About The Peppercorns:

迷幻，根源，实验，后朋？这是一个很难用一种特定风格去定义的乐队。毋庸置疑的是来自六七十年代经典艺术摇滚的影响，在保有旋律性的同时进行一些新奇又古老的探索。复古的吉他段落与70年代模拟合成器之音升起又坠落。轰鸣！激荡！有些情感难以理解却又暗潮汹涌炙热强烈，如同所有叹息困惑与不眠的夜。

The Peppercorns is a band that plays heavy psychedelic rock music rooted in a classic 70's style, drawing inspiration from prog and art rock. The band is guitar heavy with experimental synth however their songs still maintain a pop sensibility. Fronted by Edog Wonderlogg II with Xian the mighty child on lead guitar, Kangaroo Zhong on rhythm guitar, Brain on drums, and Yan Von3000 on bass. Get ready for helicopters, paratroopers, and atomic lizards.

Eric Ji of The Peppercorns will be joining Loreli's Songwriters of Beijing panel discussion on March 16th at The Bookworm as part of the Literary Festival.
