Jim Breuer has launched a video for Old School

Following an appearance on Howard Stern yesterday (June 7th), Jim Breuer has launched a video for "Old School", taken from Jim Breuer and the Loud & Rowdy's new album, Songs From The Garage. Staying true to the theme of the album, the video begins in Breuer's garage and shows him paying tribute to the rock legends that inspired this musical endeavor in the first place. He and his backing band work their way from practicing in a garage to playing a huge venue, with guest appearances from Ozzy Osbourne, Brian Johnson, and even Kurt Cobain. Breuer says of the track: "This song is the perfect catchy summertime Hard Rock tune for you, and it's a throwback! It's 'OLD SCHOOL'". To watch "Old School", 

please visit: http://noisey.vice.com/blog/jim-breuer--the-loud-and-rowdy-get-loud-rowdy-on-old-school



The recently released Songs From The Garage debuted at #13 on the Billboard Hard Rock Music Albums chart, plus #116 on the Billboard Top Current Albums chart. To preview and purchase the record in various formats, head over to: http://www.metalblade.com/songsfromthegarage/


Songs From The Garage features eleven tracks that are not only funny, but also relatable, reflecting Breuer's position in life: "A dad with three kids who loves family life, yet is still a metalhead at heart." Breuer set out to make (most importantly) solid heavy rock, while maintaining a balance of comedy - and he accomplished just that. The album also includes special guests such as Brian Johnson (AC/DC) - who provides vocals on two tracks - and producer/guitarist Rob Caggiano (Anthrax, Volbeat). See below for the track-listing, as well as upcoming tour dates!

Hammers of Misfortune will release their sixth full-length

On July 22nd, West Coast progressive heavy metallers Hammers of Misfortune will release their sixth full-length, Dead Revolution, worldwide via Metal Blade Records. Hammers of Misfortune enlisted Nick Dumitriu (Vhöl, Ritual Chamber) to produce this record, utilizing a vintage Trident board and minimizing digital processing. The result is a warm, sharp sound that harkens back to productions like John Leckie's treatment of Pink Floyd's Meddle or David Hitchcock's master work in Camel's Mirage. For a preview of Dead Revolution - and to pre-order the album in various formats! - 

please visit: metalblade.com/hammersofmisfortune, where the title track is streaming.

Recorded at Light Rail Studios in San Francisco, CA, Dead Revolution is more varied than its predecessor (2011's acclaimed 17th Street), by using different tones, and delving into heavier, darker territory. With tracks like the stupendous "The Precipice", the raging "Flying Alone", and the riff-organ fest that is "Dead Revolution", Hammers Of Misfortune have found a way to indulge their progresssive and psychedelic tendencies while remaining decidedly metal. That's not to say Dead Revolution is without its slow-burners: "Here Comes the Sky" pivots off a Pink Floyd axis (think "A Pillow in the Wind") - with its soft strums, careful vocal interplay, and delicate percussion - before jettisoning into traditional heavy metal motifs. "Of course, every song stands out to me," says principal songwriter and guitarist John Cobbett. "I've no idea how listeners will react to them. 'The Velvet Inquisition' is probably one of the most ambitious compositions we've ever recorded. I was trying some different writing methods and the results are...interesting. 'Days of '49' is an attempt to repurpose an old traditional folk song, which is new for us."


See below for the official track-listing, and stay tuned for more news coming soon!


Dead Revolution track-listing

1. The Velvet Inquisition
2. Dead Revolution
3. Sea of Heroes
4. The Precipice (Waiting for the Crash...)
5. Here Comes the Sky
6. Flying Alone
7. Days of '49


Hammers of Misfortune line-up:

John Cobbett - guitar
Will Carroll - drums, percussion
Sigrid Sheie - organ, piano
Leila Abdul-Rauf - guitar, vocals
Joe Hutton - vocals
Paul Walker - bass

Steel Panther today released “Live From Lexxi’s Mom’s Garage”

AVAILABLE NOW - STEEL PANTHER RELEASES FIRST FILM AND ACOUSTIC ALBUM WITH “LIVE FROM LEXXI’S MOM’S GARAGE”

DVD, XXXCLUSIVE MERCHANDISE BUNDLES, AND LATEST TOUR DATES NOW AVAILABLE AT STEELPANTHERROCKS.COM

Trailer and exclusive clips from “Live From Lexxi’s Mom’s Garage” can be found HERE:

(West Hollywood, CA) – The internationally renowned glam rock band Steel Panther today released “Live From Lexxi’s Mom’s Garage,” the band’s first full length film featuring a live ten 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. Along with the DVD, Steel Panther fans or “fanthers,” can purchase t-shirts and other merchandise HERE. 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).

“Live From Lexxi’s Mom Garage is one of the best movies to ever be released in history. I know that for a fact, because Lexxi’s mom told me!” said Michael Starr. “If you like rocking out with half-naked chicks, partying all night, and killer music, then you will love this,” he added.

“Live From Lexxi’s Mom’s Garage” was taped in Los Angeles last October in front of a live audience of scantily clad woman (and one old creepy fat guy who somehow got a ticket) inside the uncharacteristically large and professionally lit garage of Ms. Foxx (Bobbie Brown), who coincidentally also happens to be the mother of Lexxi Foxx. The musical portions of the film feature the band performing acoustic versions of their most popular songs such as “Party Like Tomorrow is the End of the World” and “Community Property” as well as one new song titled, “That’s When You Came In.” Several female violin players who are “very easy on the eyes,” says Stix, are featured and play through the various hits with the band.

Between songs, the film follows the mischievousness of Steel Panther as they figure out who they can and cannot sleep with.

Steel Panther recently wrapped their ‘Well Hungover” North American headlining tour and last week announced a new UK arena tour. The UK run will fire up in Wacken, Germany at Wacken Open Air on 8/6, crisscross Europe and end at The Birmingham Barclay Card Arena on 10/19.

A full tour schedule can be found at the bottom of this release.

To find tickets to upcoming shows, please visit http://steelpantherrocks.com/tour/


ABOUT THE BAND:

Hailing from Los Angeles, the epicenter for rock n’ roll in all its debauchery and glamour, Steel Panther has 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 You Tube 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 to rave reviews 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. 

Below their latest music video for “Pussywhipped” 

Of All You Can Eat, Rolling Stone avowed, “There’s a reason Steel Panther have transcended their origins as a cover band playing the Sunset Strip”, while Metal Sucks declared, “Steel Panther’s concept is genius…their songwriting is…preposterously snappy – and relatable.” Click HERE to check out the music video for “The Burden of Being Wonderful.”
