Peelander-Z invades KJHK for rare acoustic in-studio set
Japanese garage rock band Peelander-Z stopped by the KJHK shack last Friday afternoon over spring break to perform a rare acoustic set. Based out of New York City, the self-proclaimed "Japanese Action Comic Punk" band came by for their third appearance at KJHK. The group is well lknown in hte underground music scene for their animated on-stage demeanor, their colorful DIY power ranger meets pro wrestling costumes, and their ability to connect with their audiences, demanding nothing less than full interaction with the crowds at each show. Below is a snippet from their live set inside the KJHK shack. Peelander Yellow is on acoustic guitar (courtesy of Program Director Zach White) with P-Red, Blue and Green backing up on clanging pots.
(From left: Peelander Blue, Peelander Green, Peelander Yellow and Peelander Red)
Later on that night, Peelander-Z performed at the Jackpot in front of an energetic crowd that took to their antics like airplane glue to a third-grader.

CMJ 2007

in short, spastic yelps and accented cries........)
Actually what would really help illustrate just what the hell I'm trying to explain about a Ruins show can easily be seen in a short live clip. Enjoy. (P.S. hope you can already guess the sound quality will not be up to Hi-Def standards...and.......how should i put this...tilt your head to the left might help as I haven't installed my movie editor just yet, thanks.)
Okay so by this point you are noticing that Ruins consists of only one guy on drums. Well, the truth is that the Ruins used to be a bassist and a drummer but since the two some how ended up on bad terms, they don't tour together so Yoshida (the drummer and creator of the band) tours with a sampler that has all the bass lines from the songs and drums over them to recreate their songs live. Still, this performance was sick and truly ridiculous in trying to watch Yoshida's arms go all over the place. Definitely check this band out if you have not yet heard them.
What did end up saving the CMJ Music Marathon this year was the non-associated Japan Girl Nite show that followed the night after everything was coming to end. This show I'll cover in a separate post with plenty of pics and live clips....Go Japanese girl punk bands, Go...
