Since the band took a break back in June to seek a new guitarist, Bram Stoker, Rob Haines old band have reformed so he has now sadly had to withdraw his commitment to Peachy Jane. Rob is a fantastic drummer and we enjoyed our time working with him. Steve Chapman also made a considerable contribution to the band musically playing on our new single and gigging with us at some of our most memorable gigs so far. We wish them both the best of luck in their future musical endeavours.

Currently we are auditoning bass players and now obviously seeking a drummer to complete the line up.

03/04/10 The Litten Tree was awesome for our first gig together - the crowd were really up for a good time. I lost my guitar pick at one point but retrieved it in time to keep playing! The sound was good but they couldn't figure out which mike was which on the guitars at first but they fixed it in the end ;) Zoe Swartz did a great set and also Nick Tathum did some awesome beat boxing. By the time we got off stage the crowd had really livened up. They do great burgers at the Litten Tree btw - tasty!  
04/03/10 The band have been booked to play a 45 minute set at The Litten Tree on Thursday 1st April in support of the British Heart Foundation. The event is being run by Paul Muckletston, whose father had a heart attack on New Years Eve, and is recovering well. Paul is working hard to raise money in support of the work done by the BHF and is also holding a 12 hour Pool Marathon at Sharkys Pool Hall in Old Christchurch Road this coming Saturday - entry is a £1.00 to play a game of pool.

Johanna Stahr will be supporting us on Sat April 10th at The Winchester. Johanna is a locally based singer/songwriter - visit her myspace site here. This will be the first gig with our new line up and we are excited about how things are developing with Jon and Rob. The Peachy sound has changed subtly from our previous line up and it promises to be an exciting evening. We are working hard at getting together a good number of popular cover songs as well as working on our original material. We will be releasing online a new song at the begining of March, which is a more mellower sound than some of our other songs. The song is called Drive Away the Dark and we hope to have it available for download on iTunes and Napster soon along with some of our other songs.

We are continuing to write new material and are adding new songs to our reportoire quite regularly as well as new covers. We also maybe recording a live album at some point over the summer although this is to be confirmed.

Peachy Jane would like to welcome Rob Haines as our new drummer

"Based now in Southampton, but I grew up in the Bournemouth area. I started playing in rock bands while still at school. At seventeen I went on the road with a gothic-rock band called "Bram Stoker". Various bands and projects followed, embracing a wide variety of music, including jazz, funk, rock, pop, country and disco music. For many years I toured Europe, Rob HainesScandinavia, Far East, Middle East and India in a hard-working covers band. Travelling is another one of my passions - I have an adventurous spirit and love to visit new places.

I enjoy most styles of music. I like the melodic pop/rock and harmonies of bands like The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. I appreciate the smooth jazz of George Benson and find Latin rhythms interesting. However, a drum kit is not an instrument to be "tickled" - it needs to be played. Rock music gives me that opportunity to stretch out and have fun!" - Rob Haines
