Hi! It’s Jong, and I wanna shoutout and introduce my boy Michael! He does a lot of things behind the scenes and without him, Peach Luffe would not exist!!! I wanna give him a spotlight ! I’ll let him type out the rest: here's some things that we've done over the past couple of years: 1. Performed at SXSW in Texas (here's a candid from that) 2. Drumming and running our Vancouver show from my laptop! it keeps us in-time and lets you hear all of the additional music from our songs 3. Tracking drums for Fall For You Too 🫵 these most recent recordings are our first with live drums - this was recorded at @eric_vanier studio!! 4. Mastering the 'Everything is Peachy' album 5. Playing 'Smile' with my friends :) 6. Opening for @bubbleteaandcigarettes at our Toronto show with special guest @danimariamx (who helped write all of our new releases) 7. The mix session for Tangled, never seen before 8. A little drum playthrough and lyric video for Honeybee :) this kit lets me record and work remotely when we want to get ideas down! 9. Filming some promo content for 'Fallen'. The plane is a paid actor 10. Everyone's flights were delayed, so we went in to try and keep them happy 11. I had to chase Jong while I took photos 😂 It ended up as the cover of 'Fall For You Too' Jong runs fast, but i also beat him in our last race hehe 12. Chilling 13. One of my favourite shots: Jong and I woke up at 5am to go by the water. When we got there the sun was starting to rise and we had to hurry! the birds and the silhouette came together so nicely 🥲 Violins on this song are tasty If you need me (Michael) to help with drums/mixing/mastering, feel free to message me! we've been releasing music for 5 YEARS already and we're so grateful to anyone who has given us a listen 🎧 very grateful for Jong too, wouldn't be where I am in music without him!!!!

Summer reflections: Things get busier during the summer for us musicians! I've been moving pretty quickly (my brain faster than my body these days), and learning how to blend in more quality time with the people around me. Resting to regain my focus, and using what I've learned during my rest to approach each project Always intermingling my artist collaborations with my personal time, keeping me wholesome 😇 And for that reason, you're getting drumming and also Alpacas 🦙

AUGUST 1st is coming up quick and we got a wicked line up for yall, @the.highest.of.tea and @laniakeatheband @burdockbrewery //🤘TICKET LINK IN BIO💥 Friday, August 1 · Doors at 8pm Burdock Music Hall, 1184 Bloor St W
