The show has solid post-modern and self-reflexive tendencies. It’s touched by the spirit of Spinal Tap, and LA’s own parody metal cover bands - Steel Panther, and Chelsea Girls - making it irrepressibly funny. The songs and action in the musical run like a string of music videos or one of those ridiculously cheesy fun 1980s rock films like the Ramones' Rock ‘n’ Roll High School.
