Imagine a rock superstar mothered by Nina Simone And Fathered by George Clinton, a musical Frankenstein love child with the left arm of Jimi Hendrix, the right arm of Bootsy Collins, and the soul of James Brown. With the vocal chords of Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin. A lanky, multi-instrumentalist who raids the wardrobe of Sly and has the cool of ten Princes. If you can fathom such a creature, I present to you Whild Peach and their brand of Slunky music.



Forming in Dallas, Texas, Whild Peach made the move to Atlanta in 1994. After their deal with Capital Records went sour, the band started over again on the show circuit hitting the biggest venues in Atlanta. After breaking down Atlantas genre partitioning walls, the band assembled a bandwagon on which the likes of Atlantas most respected artists jumped.



While the rappers tend to get all the credit, Hip-Hop music particularly the southern kind, which relies heavily on live instrumentation doesnt get made without the work of musicians like the ones that make up Whild Peach. Theyve spent the last ten years working on projects with Goodie Mob/Joi/Cool Breeze/Lil Will/ Khujo Goodie/Sleepy Brown/The Ali Movie Soundtrack/The Scooby-Doo Soundtrack and most notable among these efforts is their collaboration with Outkast. Beginning on Outkasts second album and continuing on to their newest record, Speaker Boxx/The Love Below (which includes two songs co-written by the band), Outkast and Whild Peach formed a relationship that included co-writing, lending a hand on vocals and instrumentation and eventually manifested itself as Whild Peach becoming the backup band on the groups tours.



But Whild Peach is more than just a backup band. In addition to their work on Outkasts tour dates and their hectic studio calendar, the band has started a busy touring schedule of their own playing over 100 dates in the last year at colleges, nightclubs, concert venues and festivals all over the United States. Theyve opened for Erica Badu, Goodie Mob, Ohio Players, War, Fishbone and Chingy. This soul-Rock, Slam-Down groups tight ensemble includes guitarist/vocalist David Whild, funktress/lead vocalist Peach, drummer Tuesday Henderson, bassist/vocalist Blue Gomes and guitarist Matt Hollums. Do yourself a favor, make plans to see Whild Peach.
