The current members of Bardo Pond include Michael Gibbons on guitar, John Gibbons on guitar, Isobel Sollenberger on flute and vocals, Clint Takeda on bass guitar, Jason Kourkonis on drums and Aaron Igler on synth/electronics.

From their first line-up until 2001, the band consisted of Isobel Sollenberger, John Gibbons, Michael Gibbons, Clint Takeda and Joe Culver.

10th anniversary reissue of Peace on Venus by Bardo Pond, Philadelphia's foremost purveyors of psychedelic rock. Includes ‘Kali Yuga Blues’, a true behemoth of a song and a shining example of the band’s ecstatic intensity.

Delving deep in to their subconscious to bring it to the conscious, the band’s 2013 effort dazzles, with their gift for heavy riffs laced with soaring vocals and swathes of sound. Bardo Pond has the outward specifications of a rock band but the rivers that converge into the band's oneiric flow have their headwaters in the outlands of ecstatic jazz, free noise and the avant-garde.

The recording process of Peace On Venus used the principle of the Quintessence, which is a principle cited by the 16th Century physician Paracelsus, who noted: "Nothing of true value is located in the body of a substance, but in the virtue thereof, and this is the principle of the Quintessence, which reduces, say 20 lbs. of a given substance into a single Ounce, and that ounce far exceeds the 20 lbs. in potency. Hence the less there is of body, the more in proportion is the virtue thereof."
