Up-and-coming Auckland band Blue
Ruin has been confirmed as the support act for Steel Panther’s
one-off New Zealand show this month.
The all-girl five piece formed in 2015 and has quickly developed a loyal
fan-base with their full tilt, theatrical live performances and unique blend of
hardcore punk and classic rock, with a metal edge.
Hot in demand, Blue Ruin
has just finished touring the North Island with rock goddess Cherie Currie from The Runaways and has
played with other legendary acts such as Misfits
and Buckcherry.
The band’s now poised to release its first single Scream Queen. Punctuated
with grungy riffs and the eerie feeling that places the listener in the midst
of their own personal horror movie this is a rock song like no other. And it’s
indicative of Blue
Ruin’s incomparable performance and style.
Presented by MJR
Presents, Steel
Panther will play the iconic Powerstation in Auckland on June
26. It comes hot on the heels of the release of their Live Acoustic
record and feature film, Live
from Lexxi’s Mom’s Garage.
As anyone who’s ever been to a Steel
Panther gig can attest to – this show is not for the
faint-hearted. In fact, expect an all-out assault on your ears, moral standing
and your private parts.
Live From Lexxi’s Mom’s
Garage is the band’s first full length film, featuring a live
10 song acoustic concert interspersed with comedic vignettes showcasing the
band’s unmatched shenanigans and debauchery. The one-hour film is now available
on DVD from Steel Panther’s
label, Kobalt Records,
at SteelPantherRocks.com. The album only version can be found on Amazon,
iTunes, and wherever music is sold.
For the uninitiated, Steel
Panther was formed in 2000 and is Michael Starr (lead
singer), Satchel (guitarist),
Lexxi Foxx
(bass) and Stix Zadinia
(drums). The fearsome foursome are not stopping anytime soon. “Our drive to
bring heavy metal back has not lessened,” concludes Michael Starr. “It’s
actually gotten stronger. We’re not going to stop. I look forward to our continued
world domination.”
