"美乃滋"其實本來是一個四人創作樂團,成立自今已經十年了.佩芳在樂團中主要擔任音樂創作和主唱;由於團員中吉他和貝斯手因為當兵中斷合作,因此至今佩芳都還在尋找合適的人選搭配.在樂團復活之前,佩芳並沒有停頓他的音樂創作和演出.他也時常和朋友jam, 激出不同的創作靈感和演奏風格.佩芳的創作靈感來自於生活,大大小小的瑣事都可以成為他音樂的一部份,他的創作音樂風格非常多元,甚至無法精確定義,因此或許用"美乃滋"風格來說明他的音樂,最適合也不過了.

Singer Pe Fung's inspiration comes from the things that happen to her in life. She can't define her style, so she uses "mayonnaise" to describe her music.

In tonight's concert, British pianist/composer Hervie Syan will present self- portraits of Twentieth Century painters.

heavyegghelldog.jpg

可以是多人大樂團編制,也可以是少數人合奏的巨蛋地獄狗,在成員往返更迭的過程中,地獄狗希望成為的,是一種富含著生命力的樂團,不間斷的進行著集體自由即興,集體自由即興所代表的,不是一種樂風,而是一種精神,是一個巨蛋地獄狗的創作理念,可以是樂手間的往來應合,也可以是彼此間的互相衝突,可以是拼貼,當然也可以是樂手本身忘我的超越,這屬於爵士嗎?屬於搖滾嗎?對地獄狗來說,這都已經不再重要了。
