MY TOP 30: Year 3 Posts of ALL-TIME!

21. Peelander-Z pop quiz
This is the third pop quiz interview from my 10 special SXSW 2011 pop quizzes.  BRAIDS took the Number 30 spot with theirs and I just posted the Jezabels’ at Number 23.

Interesting to note, this is our second entry by a Japanese band.  TsuShiMaMiRe tied for the Number 22 spot with Elephant Sky and now we have Peelander-Z, who actually opened for the El Paso show that is the focus of TsuShiMaMiRe’s 10Q featured in Number 22.

See the original Wednesday, March 16, 2011 post here — Peelander-Z pop quiz interview – SXSW Artist.  It includes their song, “Taco Taco Taco,” and a video of  music by Bulgarian vocalist, Yanka Rupkina, over scenes from Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai.
