Melbourne, Australia (2003 – present)
It began circa 2003 as school friends Angus Maiden and Michael Cooney’s concept of a band; a band that would break genre barriers and reach across the music spectrum to touch a whole host of different individuals. From ‘03 to ‘06 the two jammed sporadically and officialy recruited new members (Members of the “band” at one point reached 5 members: Cooney and Gus on guitar and vocals, Erin on bass, Sarah on piano/synth and Bourkey on drums) but never got around to recording anything, and the band never really coalesced as a cohesive entity.
Thus as the members dispersed, The Peach Tree slowly morphed into Angus’s solo project, whilst keeping the mentality that started the band: originality and diversity. He has released nine albums and three EPs under the name. His sound derives from the massive range of influences he is exposed to, and includes everything from pop melodies to dance tracks, death metal epics, and rockin’ blues tracks.
The latest album, released in may 2009, is the ambitious “Lift The Black Veil”, a concept album about vampires.
The first album by The Peach Tree, released in 2005, was titled “The Gus Sessions” because it was the first album to be written, recorded and played by Gus entirely at his home studio, while there was still some semblance of a “band”.
