MISC: PIECING IT TOGETHER: COCAINE BEAR If a bear hoovers up a large quantity of cocaine, does it go on a killing rampage in pursuit of more blow? Such is the plot of Elizabeth Banks’ horror-comedy Cocaine Bear, and incredibly, it’s based on a true story. (The real-life bear ingested the coke, but overdosed before he could kill anybody; authorities nicknamed him “Pablo Eskobear,” and his body was purchased by Waylon Jennings. Pablo is now on display in a Kentucky mall, because why not?) Such a uniquely American story deserves a panel discussion, and thanks to podcaster David Rosen, it’s getting one. Rosen will conduct a live recording of his Piecing It Together movie podcast immediately following a screening of Cocaine Bear at Maya Cinemas, discussing the film’s real-life and cinematic antecedents with comedian Luella Chavez, filmmaker Michael Keene and Awesome Movie Year co-host Jason Harris. The live podcast is free with the price of the movie ticket. 7 p.m., $13. Maya Cinemas, mayacinemas.com. –Geoff Carter

MUSIC: STEEL  PANTHER Are you ready to feel the steel? LA glam-rock parody act Steel Panther is on the prowl, bringing salacious metal mayhem to the House of Blues with Pennsylvania groovers Crobot and New York tribute rock band Tragedy. With hits like “Gloryhole,” “Poontang Boomerang” and “Death to All but Metal,” Steel Panther has makes each live performance a spandex-stretching spectacle, heavy with hammer-on riffs and debaucherous humor. Shredding in the tradition of icons like Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard since the early 2000s, Steel Panther pays tribute to the hair-metal zenith of the ’80s, for those ready for a ridiculous ride. 7 p.m., $25-$75, House of Blues, concerts.livenation.com. –Amber Sampson

PARTY: LEE FOSS Given the current flavor of pop and the dance music influences of the most enduring chart-toppers of today, it’s a pretty good time to be a deep-house DJ from Chicago. But Hot Creations label founder Lee Foss has been refashioning his classic house heritage with hints of R&B, disco, hip-hop and electro since he broke out more than 20 years ago, cutting his teeth with sets at Chicago’s Spybar, the Standard in LA and Fabric in London. Like frequent collaborator Jamie Jones, Foss has stayed true to his sound throughout the ebb and flow of mainstream acknowledgment. One of his latest tracks, “Free” (with A-Trak and Uncle Chucc) puts it all out there, a familiar groove that feels like it’s always been playing and you just now joined the party. Don’t also be late to this RVLTN Events party on the Strip. With Tobehonest, Isaac Civil, 10 p.m., $20-$75, Hard Rock Live, seetickets.us. –Brock Radke

MISC: AFRICAN FASHION SHOW The fashion industry owes so much to Black culture. Many of the trends we see today, and that were popularized in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, can be traced back to the Black community. In recognition of that influence, Las Vegas’ chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc. will host its fifth-annual African Fashion Show, educating attendees on the history of Black fashion and the importance of the African American image. Claytee White, director of UNLV’s Oral History Center, will guide the conversation as a guest speaker, joining designers, fashion boutique owners and market vendors in a celebration of Black heritage. Attendees should plan to arrive in their best African attire for a chance to win a Best Dressed award—and bragging rights throughout Black History Month. 1 p.m., $75-$125, Paris Las Vegas’ Champagne Ballroom, eventbrite.com. –Amber Sampson
