Vocalist Michael Starr, guitarist Satchel, drummer Stix Zadinia, and bassist Spyder have announced that "Steel Panther are going down… south (get your mind out of the gutter*). Excited to announce we’ll be playing Mexico & South America this October!" The new dates are:

Prior to that, one of Canada’s favourite metal imports, Steel Panther, are on the road again in support of their latest album, On The Prowl, and they’re not doing the all too familiar ‘one and done’ Canadian stop in Toronto. They’ll be stopping in almost every province, going from coast to coast starting in Nova Scotia in early September and wrapping up the month-long Canadian leg in British Columbia on September 28th. So wherever you are, get ready for the show of your life.

Steel Panther has been all over the map lately and fans may have been a bit surprised to learn that they have entered the America’s Got Talent (AGT) race! Because well, we KNOW they’ve got talent, but… this is not a drill. This is not a bit. They (to no surprise) wowed the judges – receiving a standing ovation from the crowd before their first note, another from the judges, and another after their set – and have advanced to the live rounds with an emphatic “YES” from every judge on the panel, which will start later this summer. Just in time to get all kinds of amped up for the fall Canadian shows that will follow.
It was so well received in fact that the judge most well-known for being hard to please, Simon Cowell, summed up his experience watching them play by saying, “Everything about that audition for me was just brilliant.” Watch the audition below, where they played their fan-favourite song, "Eyes Of A Panther", and get a preview of what it’ll be like to see the song live in the new video, taken from the On The Prowl tour, also below.
