Soak it all in.

On the West Coast, we have Steel Panther. A hair metal tour-de-force thats been burning up Monday nights on the Sunset Strip for years! On the East Coast around the same time MetalShop/MetalSkool/SteelPanther was being formed, they had Satanicide. A group of Jer-Z Boyz sent to bring metal back to the jaded Brooklyn alt-hipster-bro culture  (w/a Celine Dion cover, even!). From Satanicide came Tragedy: The Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees and now in the wake of the death of the King of Pop comes Dangerous: An All Metal Tribute to Michael Jackson. Based purely on this photo they sent me…I think it should be fucking ridiculous amazing!

Should you be in New York, you should schmon! down to the Bowery Ballroom on August 1st for this show. One night only! Tickets Available Here.

And his success certainly had nothing to do with a particular president.
