Steel Panther
A Madison holiday tradition continues with Steel Panther hosting the WJJO Yellow Snow Ball. This time, the festive yet debauched tongue-in-cheek glam metal band — decked out with big hair, massive amounts of mascara and obligatory headbands — will be supporting a new album. Heavy Metal Rules emerged in September, and already has spawned the singles “All I Wanna Do Is Fuck (Myself Tonight)” and “Always Gonna Be a Ho.” Frontman Michael Starr led a David Lee Roth-era Van Halen tribute band for years, and Steel Panther’s hook-filled anthems sound like it’s 1988 all over again. Maybe they’ll even whip out their own holiday ditty, “The Stocking Song.” With Stitched Up Heart.
