Bunny Fan caught in onstage shocker!
All he was expecting was an evening of head bobbing to a favorite local band, but what he ended up doing will change his life forever. Arriving at the Velvet Lounge, he said hi to Bunny who were due to closeout the evening's entertainment and got a drink from the bar. When all of sudden three crazed costume wearing people emerged from the back area of the bar. Beginning to wonder if someone hadn't slipped a mickey into his drink, our adventurer followed these strange and colorful beings upstairs. Where he was then treated to lunacy known as PEELANDER-Z!
Peelander-Z, who bill themselves as "Japanese Kung-fu Action Comic Punk", turned in an intense set with a mixture of crazed punk and performance art. Besides employing props, signs, wigs and wrestling masks, the band fully engaged the entire audience into to their set. First it was the suitcase of various percussion instruments they passed out to the audience to bang along with. But the lunacy hit full steam when during the second to last song, Yellow Peelander-Z suddenly handed his guitar to an audience member. This was followed by him holding up a sign that stated "Bassist Wanted"! With a new bass player on stage, Red Peelander-Z held up a "Drummer Wanted" sign and a new drummer was put in place.
While the band of replacements played on, Blue Peelander-Z then joined the rest of the band in a little Peelander-Z bowling in the upstairs of the Velvet Lounge. With Yellow becoming the reluctant human bowling ball. Now this is where things become a little fuzzy, as the rest of the band took their places back on stage, Yellow tapped the shoulder of our hero who was honking away gleefully on a bike horn. After a bit of a confusion on what Yellow wanted, our adventurer provided him a piggy back ride to the stage. Which was followed with him jumping on stage for a moment in the spotlight.
Needless to say our adventurer became an instant convert to the ways of Peelander-Z and will continue to the spread the word of his favorite new action heroes. More info on the "Japanese Noodle Samurai Punk Band" can be found at
www.peelander-z.com. Be fore warn that he will be spreading the word of any future area appearances by Yellow, Red and Blue!
With the hazy became to wear off, our Bunny Fan was treated to a top-notch set by the band he came to see in the first place. Always a fan of Ed Neenan sing and songwriting talents he has enjoyed being able see him supported by equally talented musicians. If this was indeed Bunny's swan song, they went out on the top of their game and will be missed.
