ticketmaster.com Metal Skool is a Los Angeles, California based glam metal parody band known
for their energetic live show, the longest running metal show on the Sunset
Strip.
The band recently moved to the Key Club on the Sunset Strip, where
their shows have been selling out regularly, and continue to play other
regular gigs in the Southern California area, including a weekly show in San
Diego, California and Cabazon, California. The band has been featured on the
cover of All Access Magazine, and won their award for "Best Tribute Band in
the Universe." The San Diego Union-Tribune has called them "the ultimate
'80s heavy metal tribute.
Onstage, the band both pays tribute to and lampoons the heyday of 80's glam
metal. All four members are skilled musicians, and perform exact and
virtuosic versions of the best-known and loved songs of the genre. They also
pepper their show with comedy, including a "hair solo" in lieu of a bass
solo "because our bassist sucks." Guitarist "Satchel" is known for his
over-the-top solo section of the show, in which he will often attempt to
play guitar and drums simultaneously. The band's between-song comedy also
includes jests at conflict between band members, and discussions of drugs,
sex, and improvised humor with the crowd. T
he band’s website
metalskool.com features mp3s as well as live performance videos.
Tony Romo has been tapped to serve as the evening’s host, after creating a You Tube sensation by
appearing on stage with the band and singing lead vocals on a rendition of Journey’s “Don’t
Stop Believing”. Tony is a huge Metal Skool fan.
