About Peelander-Z

Peelander-Z, the Japanese Action Comic Punk Band based in New York City, has signed with Austin-based Chicken Ranch Records for the release of its new album P-TV-Z, a record the band calls the “ultimate happy fun kid friendly punk rock record.” 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 the end of November. See some example live footage courtesy of Brooklyn Vegan, including such gems as band member Peelander-Red performing while suspended upside-down from a club’s ceiling. Don’t try this at home – these are professionals!

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.
