STEEL PANTHER Bassist LEXXI FOXX - "Everyone Knows That The More Colors You Wear, The More Bitching You Look, The More Chicks You Get, And The More Fun You Are To Watch"

The Daily Times recently caught up with Steel Panther bassist Lexxi Foxx (sometimes known as Travis Haley) to discuss the band's appeal and what makes an '80s metal band in the 21st century totally bitchin'. An excerpt is available below: 

“That’s something we wanted to do — bring back heavy metal,” Foxx (because Haley is clearly not on the other end of the line) told The Daily Times during a recent interview. “That era was so fun, because it’s cool when you go to a concert and see guys that don’t look like they work at a gas station. That was the era of real rock stars — guys in Warrant and KISS and Danger Danger, guys that took pride in their appearance. Everyone knows that the more colors you wear, the more bitching you look, the more chicks you get and the more fun you are to watch. That’s what the ’80s were about, and it’s just really cool we’re bringing that back.”
“It’s about how you look and not necessarily how you play,” he said. “I make mistakes every night, but I don’t care; I just want to look bitchin’. I leave it up to everyone else in my band to play good. That’s really all we know, and that’s the reason why we continue to do this — what to look for, what to wear, how high to wear your hair, the right amount of makeup to wear when you go out during the day, because you don’t want to look like you’re trying too hard. You want to try just enough to look impressive to attract (women), and I think we do that with the bracelets and bandanas and mascara and eyeliner and lip gloss.”

Hailing from Los Angeles, the epicenter for rock n’ roll in all its debauchery and glamour, Steel Panther have established themselves as the world’s premier party band, melding hard rock virtuosity with parody and criminally good looks. With three full-length albums, touring across the world, platinum-level YouTube status and high-profile television appearances such as Jimmy Kimmel Live, Larry King Now, and FOX NFL Sunday, the band is touring in support of their latest effort, All You Can Eat (Open E Records via Kobalt Label Services). Released in April, 2014, the album bowed at #24 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart; which also garnered the band their third consecutive #1 album on the Top Current Comedy chart.

Tour dates:

28 – Milwaukee, WI – The Rave
