Peelander-Z Kick Your Ass and We All Laugh About It

One does not need to look at them to witness the depth of their ass-kicking, but it helps.

I saw them last night at Beerland headlining for The Apeshits and The Svengalis (I didn't get there in time to see the openers: Animals of the Bible). They're in the middle of their Let's Bowl 2005 tour and Peelander-Z was easily the greatest hardcore rock show I've seen in years.

Lesse, the Japanese Action Comic Punk Band had:

  1. Peelander Yellow, lead singer and guitarist, dressed in a banana suit!
  2. Peelander Blue, drummer, in a ton of blue feather boas and a wrestling champion belt!
  3. Peelander Red, bassist, with his mighty dredlocks and an indian headdress!
  4. human bowling!
  5. strangers playing their instruments!
  6. placards with funny sayings on them!
  7. signs explaining important Japananese words ("yes" in Japanese is "hi" and "comics" in Japanese is "manga"!)
  8. funny dances in the name of, among other things, medium rare steak!
  9. and almost incomprehensible punk rock

Just as I was getting bored with the first two bands, Peelander-Z came in and saved the day with something new and energetic. Kudos, my cracked musical guests. You convinced my friends to buy all of your available albums at the show on the spot. And I have another sticker for my CD cabinet.

DRA-GON!

Reminds me of Manplanet (Who I had the joy of sharing the stage with on several occasions). Of course now Manplanet is defunct.

Weird thing is is that Manplanet played on the Let's Bowl tour as well. I wonder if any of those guys are involved in Peelander?

Tim, as soon as I saw the schedule, I thought "DAMN, Tim would have loved these guys!"

Cameron and I send our deepest condolences.
