Review:
Unveiling the unexpected brilliance of Steel Panther at Bogarts in Cincinnati, OH, I was initially unfamiliar with this hair band sensation, but from the moment they hit the stage, it was clear I was in for a musical revelation. Beyond their uproarious lyrics and side-splitting humor, the musicianship of this group is nothing short of genius. As a photographer, capturing a band that knows how to engage with the camera is pure gold, and Steel Panther effortlessly delivered. Clad in signature spandex and leather, lead singer Michael Starr led the charge with potent vocals and witty banter, while guitarist Satchel's precision solos, alongside the rhythmic foundation provided by bassist "Spyder" and drummer "Stix," showcased a band at the top of their game. The crowd's fervor peaked with anthems like "Eyes Of A Panther," "Death to All But Metal," and "Community Property," punctuated by the band's impeccable comedic timing. The evening's zenith arrived during a spirited singalong with female fans during "Party All Day (Fuck All Night)" & "Gloryhole," igniting a frenzy of excitement. In essence, Steel Panther's performance was a riotous blend of heavy metal and comedy, leaving the audience clamoring for an encore. Count me as a lifelong fan eagerly anticipating the next opportunity to capture their electrifying stage presence.
Special mention to the high-energy opening act, "Moon Fever," adding to the night's rock spectacle with their latest single, "Feels So Good." Arrive early; this tour promises an unforgettable musical experience from start to finish.
