PEELANDER-Z

Peelander-Z is a Japanese-American "Japanese Action Comic Punk" band known for their wildly energetic live shows and colorful costumes. While the members are originally from Japan, the group formed in 1998 in Buffalo, New York, and is currently based in Austin, Texas. The band claims they are not human, but rather explorers from the Z area of Planet Peelander. Their vibrant, color-coordinated outfits are described not as costumes, but as their actual "alien skin". Members adopt names based on their colors. Their music is a fast-paced blend of punk, metal, and J-pop with absurd, catchy lyrics about things like tacos and ice cream. However, they are most famous for their performance art.
