Last summer, the hottest variety show was "Summer of the Band" .
A band named " New Pants " finally broke out of the siege, ascended to the throne, and opened a "national trend" that belongs exclusively to the field of music.
In the final phase of the competition, the famous CCTV host Bai Yansong, who wrote music reviews at the age of 18 or 9, commented on the new pants: "I think they are particularly worthy of being on my CD rack, from their first one. All albums from the album to the present."
and then the lead singer of the band Peng Lei responded like this: is like the leader affirming our work.
, a man who is known for his "venomous tongue" in the rock industry, is upright and true, but he has a stubborn stubbornness to rock in his bones.

In 1992, Peng Lei did not go to high school, but chose the Beijing Arts and Crafts School, which is a factory school for package distribution.
This school is amazing. It is obviously a technical school but always produces rock masters. For example: Ding Wu of the Tang Dynasty, Yao Lan of the second-hand rose, Umbrella of the supermarket, Tian of the Long Kuan 9-dan Peng , all graduated from this school.
In that year, Peng Lei, who had just entered school, sang a "Earth" of beyond at the entrance ceremony. A few months later, a senior released his first band album "Tang Dynasty" .
In his eyes, making music is a very cool thing, especially making "heavy metal" music. It was not until one day that Peng Lei found a record of Ramones on the stall, and he completely recognized it. Okay rock: this is the music I want to make.
In 1995, Peng Lei and one of his classmates began to play a band, named "the shape master of the metal workshop" .
in Beijing at that time was popular with heavy metal rock. Obviously Peng Lei's punk style similar to the 1970s looked different, but because their style is simple and direct, it is a bit different from the trend, and at the same time it is different from underground babies, Huaer band and others are called "Beijing New Sound".
Soon after, Peng Lei met Shen Lihui, who came to Peng Lei to record the song.
One year later, an album called "Modern Sky 1" was born. Not only that, Peng Lei's band also signed with Shen Lihui to Modern Sky, renamed "New Pants Band" , which is said to be inspired by A British band from the 1980s, New Order (New Order). With the signing of
, the new pants band entered the music scene.
In 1998, the album of the same name "New Pants" was released. The typical punk style made many people know about this young band.
Since then, Peng Lei and even his band have been labeled with a "label": dare to play!
In 2006, the band's album "Dragon Tiger Man Dan" was released, which attracted a huge "controversy". Many fans bluntly said: you are not in the rock circle. The
synthesizer music is indeed not mainstream, and it does not match the trend, but it has become a kind of "frontier fashion."
Soon, this album won the "Best Rock Band" and "Best Rock Album" two rock awards at the 2007 Music Billboard Awards.
dare to try, there is the possibility of success!
In order to pay tribute to Disco, the new pants band even pulled on the disco goddess Zhang Qiang, with a "Don't Ask Me What Disco" , which instantly turned the audience "hi".
In this way, Peng Lei and Zhang Qiang can almost always be seen at the Strawberry Music Festival in recent years.

Actually, Peng Lei is a very interesting person.
but still can't stop him, countless fans say he is "straight."
In "Summer of the Band", after the new pants band completed the "Flower Fire" performance that burned the audience, everyone thought that he would be a "sensational" wave, but
could not think of his first sentence: "Many of the professional music critics sitting on it are my past enemies, and they hate me very much."
And they "hate" Peng Lei because of his magical social interaction: WeChat only keeps 100 people, if the number exceeds the number, they will be deleted immediately! The following are his "social standards":
For many people, "socializing" is everyday, but for Peng Lei, it is a challenge, because facing an unfamiliar person often makes the conversation awkward.
Once, Peng Lei went to be the host of a talk show and the subject of the interview was Michelle Yeoh.
Peng Lei was so nervous that he couldn't speak because of the face of a goddess-level star. In order to alleviate the embarrassment, he even danced in front of others and rolled on the floor. The picture of
looks a bit "Secondary", but this is Peng Lei, who does not pretend to be true, and is trying to be himself. Although
is very "straight", but most of the time, he is a "witty" horse.
For example: is buying a house.
Peng Lei once said in the program, "I once really applied for a job at Lianjia wearing this suit. Because there is a very expensive intermediary fee, so I want to save that money and want to go to Lianjia to work in person." .
actually has this kind of operation!
and when asked by reporters "why do you want to play a team?", Peng Lei's answer is: in order to attract the attention of girls.
But in fact, after Peng Lei was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, playing music did not attract the girl's attention.
Once, after he was interviewed by a female reporter, the female reporter went back and wrote a report. In the report, Peng Lei was surrounded by a group of people with sleeves holding large tea pots.
For a time, Peng Lei became a target of public criticism.
But Peng Lei is "witty". He found this female reporter to "complain": you have to be responsible to me.
Later, the female reporter later became his wife.

Peng Lei, who is 44 years old this year, still likes to wear white Converse and shouts on the stage with emotion.
However, after the stage, his lyrics are all mundane, such as "People without ideals are not sad", "Life is hot because of you" and so on.
, especially after being a husband and a father, he gradually began to have choices. In this era, there are too many ideals and persistence, but Peng Lei has gradually walked out of his own way in clanging.
On March 23, 2019, the new pants band entered the Gongti. For a band, being able to hold a concert in Beijing Gongti is a supreme honor.
In the past, perhaps, we all need to run around to meet each other, but this time is different.
