REVIEW
BY TAMLYN HEAD www.unsignedchart.com
 "Bournemouth
based unisex rock band PEACHY JANE graced us with their presence
on the live stage. I always like a hard rock band with female
vocalists, as it introduces a new element to hard rock. Although
ultimately a hard rock band, Peachy Jane's sound also includes
slight reggae undertones, immediately and sub-consciously putting
the audience at ease and making them feel laid back and ready
to enjoy the music."

"As
usual Solid Air are on the ball with their Fem Vox event on Monday the
16th. Check out Peachy Jane featuring Rebecca Fludgate on rhythm guitar
and sister Vicky on vocals. Saw this band at a really enjoyable gig
recently at The Tripp Late. Strong original material encompassing a
variety of styles. Graham Brown on drums and Simon Kang on bass provide
the backline, while lead guitar is provided by Daniel Kietzmann. With
Jenny Venus + Louise Brown on the same bill, this will be another classic
Solid Air event." - Ian Peterson, Live Wire July 2007

FM BREAKTHOUGH ARTIST OF THE MONTH GIG REVIEW BY ALAN DOREY
THE
MUSICAL BUS 
"Peachy
Jane brought their brand of rock - an amalgam of perhaps Jefferson
Airplane, Fleetwood Mac and any number of guitar-driven outfits
- to life in the second half and despite some of lead-singer Vicky's
vocals being lost in the guitar-mix, it was clear they wanted
to put on a good show. Kicking off with one of their best numbers,
Dragon Dreams, the rhythm section showed themselves to be a tight
unit - and lyricist Beca's strident guitar soared across the driving
beat. A couple of new songs were dropped into the set - sadly
whilst the structure and interest was there, more practice was
needed - but that will come. Bizarrely, a distinctly average cover
of Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon cropped up, but the situation was
soon remedied with storming versions of Harmony - and a song with
real soul, Soho. By now, Peachy Jane had gelled and earlier diversions
forgotten.They added an encore, an accomplished take on the Neil
Young number. Keep On Rocking In The Free World. Covers are a
difficult animal, but this one was tamed and provided an upbeat
end to a fine night out."

AT ACTIVE REVIEW BY TIM HEYWOOD www.hopefm.com
"I
like music that takes me by my lapels and grabs my attention.
The EP Live At Active from Peachy Jane does just that. Dragon
Dreams is a great opener, shakes out a stupor and makes its mark.
The opening riffs of Harmony, bearing echoes as it does of The
Hour Glass and The Allman Brothers, takes you by storm and soon
has you tapping your foot along to the nostalgic vocals. Soho
opens with a wide and low dirty riff, whilst still having a feel
of swing to it. Heart totally contrasts the rest of the EP, with
guitar work wanting you to float away down a river somewhere.
The backbeat, almost reggae feel to I Know switches back and forth
with a raunchy and enjoyable chorus. Over all this EP entertains
and enlivens, with upbeat vocals and harmonious guitar works."
