Peach Pit

Frontier Touring are excited to announce winsome Canadian indie outfit Peach Pit will make their debut trip to New Zealand in October 2023.

If friendship had a sound, it would be Peach Pit. The Vancouver-based band – Neil Smith (vocals, guitar), Chris Vanderkooy (guitar), Peter Wilton (bass), and Mikey Pascuzzi (drums) – trace their union back to high school. Currently in the midst of a North American tour run, which included a slot at Tennessee’s Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival last month, the Vancouver four-piece have a jam-packed year of recording and touring in 2023, including a set at Chicago’s Lollapalooza in August. Having recently sold-out their biggest ever headline show at London’s Troxy, Peach Pit are quickly gaining notoriety for their affable sound and charming songwriting, cementing themselves as a must-see live band.

The band debuted back in 2016 via their self-titled single ‘Peach Pit’ which quickly catapulted them to notoriety, the track gaining over 100 million streams. Fans quickly fell in love with the band member’s strong connection with one another, a trait which shone through clearly in their music. With relatable lyrics and sounds that emulate a warm hug, Peach Pit continued to gain traction. 2017 full-length debut Being So Normal saw lead singles ‘Tommy’s Party’ and ‘Alrighty Aphrodite’ surpass 50 million Spotify streams each, Peach Pit gracing bills of festivals such as Shaky Knees Festival, Bonnaroo, Firefly Festival and more.

In 2020, Peach Pit released You and Your Friends, a project which DIY Mag hailed as “12 tracks of infectious indie-pop gems”, while Atwood Magazine described the band as being “at the cutting edge of the alternative music scene.” Entering 2022 on a high they released their latest release From 2 to 3, an album depicting another chapter of the band and their friendship.
