Voodoo Experience 2011 saw genres of all kinds and bands from far and wide join the ritual in the House of Blues and City Park.

Voodoo Experience 2011 saw genres of all kinds and bands from far and wide join the ritual in the House of Blues and City Park.

On a gusty, overcast Day One, Soundgarden far exceeded expectations after an initial washy sound marred the first few minutes of their set, delivering 2 straight hours of heavy, psych-infused hits from deep in the legendary Seattle grunge band's catalogue, including a few tracks from Louder Than Love and Badmoterfinger. Cornell chatted up the audience [...]

This one was every bit as zany as expected multiplied by 10. Human bowling, a crowd walking bass player, spandex and fish netting, baseball and some aggressive action comedy punk all transpired on Friday afternoon when the Bingo! Parlour Stage was transformed into a scene from the distant planet of Peelander-Z. This one gets its [...]

One of the most exciting shows you can go to is a Peelander-Z show. They have outrageous clothes, monsters, hot schoolgirls, and are likely to climb all over the place. On Saturday, they played the Bowery Poetry Club as part of this year's CMJ Festival. Our photographer Tommy Ottley was there to get some great shots of the band. Check them out inside.

At long last, Voodoo week is here and although my costume status is still TBD, I've navigated through the festival schedule to pick out a few shows that I wouldn't recommend missing out on if you're gonna be in City Park this weekend. The closer this thing gets, the more intrigued I am by this [...]

Peelander-Z @ the Warped tour ( more by Andrew St. Clair ) As you know, Peelander-Z are on the lineup of the free BrooklynVegan day party at Public Assembly on Saturday along with Idle Warship, Vockah Redu, Friends, Memoryhouse, The Stepkids and many more. They also play an official CMJ showcase that night at Bowery Poetry Club with Moonlight Towers from Austin at 11PM and The Clutters from Nashville at 1145PM. You can see [...]

Voodoo announced their set times this weekend on Facebook and Twitter pages in real-time, billing the weekend experiment as Virtual Voodoo . If the band was playing at 2:00 pm on Friday, the announcement of the band's time/stage information was made at exactly 2:00 pm on Friday with an accompanying YouTube clip of the band. Definitely a novel way to put out the set times that is very much in keeping with the initial one-artist/one-day-at-a-time lineup announcement.

The question with Peelander-Z is not if they will ever stop touring, but why would anyone ever want them to? The Japanese punk rockers put on one of the wildest shows ever. You can expect audience participation and a lot of fun, so be sure to not miss them when they swing around your neck of the woods. To be sure you don't, we've posted the band's full schedule after the jump. Peelander-Z tour dates: Dates marked * w/ The Aggrolites Dates marked + w/ Those Darlins [...]

A hits collection and karaoke DVD from an absurd, alien punk band, known for its outlandish live show A CD can never adequately represent Peelander Z. Like Gwar, the Monotonix and professional wrestling, seeing it live is the only way to go. The band's recorded material can never live up. That's not a shortcoming, just an inherent flaw for bands whose sensory experience goes so far beyond what you hear. To understand Peelander Z, there are a few things of which you must be aware: first, band members dress vaguely like Power Rangers;...

Recommended Show: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 2011 PEELANDER-Z @ DEATH BY AUDIO 49 S 2nd St Brooklyn, NY 11211 $7, 8PM Seeing a Peelander-Z show is like seeing a comic book come alive before your eyes. The band's punk music is a strange compliment to the colorful live show, but it works in this weird sort of surreal way. Tonight they perform at Death by Audio in Brooklyn. Bebel Gilberto @ City Winery James Chance @ Manhattan Inn Lindbergh Palace @ [...]

photos by Andrew St. Clair Japanese action comic punks Peelander-Z recently played Warped Tour . The tour included stops at NY's Nassau Coliseum and NJ's Monmouth Park. Pictures from both shows are in this post. Peelander-Z will return to the Brooklyn stage later this month when they present P-Pop-Party #2 at Death By Audio on August 24 with "Japanese Gypsy Cabaret" group [...]

When the members of Peelander-Z came to Earth from planet Peelander, they didn't plan to make such an impact on its citizens, but it's happening and it's good! In fact, it's not just good, it's great. So great, that Peelander-Z has released a two disc greatest hits set (one of songs, one of karaoke sing-along [...]

Visit from planet Peelander continues as tour dates with The Aggrolites, Those Darlins are announced. +++ Peelander-Z (L-R): Peelander-Pink, Peelander-Red, Peelander-Yellow, [...]

• Z - S.T.E.A.K DX

There are definitely a number of records to pique one's interest this week. Indie music fans should be sure to check out Pepper Rabbit 's Red Velvet Snow Ball (pictured). This band has been building up their buzz for quite some time (and are currently touring with Braids ), so this one is sure to get the bloggers of the world excited. A personal fave of this site, Peelander-Z , return with another new album this week entitled Super DX Hits . Major labels are well represented with records from [...]

There are a lot of CRAZY bands out there, those collectives who defy expectations on a nightly basis. The Black Lips (spitting on the crowd, making out with each other), Dillinger Escape Plan (knee first jumps into the crowd) and Gogol Bordello (just plain wild) immediately come to mind on the list of exceptionally wild and borderline dangerous performers (NOTE: all acts in parentheses I have personally witnessed). But New York-based Japanese Action Punk band Peelander-Z might just be the craziest of the crazy. EXCELLENT choice by the [...]
