PINK STĖĖL Fights Mormon Crickets with Gay Metal
Bad Boys from Bremen Combat Insect Swarms in Small Nevada Town
Tuscarora, NV: The citizens of tiny Tuscarora (population: 13) fight annual
swarms of Mormon Crickets with loud rock music--and legendary gay heavy
metal outfit PINK STĖĖL is pitching in by
donating copies of their album,
OUT AT THE DEVIL.
According to a recent article in the WALL STREET JOURNAL (Against Insect
Plague, Nevadans Wield Ultimate Weapon: Hard Rock, April 24, 2000) the
sonic frequencies of loud rock music are the only proven deterrent for this
crop-depleting, town-defacing nuisance.
As soon as PINK STĖĖL read about The
Tuscarorans predicament, the New-York-based, Bremen, Germany-bred band
sprang into action. They immediately sent 14 copies of
OUT AT THE DEVIL to Tuscarora--one for each member of the town, and one
to Mix 96.7, their local rock music station, located in nearby Elko, NV.
Special abilities turn the tide of battle
PINK STĖĖL insist that their unique brand of
rock can combat the crickets as none other can.
Our songs, especially Converter, can change gender preferences at thirty
meters. Explained band leader Udo Von DuYu. We hope to turn the crickets
gay and reduce their breeding numbers for next year.
The PINK STĖĖL sound will prevent them
from even touching the crops. Have you heard Hanson (Jobb, lead vocals)s
high notes? I swear we once got an email from the next town over claiming we
hurt someones dog.
Meet The Pink and Black Bareback Attack
PINK STĖĖL is Singer Hanson Jobb, guitarist
Udo Von DuYu, bassist Klaus Schave and drummer Helmut Bang, creating
crossover comedy-rock cabaret that co-mingles gay culture and heavy metal
bluster with punch-line songwriting. Each performance gives every audience
front row seats to a stadium-style rock show unlike any other.
According to Instinct Magazine, the band has "...made gay heavy metal
history." HX Magazine raves, "Their hysterical and catchy songs meld Ozzy
Ozbourne with Oscar Wilde." In addition to conquering the New York City club
scene, the Bad Boys from Bremen have blown away music festivals such as CMJ,
Homocorps and Oktoberfist, comedy festivals including the Chicago and
Seattle Sketchfests, and have appeared on the WGN-TV Morning News.

"Oh, yes."
--BLENDER Magazine
PINK STËËL IN 30 SECONDS:
PINK STEEL make heavy metal gay, and gay heavy metal funny as hell--blurring the lines between music, comedy, Motley Crüe and Mary Poppins to create a fabulous, fist-pumping arena rock concert experience that will leave you singing tunes like "We Fight For Cock" "I'm Comin' Out (All Over You)" and "Sausage Party" for days--whether you want to or not.
Their crossover comedy-rock cabaret co-mingles gay culture and heavy metal bluster with punch-line songwriting--giving every audience front row seats to a stadium-style rock show unlike any other.
"Outlandish performance and inspired bitchiness." --TIME OUT NEW YORK
" The gays from hell."
--NEXT Magazine
THE HISTORY:
Born in Bremen, Germany, Hanson Jobb and Udo Von DuYu have made good on their sacred pledge to "conquer the world, one bath house at a time." But PINK STEEL's rightful place in the great book of Gay Heavy Metal has been 20 years in the making.
"The two have made gay heavy metal history."
--INSTINCT Magazine
The flashpoint of this journey was September 1983, when founding members Udo Von DuYu (guitar, vocals) and Hanson Jobb (vocals) encountered each other in a smoky Rotterdam bathhouse/nightclub. Hanson had just finished "chatting" in the back room with several Nigerian wrestlers. A forlorn Udo was smothering his sorrows at the bar after his lover had left him for a cantaloupe with a hole cut in it. The two natives of Bremen, Germany immediately recognized each other from high school swim team. And the rest--as documented in the power ballad "Two Men Enter, One Man Loves"--is Gay Heavy Metal history.
PINK STEEL have spread the gospel of Gay Heavy Metal ever since, covering the eastern U.S., northern Europe, and parts of Estonia. With the seminal albums Mouth Full of Magic, Creaming for Vengeance, and the upcoming Out at the Devil, PINK STEEL have duly carved their names into men's room walls and into hard rock legend.

"The logical next step."

"Raucously Sexy."
