Last night I went to see Peelander-Z play at the Ottobar and, to tell the truth, I’m still not sure how to describe it. Hailing from NYC, the “Japanese Action Comic Punk” band engenders all that is crazy and wonderful about Japanese pop culture; frilly superhero/wrestler costumes, insane contests, and super catchy J-pop were all a part of the show. I had a blast, but the experience was literally indescribable.
What? Were you expecting me to describe it? Like I said, it was inde-fucking-scribable.
Alright, I’ll give a shot, just so people are not left completely in the dark. Know those crazy Japanese game shows that make their way over to the U.S. via SpikeTV or YouTube? The kind you laugh your ass off watching then say you’d never do anything that crazy or embarrassing? Going to a Peelander-Z show is like being on one of those programs and loving every goddamn second of it. I’ll just leave it at that.
