Steel Panther reveal Lexxi’s Mom's Garage inspiration

Michael Starr and Lexxi Foxx say they chose to base Steel Panther’s first full-length film in Lexxi’s mom’s garage because “it’s home.”

The band released Live From Lexxi’s Mom’s Garage on February 26, a CD/DVD featuring their 10-song acoustic concert in LA in front of an audience of 100 female fans.

Foxx tells Sonic Shocks: “I like that place ‘cause it’s home. It’s all family. My mum likes when the guys come over. No disrespect to Starr’s mum, but we chose mine because she tries to keep up.”

Starr adds: “Your mum got new tits. My mum goes to the garage to get stuff fixed. Mumma Starr’s different. We all share as a family, it’s what makes us close.

“If his mum didn’t wanna be with us, we wouldn’t be with her – but she likes it. It just makes him uncomfortable because it’s his mum. The fact we put it out to the public was hard for him to accept, but he got used to it.

“It’s like when his mum did Playboy. It was hard for him, but now look at her. You look back and you’re like, ‘Wow, she looked hot back then.’”

The CD/DVD combo also includes previously unreleased acoustic track That’s When You Came In.

Steel Panther have also scheduled a UK arena tour in October.
