For The Art, it began in Newtown, Sydney where their edgy, fast-paced live shows gained not only local success, but also caught the attention of LA booker and ex Guns N' Roses manager, Vicky Hamilton. On the back of relentless touring supporting the likes of Them Crooked Vultures, Marilyn Manson and The Pixies amongst others, The Art are returning to Australia with their latest album in tow ‘Here Comes The War’. Beat Magazine raved about it calling them “big, bold, brassy, noisy and simply plain fun…they blaze a trail of indie rock without the shoegazing or boring, jangly, garage-y simplicity.” - Beat Magazine

For Steel Panther, bringing the halcyon days of metal back to the world is not a job…it’s a mission statement, a modus operandi, and a way of life.

In their first ever headline tour of Australia, Steel Panther are primed for an all-out assault on the senses with Michael Starr commenting “I can’t wait to get my balls out in some fresh Australian air!” and Stixx adding ”I can’t wait to come to Australia and rock all the genitals off your women then they’ll know what America tastes like!”

They have remained rock's best kept secret for decades -- prowling the Sunset Strip with weekly residencies while keeping the sleazy flame of rock 'n' rock alive…”But no longer. The ferocious Steel Panther has been let out of its iron cage and has only one mission: to roar with the tiger-like growl and strut with the sensual prance of glam rock n' roll from the halcyon days of the 1980s.” – Metal As Fuck

With their brand new album ‘Balls Out’ in tow and having just been nominated for Metal Hammer’s "Best International Band" Award, Steel Panther will be bringing their full live show extravaganza to Australia this October!
