In case you've noticed a Monday night staple at the Key Club missing on the listings, they're still there, just with a new name. The crazy and bawdy Metal Skool changed their name last month to Steel Panther. In a statement, they said this was a long time coming: “Since our earliest days as Danger Kitty, we’ve had a thing for pussy… as Steel Panther, we will continue this legacy.” If you don't know what these guys are all about, check out this video (NSFW Audio!!). Moving on...
