Lock up your daughters. And for that matter, block your ears and close your eyes if you don't like lewd lyrics and seeing girly-looking guys wearing unfeasibly tight trousers, because 80s glam metal revivalists Steel Panther play Auckland's Powerstation on October 2.
Singer Michael Starr, guitarist Satchel, bass player Lexxi Foxx and drummer Stix Zadinia don't just play hair metal music, they uphold the traditions of the hedonistic era, which means their interests are girls, animal prints and girls wearing animal prints.
Which is why you should definitely lock up your daughters.
However, though the Los Angeles group satirise glam metal's worst excesses, these guys are no novelty act. Last year Steel Panther supported their mates Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Guns N' Roses; and at recent shows they have been joined on stage by everyone from Paul Stanley (Kiss) and Sebastian Bach (formerly of Skid Row) to pop star Pink and Mr Achy Breaky Heart himself, Billy Ray Cyrus.
Latest album Balls Out, with hard rockin' songs like Supersonic Sex Machine and Just Like Tiger Woods, continues where 2009 debut Feel The Steel, which included Steel Panther anthem Death To All But Metal, left off.
