How do you like your steak?
I went to a concert tonight. The main attraction was a Japanese punk bank called Peelander-Z.
It may have been the most fun I've had at a concert since.... 2 Skinny Js back in Columbia my freshman year in college.
Doors opened at 8. I was there around 8:30. It was sadly empty. Maybe 5 people other than the band or Modified Arts staff. There were discussions about changing the take the band got of the door due to the low turnout. This had the stink of failure all over it. Some arrangement was made that the band would play two shows, one at Modified and then another at the Trunk Space? at midnight.
Anywho...
Bored bored bored waiting to hear the band. Then finally... things start happening.
The band members wear these insane outfits that are essentially like something out of the Power Rangers but no helmets.
It's clearly punk music cause they barely know how to play their guitars. But what they lack in musical talent they more than make up for with raw enthusiasm.
Audience participation is necessary. At some point everyone in the crowd of like 25 people were pounding on pots and pans that were passed out by the band. During the bowling song/event, the band gave their instruments to audience members who fumbled around playing while the band members set up bowling pins and then had one band member use the other as a bowling ball.
It was a ton of fun even though the crowd was so small. The band was really cool and totally sold this ridiculous concept. For $6, I had more than my money's worth.
So to the ...4? people who read this blog... if you find out that Peelander-Z is playing in your area, go. Bring tons of friends. Cause it may be the most ridiculous/insane/childish/giggle-worthy concert you've ever attended.
The correct answer to the post title is Medium Rare apparently. We had to shout this numerous times during the Steak song. Yes... the steak song.
