"Thank you for big helping our red-party!!!! Ohhh YeahhhH!!!! @brooklynvegan" - Peelander-Yellow

"str8 up cried at two distinct moments at tonights @peelanderz show. they are truly incredible, and i am honored to be their friend. -luke" - Anamanaguchi

Peelander-Z wrapped up their last ever tour with Peelander-Red as a member in NYC at the BrooklynVegan-presented show at Knitting Factory Brooklyn on Friday (11/23). The tour already hit NYC back in October for a show at the Studio at Webster Hall, but returned on Friday to give their NYC fans one last chance to say goodbye to Red.

There were many people wearing red clothes and headbands in honor of Peelander Red, and the whole band were actually dressed in red for that show. On stage, Peelander Yellow said, "Tonight, we are Peelander Red Z!" At the end of the set, members of Anamanaguchi and Peelander's tourmates Electric Eel Shock came on stage with them to help celebrate one last show with Red. In turn, Red also joined openers Infinity Shred during their set.

BrooklynVegan is presenting tonight's Peelander-Z show at Knitting Factory in Brooklyn which will, sadly, be the band's last with departing bassist Peelander Red. Tickets are still available, so you should come out help him go out with a bang. It should be a fun show all around with openers Electric Eel Shock, and Infinity Shred (with whom Red will also be shredding), plus a DJ set from Anamanaguchi.

Also, dancing is a great way to burn off all mashed potatoes and stuffing you stuffed in your maw on Thanksgiving. So come out, have fun and say goodbye to Red!

It's been quite some time since our last post. Hope you all are doing well. There's some good news and bad news today. We're kicking off another tour with Electric Eel Shock on October 12th in NYC. Also, our new split 7" w/ them will be released in October! However, we have a sad news to announce. We're sorry to have to tell you that Peelander-Red has decided to leave the band after the tour. This is sad, but we all wish Red the best of luck, and thank him for his hard work and all the unforgettable memories.

We're looking forward to seeing you all out there! Thank you so much for supporting us! We love you all!!

But don't mourn his departure just yet! As the band mentioned, Red will be saying goodbye on the road, including at The Studio at Webster Hall on 10/12 (tickets)

A list of all Peelander-Z tour dates and a video discussing Red's departure are below.

Peelander-Z at GoogaMooga (more by Ryan Barkan)

Peelander-Z will host "P-Party #4" at Death by Audio tonight (8/7) featuring The Netherlands (billed as "A KIND OF FUTURISTIC BIKER ROCK"), Drums & Red & Tuba ("Electronic Tuba Rock" featuring Peelander Red), Japan's Ryo Inoue and PeeWonder-Z ("Sister of Peelander-Z"). Though Peelander-Z wont actually be performing, I wouldn't be surprised see each of them jump on stage during the show, much like they did with Anamanaguchi recently.

Speaking of the mighty Peelander-Z, the band will hit the road with Japan's Electric Eel Shock for some US shows. So far the dates include only an LA and an NYC show, The Studio at Webster Hall on October 12th. Tickets go on sale on August 17th at 10PM.

All tour dates and video from the 3rd P-Party show are below.
