Japanese Action Comic Punk Band PEELANDER-Z has hit the road to tour all across America once again.

Playing 25 shows in March 2008, the superhuman punk rock superheroes are going all over the place and will play at this year’s SXSW (South by Southwest).

PEELANDER-Z is one of the most unique bands in the…universe. I was introduced to them in 2003 with their P-Bone Steak album. Their wacky take on punk is ridiculously hilirious.

Here’s my quick interview with Peelander-Yellow:

Shay: How did you guys meet and what made you come to NYC?
Peelander-Yellow: We are not human beings. We are Peelander and come from Z area of Peelander-Planet. We just came in NY to buy T-shirts that have a Logo “I LOVE NY” because that T-shirts is super popular on our planet.

S: Playing over 25 shows in the month of March is amazing. Where do you get your super powers from?
