About The Peach Tree
The Peach Tree is the unsigned, independent artistry of musician/writer/producer Angus Maiden, from Melbourne, Australia. All his work is free.
The project began 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. The duo began writing songs together after they finished school and practised sporadically, but the dream of being up there on stage delivering their message always seemed faraway. Although both Cooney and Gus had their own songs that they brought to the table and also had songs that they wrote together, they never got around to recording anything together. Meanwhile a fire burned in Gus for their music to be heard, and in the next few years he actively recorded new material that he had written solo, and began to put it up on the net. But Cooney was skeptical of putting stuff out there that was frankly unrefined and amateurish. Gus, not wanting to filter what he felt was good, raw, plaintive material, put up the music he had written and recorded across a range of sites including Last.fm, almost as soon as they occured.
From 2003 to 2006 the two kept their dream that they would form a "proper" band and start delivering their songs to local audiences. They continued to jam and officialy recruited new members, but never fully coalesced into a cohesive entity. Members of the "band" at one point reached 5 members: Cooney (guitar, vocals), Gus (guitar, vocals), Erin (bass), Sarah (synth, piano) and Bourkey (drums), but as people do, they all led busy lives and slowly, they dispersed. Angus kept at it, though, as his dream of forming a band morphed into the pure pleasure of writing and recording music, and releasing it for free on the net.
The Peach Tree today can only truly be defined as Angus Maiden's solo project. He has released six albums and two 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.
His music can be found all over the net for free streaming and download, here are a few of those places:
