I have no idea why they are doing the show. I think it started as a joke and they just went with it. Vergara knew who they were and mentioned they played her husband's birthday party so you know they are banking good cash if they are doing private hollywood bashes. They also seem to do well enough on tour so maybe they know the well will run dry soon so time to pad their index funds so they can live off the monthly when they no longer have the schtick. It will also pay for Michael's plastic surgery.
They just got a shitload of publicity for it, I think that was the point. Recent interviews with both Satchel and Star point that they’re not dropping their shtick any time soon, it’s what made ‘em famous and they know it works but more importantly, they crack themselves up doing it and enjoy what they do as a result.
They do some really great interviews where they break character and answer questions seriously, especially Star. Apparently they had a talk a few years back in regards to dropping the shtick and maybe just writing 80’s style metal but said “Nope, we’re gonna keep doing it”
I can certainly see it getting old to people who just see them on YouTube, but they’re a fucking riot live. Probably one of the last bands where you’ll see tits onstage, too. The last 3x I saw them a bunch of chicks from the audience got up and stood around with their tits out, which I haven’t seen since the 90’s. They admit they’ve got a few jokes they re-use, but you can tell how much of it’s improvised on the spot when they do shit like pick someone’s shirt or a local bar or something to make fun of. That and they still jump into the occasional cover if someone will yell it out in the audience. It’s like going to a comedy club with guitars….and tits.
