NEXT MONTH: Peelander-Z lands at the Crofoot, 2 May

This crazy Japanese comic-book superhero act is one of the most fun shows you'll ever see. If you think you're too much of a grown-up to go, go anyway because they will make you a kid again! I've seen them several times in Detroit, and every time I leave feeling better about the world at large.
