Peelander ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

So last night, Alex, his sister Laura, and I all go to the 30th annual Tropical Heatwave Music Festival in Ybor City and definitely the stand out group of the night was a Japanese band called Peelander-Z.

To start, each member of the band was color coded with all their instruments and gear. For example, the bassist wore tight, tight, red, leopard print pants that went along with his dyed red hair and jacket. During the first song, Peelander Red stuck his foot out into the crowd (or more at Alex to be precise) and indicated that he wanted it to be supported along with the other so he could rock out a bass solo while standing on the audience. My position was located directly beneath his groin. He then crowdsurfed back to the stage.

The rest of the show consisted bringing fans up on stage give them bowls to bang together, a crowdwide game of Limbo, and something called "People Bowling".

They sang songs about tacos, ice cream, and a very mad tiger. It was such an awesome big time show in this tiny venue and EVERYONE up in there was rocking out.

I suggest you check them out.
