I got to a lot of shows (like a lot a lot) and I can say, without hesitation, Peelander-Z is one of the most entertaining bands I have ever seen. Now’s your chance to join in on the fun. They will be performing at The Uptown VFW on Monday, May 6th.

Peelander-Z, the Japanese Action Comic Punk Band based in NYC and Austin, was originally formed in 1998 by Peelander-Yellow, Peelander-Red, and Peelander-Blue, after meeting in New York City (although they’ll tell you they’re all from the Z area on the planet Peelander). Peelander-Green was welcomed in July 2008 after Blue left the band.

Peelander–Z has appeared at major music festivals including Bonnaroo and the Vans Warped Tour and has also been featured on TV programs such as VH1’s Best Week Ever and Comedy Central’s Upright Citizens Brigade among others. The band has also been covered by SPIN, Rolling Stone, Village Voice, NPR and The Onion among many others.

At its live shows, Peelander–Z guarantees intense audience participation and a chance to exercise. You’ll see the band in colorful costumes reminiscent of Japanese anime, though they describe their outfits as their skin. You’ll also see The Red Squid, human bowling and all around insanity. A Peelander–Z performance is a rare occasion for the entire family to rock out and have a great time.

Me Like Bees will be joining Peelander-Z. Me Like Bees is an American Indie Rock band hailing from the heart of Joplin, Missouri. Formed in 2009 the band has traveled thousands of miles and played hundreds of shows across the nation. By 2013, they released their first full length record The Ides(LoveWay Records) produced by Jeff Smith (Never Shout Never, Trust Company, Carter Hulsey). The Album received rave reviews by many internet media outlets.

Also performing will be a local favorite of mine- The Birthday Suits. Since their debut in 2005, the Minneapolis-based duo of Matthew Kazama and Hideo Takahashi has excelled at tossing elements of late-’90s mathcore and classic Reagan-era punk against the wall with disarming power and impressively fresh results
