Read More Peelander-Z Peelander-Z just announced their full nationwide tour for Metalander-Z. We previously saw them tour last year, and I noted that they didn't play that many songs from the album. I guess that was just the preview…

TUESDAY, APRIL 29: 7TH STREET ENTRY
Peelander-Z w/ Downtown Brown and Koo Koo Kanga Roo

Way too many shows on this date. I would love to see Lisa Marie Presley at the Dakota (she's doing a residency, but I can't afford to see her) (UPDATE 4/29/14: Lisa Marie Presley canceled her entire tour due to health reasons.) or the Pains of Being Pure at Heart at the Triple Rock Social Club or Bombay Bicycle Club at the Varsity .... but the show I've already been assigned to is Peelander-Z at the 7th Street Entry. I've seen the band many, many, many times, but they are always fun and it never gets old.
