About Us:

After being behind the drums for 14
years, a point came where John
Tokarczyk decided to explore his own
musical ideas. So in the fall of 2005
after playing with several bands and
musicians, he decided to take destiny
into his own hands and started to
build the foundation that would lead
to the birth of PepperDome. With a
vast interest in many musical styles,
it was quickly apparent that this
project would be very different than
anything else John was involved in.
Although most would categorize the
music as rock, there are so many
influences taken from around the world
it is near impossible to categorize
the sound created. After several
years of creation, hard work, and
lineup changes, Eric Bunton is the
guitarist and Vattel Cherry is the
bassist for PepperDome.
“Chaos Point”, the third installment
in PepperDome’s journey, marks a
stronger, more passionate, and an
unmatched intensity than any of it’s
predecessors. A chaos point can be
seen as a point in one’s life to
ponder, decide, and move forward in a
new and different direction. This
album has done just that. Be assured,
the solid song writing, in your face
lyrics, intensity, quirk, and power
that was PepperDome is still here.
“Chaos Point” takes that knowledge and
reincarnates it into a newer stronger
self. The song writing process is
modified. The strength to say what
needs to be said is larger. The
musical strokes are broader. The
entire presentation is brought to an
entire new level.
“This is PepperDome’s chaos point”,
John explains. “Everything we do in
life eventually hits a point where
things have to change or else there is
a potential of becoming old and stale.
All change creates new
opportunities.” This music is the
product of that opportunity. The
music is lethal. It’s passion catches
you right at your core and demands
attention. Still riding at a faster
tempo, the forceful dynamics are clear
and fluent. The phrasing is new and
exciting. What you hear will without
a doubt get your attention.
Powerful messages will always be a
part of every PepperDome installment.
This one is no different. Although a
short six song EP, “Chaos Point”
touches on our abuse of sexuality with
the media and our corrupt political
system. There are also messages about
taking a stand in your life, personal
expression, and how someone else
controlling your life can affect not
only you, but also the people around
you. “Chaos Point” is not for the
lighthearted shallow souls. It is for
the people that are tired of today’s
society and are ready for change. In
our current music environment
PepperDome’s “Chaos Point” pushes the
limits of what we are used to hearing.
With passion and a clear message,
“Chaos Point” will make you stop,
listen, and think.
I am proud to announce that PepperDome has been
invited to the Songwriters Composers Music
Conference (www.scmusicconference.com)!! This
conference is a wonderful opportunity to introduce
PepperDome’s music to the professional music
industry and major label representatives. The
conference is in Greensboro, NC on July 30th. I
will post more information ASAP (my head is still
spinning with excitement) !!!!
SCMC results
I had a great time at the SCMC in Greensboro. I
would like to thank Sal, Skid, T-Mah and Amir for
taking the time to meet with me and to discuss
PepperDome’s music. I got to meet some great
musicians from around the country and got some
great cd’s. This really was a great opportunity
to continue to network with both the professionals
and other artists. The performance went great and
I am proud of how everything turned out. Thanks
to everyone that helped me out and I look forward
to more opportunities like this in the future.

Yes John, thats true,
twisting happens to me
too, but then I read
this. Hope this helps to
you too in tough times -
"A son and his father
were walking in the
mountains. Suddenly, his
son falls, hurts himself
and screams:
“AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
To his surprise, hears
the voice repeating,
somewhere in the
mountain:
“AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
Curious, he yells: “Who
are you?” He receives
the answer: “Who are
you?” Angered at the
response, he screams:
“Coward!” He receives
the answer: “Coward!”
He looks to his father
and asks: “What’s
going on?” The father
smiles and says: “My
son, pay attention.”
And then he screams to
the mountain: “I admire
you!” The voice
answers: “I admire
you!” Again the man
screams: “You are a
champion!” The voice
answers: “You are a
champion!” The boy is
surprised, but does not
understand. Then the
father explains:
“People call this echo,
but really this is life.
It gives you back
everything you say or do.
Our life is simply a
reflection of our
actions." Angila
HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAVE A
FABULOUS SUCCESSFUL
YEAR!!!

TELL EVERY ONE ABOUT
IMRadio -- Got to
thinking. What if each of
us independent musicians
told our family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio.com, how
besides the main station,
it has stations for each
of the states
individually, 52
countries, and just about
every musical genre --
reaching any internet
connection around the
world. We could tell them
in person, on the
internet or at small or
large venues. Anyone we
tell would appreciate the
convenience of such good
music from independent
musicians on their
computer. It would be
such a good way to help
all of us reach even more
listeners. With IMRadio,
we aren't just waiting at
the mercy of some major
label to decide whether
or not they will let us
be heard around the
world. There are enough
of us that the outreach
could be exponential.
And, wouldn't it be a
great way to say 'thank
you' to Paddy and all of
the other fine folks who
have put IMRadio.com on
the world's musical map.
They have put in money,
time, energy and
dedication, and all they
have asked of us in
return is to upload our
music and profile. I am
sure that they have great
plans to publicize
IMRadio and bring it to
even more listeners. In
the meantime, through,
wouldn't it be great if
we could all help a
little by just taking a
little time each day to
tell family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio. It
wouldn't cost a dime,
just a little time.
Yours, in Musical
Solidarity, Paul.
