Peelander-Z
at Jack Rabbits

Our favorite Japanese Peelander-Z band will be stopping by Jack Rabbits in Jacksonville, Florida, on May 23, 2025. They have a new guitarist, which we are calling Peelander-Leopard.

 

We last saw the band at least 9 times, and their last appearance at a Noodle shop in Sep 2024 and wrote, “Peelander-Z’s set time was advertised as 3pm, but the reality is that they didn’t even do soundcheck until 4pm. After testing out the mics and audio, Yellow’s running gag is “Bye, bye! Thank you for coming” and leaves, as if their whole show was only 5 minutes. We’ve seen it done before, it’s always funny. The show didn’t actually start until 4:25pm, and by this time, some fans had to leave due to other commitments. We’ve seen Peelander-Z numerous times (eight times by my count), so we know what we’re talking about when we say this is one of the best live bands.”

Rick Springfield: I Want My 80’s Tour 
with special guests John Waite, Wang Chung, & John Cafferty
at the Amp

The best of the 80’s, Rick Springfield is bringing his I Want My 80’s Tour to the Amp, in St Augustine, on May 29th, 2025.

Joining him will be John Waite, Wang Chung, and John Cafferty.

We saw Waite in June 2022 and said, “John Waite and his band (Tom Hogan- bass; Mark Ricciardi- guitar; Alan Childs- drums), arrived in town to help re-christen the decades-old Ranchmart Center in suburban Leawood, KS, a retail enclave that has recently received a complete and modernized architectural face-lift. Waite, coming up on seventy-years-young, has a brand new EP out called Anything (on his own No Brakes Records, order signed copies here) and though we unfortunately didn’t hear any of the new songs in this slightly abbreviated performance, there were plenty of familiar hits from his over four-decade career, including songs from The Babys and supergroup Bad English.”
