Queues snaked around the Manchester Apollo of both young and old ready for the treats that behold inside. A flurry of Lycra, leather and big hair it was pretty obvious which Californian Glam rock 4 piece they were ready to be 'Community Property' for... Welcome Steel Panther! |

On a wet and windy night in Soho a crowd of 50/60 huddle into the infamous Crobar, Manette Street's premium bar, music sheet wallpaper and memorabilia adorning the walls with wooden vintage floors to give the feel of an old school rock bar, on entry names were taken and crossed off whilst vouchers were handed out for a drink to cure your "Valentine's hangover!" - courtesy of Glam Rockers Steel Panther. |

Humorous hit after hit hounded the stage as the Los Angeles super band exhilarated the crowd with tongue in cheek 'Just like Tiger Woods' and 'Party Like Tomorrow Is The End Of The World' before slapstick 'Asian Hooker' echoed around the arena, crowd chanting along whilst male crowd surfers were being pulled from the crowd by security. |

Tonight is the opening night of the tour and everybody is in high spirits. A lot of the fans here have taken it upon themselves to get glammed up for the occasion and why not? With the line up of bands that we have on show tonight everyone is in a for a treat. |

So, where do you start with a band like Steel Panther?

Well I still didn’t really know what to expect, so when we arrived at the O2 in Newcastle I had heard a few tracks tracks, marvelled at their lyrical capability – more later readers - but couldn’t wait to see them in the flesh. |
