盘尼西林乐队 / Penicillin

Overview

盘尼西林 is the rock band in which spine surgeon 马浩宁 is presented as a keyboard and accordion player.

Current Profile

The source says the band already existed around 2012–2013 and that Ma joined near the end of 2015 after meeting members through Beijing’s live-music network. He later participated in The Big Band, a tour, and selected larger performances, while remaining unable to take on the band’s full-time schedule.

The name predates Ma’s involvement. According to his account, band member 小乐 chose “盘尼西林” because the four Chinese characters sounded striking; the later presence of a doctor in a band named after penicillin is presented as coincidence rather than founding logic.

Key Characteristics

• Chinese rock band reported to have existed before Ma Haoning joined.
• Uses the Chinese name for penicillin as its band name without a medical founding story in this source.
