Peelander-Z - Antone's, SXSW, Austin TX - March 17, 2010


[from Japan but now in New York] purportedly the one band that gets asked back to SXSW year after year – because of their hilarious inventive crazy shows that gets even the cool guys to smile – there’s red Peelander, green Peelander and yellow Peelander all from the land of Peelander – there was also one sad little Peelander in a black suit hidden behind a speaker playing the lead guitar, I guess he didn’t fit the dress code – so they crowd surf, hold up signs with stupid lyrics, make the audience dance in a snake line with them, use band members to bowl, and generally create a legend – they made all of the Mikes in the audience get on the stage and hold a sign that said Mike above their heads for the song about how there’s too many Mikes – there were audience members on stage as often as they were down on the ground with the crowd – and beyond all that, they play well: fast punk
