Black Peaches

Back in the woods promotions are proud to present the one and only Black Peaches. One of the finest live acts currently in the UK.

A midway point between the swamp and the tropics, Black Peaches' music is gloriously loose-limbed and strung-out: a psychotropic stew of country boogie, spiritual jazz and funk.

Rob Smoughton is probably best known as a long-time member of Hot Chip and Scritti Politti, while his alter-ego Grovesnor has released a number of albums to critical acclaim. Now he unveils his new band, Black Peaches.

With slide guitars, latin percussion and shimmering keyboards, the Peaches sound is a cinematic experience, the soundtrack to a bar fight at the country disco or an incantation of the black arts. At other times they swagger with the easy confidence of Little Feat, Manassas, or Dr John to create a pulsating, unwinding groove for a hot summer's day where no one is in too much of a hurry.

Aside from Rob Smoughton, Black Peaches features the talented members of Zongamin, The Severed Limb, Legends of Country and more.

The band recorded live at Tinroom studios in November 2014 and have captured the excitement of their live shows.
