1) a hard, experimental Rock trio from Argentina
2) an Australian Emcee from Melbourne
3) an emcee based in Plymouth, UK
4) a producer from Holland*.
5) an electro-popartist from Holland
6) experimental punk band from Gainesville, Fl.
1) Pez was formed in December 1993 by Ariel Minimal on Guitar and Voice, together with the Barbieri brothers (Poli on drums and Alez on bass). The project is a hard, experimental Rock trio that started to play on the Buenos Aires circuit in 1994. In September 1995 the band changed its formation with Franco Salvador taking charge of the drums and Iris Auteri of the bass. Their sound incorporates a variety of textures and styles, including tango, bossa nova, progressive rock and psychedelia. They also approached punk rock songs in an elaborate manner with the incorporation of Fósforo on the bass.
2) From the shadows of Melbourne’s hip-hop underground steps one of the brightest local talents to emerge in years – 24-year-old emcee Perry Chapman aka Pez – with his stunning debut album A Mind Of My Own.
The 14-track rap opus, signals a bold new direction for Australian hip-hop. In Pez’s world, bland boom-bap beats give way to accomplished musicianship; lackadaisical lyrics are eschewed in favour of accomplished songwriting; and typical themes of partying and self-promotion are replaced by sincere stories of unfulfilled dreams, childhood nostalgia, political disconnection and unconditional love.
Highlights on the album are many. Radio single 'Ain't Got Time' (featuring Tzu's Count Bounce) is a musical call-to-arms underpinned by an urgent guitar riff and heartfelt admissions from Pez about the bumpy road to success. 'These Days' (complemented by the gorgeous vocals of Blue King Brown backing singer Hailey Cramer) is an offbeat acoustic gem with flawless flows from a lyrically supercharged Pez. And the epic 'Lost' narrates the tragic tale of a misguided muso over pounding piano keys and pulsating drums.
And true to his reputation as one of Australia’s favourite mixtape emcees, longtime Pez fans will lap up the hilarious hijinks of 'The Festival Song', a tribute to the summer festival season, or 'I Wanna Go', which transports listeners back to 1994 on a sea of soulful strings.
Entirely produced by multi-instrumentalist Matik except for one musical gem from newcomer Raymes, and featuring musical contributions from members of Tzu, The Cat Empire, Blue King Brown, fellow Soulmate signee 360, Seth Sentry and Tys, A Mind Of My Own is sure to cement Pez as the definitive voice of Australian hip-hop’s next generation.
3) Pez is an emcee based in Plymouth, UK and is one half of Hip-Hop group Skrimshank, alongside producer Damo. He is affiliated with Innit Records and is currently working on new solo material, aswell as collaborations with other artists on the label.
4) Pez is a producer from Holland*.
5) Pez, also known as Pim Nugteren, recently released his first track 'At the club'. The video of the track has now over a 1000 views on youtube.
Pez is currently busy promoting his single and working on new material.
6) PeZ is a band from Gainesville, Fl playing psychedelic thrash/punk. For fans of Destruction Unit and Exit Order, but thrashier.

El viaje
Pez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me abro camino en la nada o detengo mi andar
Tras un descanso decido que lo mejor es entregarme al azar
Y aunque no tenga un destino empiezo a caminar
La historia es el viaje, no hay ningún apuro por llegar
No corro una carrera, esto es más parecido a pasear
Y si de pronto una noche las luces del cielo dejan de brillar
Quedo sin norte y entonces me pongo a pensar
Que hubiera hecho mi padre si hubiera estado él en mi lugar
Ruego poder distinguir el bien del mal
La historia es el viaje, no hay ningún apuro por llegar
No corro una carrera, esto es más parecido a pasear
No hay nadie quien decida, mentira es la verdad
Como rueda la vida y esto es más parecido a pasear.
Pez's song "El viaje" speaks about a journey through life, where the singer is close to reaching the end of their path. They contemplate whether to continue walking towards nothingness or to stop their journey altogether. After taking a break, the singer decides to surrender themselves to fate and start walking again, even though they have no destination in mind.
The singer then reflects that the journey itself is the story, and there is no rush to finish it. They are not in a race, but merely strolling through life's experiences. However, there may be moments when the singer feels lost, such as when the lights in the sky dim, leaving them with no direction. In this moment, the singer wonders what their father would do if he were in their place and hopes to distinguish between good and evil.
The central message of "El viaje" is that life is a journey, not a race, and it's essential to take time to appreciate each moment. Through the singer's reflection, we see the importance of relying on our experiences and those of our loved ones to navigate life's path.
