Sex'd Up Steel Panther Bring Back The 80s

If you thought that 80's music was a thing of the past, then you are sadly mistaken and you obviously haven't heard of the escapades of Steel Panther. This band is truly what the 80's were all about - the music, the show, the clothes, the hair, and the attitude. Lexxi (Steel Panther bass guitar and back-up vocals) wants "to bring the 80's back for many reason, but for all the people that lived through the 80's and saw how bitchin' it was and lived through it. I also want to bring it back for the ones that didn't experience how bitchin the 80's were and lifestyle, partying all the time. These poor kids didn't get to live through that and now were bringing it back so they can live it".

The Sunset Strip glammers Steel Panther are returning to Canada for another Vancouver date. The band is scheduled for an August 4 Commodore Ballroom return engagement. It's almost as if they're becoming the house band for the legendary bar. This show follows a series of sold-out shows this summer (one each month). RockStar Weekly was able to have a quick chat with them and found out the in-depth workings of Lexxi Foxxx and Michael Starr. So stickaround and see what the fuss is about.
