NEPCALI
is a project based in Long Beach, California, blending Hard Rock and Metal with the Himalayan flair of Nepalese culture, seasoned with a touch of influences that span a wide range of music from the past, and present. Nepal immigrants, vocalist Arpan “AP” Karki, and guitarist Sunny Shrestha, are joined by Southern Californian natives, drummer Seth Hernandez, to bring the titanic peaks to the golden state seas. Heavy and cathartic, to touchingly honest, emotional, and at points, spiritual, this melting pot of misfits bring the power to studio, and stage, for the love of music, brotherhood, healing, and representation.
Be with us, as we create an unforgettable moment together.
