About Me

The Peppermint Engine make pop songs about the interesting things inside your skull. They formed July 22 and may share blood relations with the cartoon bug music group the Kung Fu Monkeys and Egghead. One can never be certain.

They are presently looking for some additional collaborators for recording. If you play interesting instruments (strings, woodwinds, brass, theremin, etc.) they would enjoy hearing from you. They enjoy you all anyway.
