Peelander-Z in the Press

“ Peelander-Z is an out of this world punk band with an unbelievably interactive show to boot.” – Seth Fraser, Beyond Race

“There is no escape from the grind like the Peelander escape from the grind.” – Will Welch, The Fader

“Peelander-Z put sanity in a headlock...” – Luke O’Neil, Alternative Press

“Standing on the sidelines is not an option when Peelander-Z hits the stage.” – Daniel Derouchie, Time Out New York

Peelander-Z, the Japanese Action Comic Punk Band based in New York City, has signed with Austin-based Chicken Ranch Records (The Clutters, We Were The States, Knife In The Water) for the release of its new album P-TV-Z, a record the band calls the “ultimate happy fun kid friendly punk rock record.” Previous records by the band have been self-released. Chicken Ranch Records honcho Mike Dickinson says, “I emailed the band about doing a kids record and they replied with a very enthusiastic yes! I played it for my young children and they flipped out. They love this band.” Notoriously known for its crazed live performances, Peelander-Z will embark on a US tour this week that will take the band around the country through November. The first single from P-TV-Z is the band’s take on the children’s standard “Old MacDonald Had A Farm”. The track, now a ska-flavored cut called “E-I-E-I-O” is trademark Peelander-Z insanity and the video is what that insanity looks like.

P-TV-Z was recorded in Austin, Texas with producer Evil Elvis and engineers Bryan Nelson and Chico Jones at Ohms Studio. Peelander-Z brought out the cream of Austin’s indie and punk crop to guest on the album. Members of The Riverboat Gamblers, The Octopus Project, Foot Patrol, Atash, and Black Joe Lewis’ Honeybears horn section all make appearances. Peelander-Pink even takes a vocal turn on French pop influenced “Dial Ring Ring Phone Pho Phone”. P-TV-Z closes with the wistful “Wasabi Man”, which is Peelander Z’s answer to Motley Crue’s “Home Sweet Home”. P-TV-Z comes packaged with a DVD featuring videos for “E-I-E-I-O”, a performance clip of “Go! Rio!”, and videos for “So Many Mike” and “Ninja High School” off of the band’s previous album P-Pop High School, plus tons of extras!

Peelander-Z has appeared at major music festivals including Bonnaroo, CMJ and SXSW, in the pages of SPIN, The Fader, Alternative Press, Time Out New York and The Boston Herald, and played with artists such as Buckethead, The Vibrators, and Guitar Wolf. The band has also been featured on TV programs like VH1’s “Best Week Ever” and Comedy Central’s “Upright Citizens Brigade” among others. At their live show, Peelander-Z guarantees intense audience participation and a chance to exercise. You’ll see the band in colorful costumes reminiscent of Japanese animation, though they describe their outfits as their skin. You’ll also see The Red Squid, human bowling and all around insanity. A rare occasion for the entire family to rock out and have a great time.
