Frequently earning comparisons to the Kinks and Elliott Smith, Michigan rock band the Satin Peaches recorded a demo EP before hooking up with Oasis manager Marcus Russell and signing on with major label Island. Just getting out of their teen years, the bandmembers dropped out of college, went on tour, and began prepping a full-length. Following some member changes, the lineup by 2007 was George Morris (guitar, vocals, piano), Aaron Nelson (bass, vocals, piano), Ryan Wiese (guitar, vocals, keyboard), and Jeremy Smith (drums). In summer 2007 the Satin Peaches were included in the lineup of the large Chicago music festival Lollapalooza. ~ Kenyon Hopkin
