exports. “This December, we in Steel Panther are planning on giving Australians the gift of our super bitchin songs in our super bitchin new spandex! We are also planning on taking a bunch of your super bitchin ladies backstage after these extra bitchin shows! So, join us, with our awesome friends Buckcherry, this December, as we go on a rockabout through your bush… down under!”
Steel Panther was, for a long time, rock’s best-kept secret: a cult legend on the LA scene. But in recent years due to the success of their albums and live shows, the band has enjoyed huge acclaim from fans and peers alike. Steel Panther has been joined on stage by rock and roll icons such as Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Paul Stanley of KISS, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park and Green Day to name a few (who knows who will join the lads on stage during their Australian visit!).
The band – Michael Starr, Satchel, Lexxi Foxx and Stix Zadinia – has been in the studio lately working with Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Stone Sour, Meatloaf) on their third full-length album. The album is the follow up to the band’s critically acclaimed 2011 release, Balls Out.
Fellow L.A. rockers Buckcherry will also appear on all shows. Buckcherry have sold 3 million albums globally on the strength of a killer live set, and multiple hits including ‘Crazy Bitch’, ‘Lit Up’, and ‘Sorry’. Their critically acclaimed new album Confessions hit stores in 2013 and as expected it’s another orgy of sweat, swagger and sordid behaviour, as well as releasing a Best Of compilation later this year.
Not many bands can continually lay claim to constantly selling out shows whenever they tour Australia but Steel Panther proudly sit amongst that elite group. Tickets go on sale Friday 27 September, 9am local. Having recently won Live Act Of The Year in the 2012 Loudwire Music Awards beating out the likes of Iron Maiden, Metallica and Tool amongst others tickets will be snapped up quick …you have been warned!
Steel Panther has teamed up with On The List to provide a variety of VIP ticket packages for the tour including dancing on stage, early entrance, meet and greets, photo ops, parties and more. For more information go to www.SteelPantherRocks.com.
