PHOTOS: Steel Panther @ Soundwave Festival Week

02 March 2012
Showgrounds, Melbourne, Australia


Well, what can one say about Steel Panther…having seen them back in 2007 in Los Angeles and Las Vegas when they were formerly known as Metal Skool, I knew exactly what to expect when they brought it down under!  In Melbourne they played a “Sidewave” show with Alter Bridge, then there was the actual festival performance at Soundwave and I shot them at both.  As far as photographing bands go…why couldn’t every band be as fun and easy to photography as these guys?  Perfect lighting, color, an encyclopaedia full of rock moves and everything in between, if you are lucky, you will even get boobies!!  With about 10 minutes of talking in between the 2nd and 3rd song, we definitely got ample time to shoot these guys…but alas, I didn’t quite manage to capture that Michael “Starr” jump at either show, but you want Satchel guitar solos, got them covered….
