To show support for Mike Weatherley MP's 'Rock The House' initiative, Steel Panther rocked up to the Houses of Parliament on Saturday 31st March before playing to a sold out Brixton Academy.
Rock The House now has David Cameron's backing and is a Parliamentary music competition founded by Mike Weatherley MP and backed by the music industry and a huge roster of music legends from Alice Cooper to the Bee Gees Robin Gibb. It sees MPs nominate musicians from their own constituency that are then judged by a panel of international music industry experts and musicians to determine the finalists who will compete in a live battle of the bands.
Winners in each artist's category will then play a live set on the Terrace of the House of Commons in the evening at the finale reception and winning loads of once in a life time prizes!
The competition is backed by Ministers, cross party MPs, industry professionals and bodies – and Rock Stars, including Alice Cooper, Deep Purple's Ian Gillan, Bee Gees Robin Gibb, Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus, Whitesnake's Bernie Marsden, Bullet For My Valentine's Matt Tuck, Anthrax's Rob Caggiano, Busted and Fightstar’s Charlie Simpson, Gallows’ Laurent Bernard, Don Broco’s Rob Damiani and Yes’ Rick Wakeman who are all official Patrons.
