Disclaimer: I appolgize in advance for the length of this post, it's infact gonna be probably the last one I post for a show for a very long while because I'm gonna be really busy over the next, lets just say 2/3 years. I hope you guys enjoy this post though
10/20/07 Sams Burger Joint , San Antonio, Texas. I attended the greatest show of my life. The band .. PEELANDER-Z. For those who know them major props, for those who don't well its tough to describe, lets just say they are "japanese action punk rock" and put on the greatest rock show with crowd interaction and overall fun that I've ever experinced or even heard of. This was my second time seeing them.. so this time I came dressed up and prepared...
[spoiler]
The guitarist Peelander Yellow
On bass Peelander Red
On drums, my fave (who I came in a wrestling theme outfit because of this guy) Peelander Blue!
I got pulled up on stage several times by the lead singer, this picture I was doing the "health dance".
This band gets everyone involved. They've evolved their shows over the years where they basically play like 5 songs, strech them out and do the craziest stuff on stage. They let everyone on stage, they always use signs and when they are ready for human bowling (I wish I had gotten pics of this) they get memember from the audience to play the instruments, just making noise the whole time while they do their act in the crowd.
My fave pic, these guys are the nicest guys in the world. After the show they're tired and putting away thier own equipment and I ask Blue if I can pose with him for a picture and he agrees with out hesitation, they all even sign my little Tag Champ belt (my friend wore the other I got for him). If peelander-z ever comes to your town I urge you to check them out. Most shows are 8 bucks, and its just pure fun. If you want to check out a little bit more about them I found a video that has me in and my gf in the front row at the show, its posted on my myspace, and I have a blog that goes more in depth about them as well on my page, myspace.com/icarusashes .
This will be my last show for a while for I am starting my second job on top of my fulltime job so I definately went out with a bang. But next time Peelander comes to town I will be there, in full wrestling atire this time
