Scottsdale-based Elvis Presley tribute act Metal Elvis, who have been covering The King’s classics with a metal twist from hard to glam to thrash metal, will bring their covers to Martini Ranch Friday.
The group is comprised of lead singer “The King,” guitarist “Slush,” bassist “Stikki Lixx” and drummer “The Kattman.” In addition to being inspired by Elvis the guys cite Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Metallica, White Snake, Poison, Bon Jovi, Twisted Sister and Quiet Riot among their influences on their MySpace page.
The guys don’t have any other show dates listed on their page aside from playing the Scottsdale Ultimate New Year’s Eve Block Party on Dec. 31 in downtown Scottsdale.
