Steel Panther is an American rock band hailing from Los Angeles, California, renowned for their glitzy personas and exuberant homage to the glam metal aesthetic and culture of the 1980s. The band was formed in the early 2000s and consists of Michael Starr (lead vocals), Satchel (guitar, backing vocals), Lexxi Foxx (bass, backing vocals), and Stix Zadinia (drums, backing vocals). Known for their irreverent and often raunchy lyrics, as well as their comedic stage performances, Steel Panther has established themselves as a high-energy act that offers a tongue-in-cheek take on the sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll lifestyle that defined the glam metal era they draw inspiration from.

Their discography, including titles such as "On the Prowl," "Heavy Metal Rules," and "Lower The Bar," is a testament to their dedication to both parody and praise of the excesses of 80s metal. Despite the comedic overtones, the band's musicianship and grasp of the genre have won them a dedicated fan base. Songs like "Fuck 2020" and "Gods of Pussy" reflect their ability to tackle current events and cultural commentary with the same bold, unapologetic attitude that characterizes their approach to music. With their deliberately over-the-top style and celebration of decadence, Steel Panther continues to be a band that provides both a nostalgic trip for those who lived through the hair metal phase and an audacious introduction for those discovering it anew.
