Peachcake are an American indie pop group from Carefree/Cave Creek, Arizona, formed in December 2003.

Biography

According to the band's MySpace page: "Mr. Stefan Pruett and Mr. Johnny O'Keefe are Peachcake, a couple of pretty good-looking vigilantes who use their mutant-based powers to protect the World from audio-terrorism. After their creation in Carefree/Cave Creek, Arizona, the duo's quest to do something positive lead them to their current headquarters in the Phoenix Art District. With the help of an all-star team, Peachcake consistently travels to many states and territories throughout North America... while moving outward and beyond, with the message of love!"
