Peelander-Z is not from around here. Although the Japanese action comic punk band is based in New York City and all the members are originally from Japan, they’re actually from area Z on the planet Peelander. Or so they say.

Despite their out-of-this-world origins, the band took the time this weekend to visit Austin and Fun Fun Fun Fest. Playing the Blue Stage on Sunday afternoon, Peelander-Z put on quite the over-the-top show.

The first thing anyone notices about Peelander-Z is their costumes. Although the band will argue with anyone that they’re not costumes but merely their skin, each member of the band wears a brightly-colored outfit that matches their names: Peelander Red, Peelander Green, Peelander Yellow and Peelander Pink.

The costumes are a collage of all different kinds of clothing, including fishnets, colored leopard print leggings, studded jackets, leather jackets, crazy glasses and brightly colored wigs. While their costumes are the most noticeable aspect of the band, their performances are just as memorable.

Their FFFF show was packed with crazy antics and almost too much excitement. Toward the end of the show, the band took apart the entire drum set, unloaded it into the middle of the crowd and then started up their set again. The guitarist also had a fondness for mounting the rather tall amplifier stack and jumping off the stack in the middle of the set.

With so much energy and fun, it was almost sad to see their set come to an end.
