SEATTLE, WA:
Gay German Heavy Metal act PINK STEEL will play two dates at
Seattle’s fourth annual SketchFest October 11 and 12, with the
express intention of making Seattle safe again for Heavy Metal.
"Seattle has forgotten how to bang its
head!" says PINK STEEL lead singer Hanson Jobb. "That is
where Pink Steel comes in."
"Yah," added guitarist Udo Von DüYü.
"We have come to turn the Emerald City pink. Prepare for the
paddle, Seattle!"
Best known in the US for show-stopping
appearances at New York City’s CBGB’s, Upright Citizen’s
Brigade Theater, and the Gay and Lesbian Music & Comedy
Festival, PINK STEEL makes its Western U.S. debut in Seattle.
The Bad Boys from Bremen will address the issues
of their dogged longevity and their curious obscurity with the
unveiling of their two-man cabaret show, Queens of The Dammed.
PINK STEEL: QUEENS OF THE DAMMED is their
hard-rocking tale of gay metal, demonic possession, and other
things that make life naughty and fun. Expect loads of
gay-positive arena-rock cabaret, crammed with PINK STEEL favorites
like "I’m Comin’ Out (All Over You)", "Frodonator",
"Sausage Party," and "We Fight For Cock!"
PINK STEEL, a.k.a. "the Pink and Black
Bareback Attack", have spent the last twenty years in
relative obscurity, spreading the gospel of Gay Heavy Metal
throughout the eastern U.S. and northern Europe. Born in Bremen,
Germany, founding (and currently only) members Hanson Jobb and Udo
Von DüYü have pledged to "conquer the world, one bath house
at a time." With seminal albums as Mouth Full of Magic,
Creaming for Vengeance and Squeal at The Devil, PINK
STEEL have duly carved their names into men’s room walls and
their niche in hard rock history.
