PEACH PIT RELEASES NEW SONG “VICKIE”
FORTHCOMING ALBUM FROM 2 TO 3 SET TO RELEASE MARCH 4
BAND TO EMBARK ON 52-DATE NORTH AMERICAN / EUROPEAN TOUR THIS SPRING;
SOLD-OUT SHOWS IN NYC, LA, SAN FRAN & MORE
Indie rock band Peach Pit has released new song “Vickie” from their forthcoming album From 2 to 3 due March 4. Listen HERE. The upbeat track arrives alongside an official video that was filmed by their longtime collaborator Lester Lyons-Hookham and is reminiscent of the band’s visual for their breakthrough hit “Seventeen.”
In speaking about the inspiration behind “Vickie,” lead-singer Neil Smith says: "I was hanging out with my friend Vickie a few years back, and we got to talking about her birthday which was coming up. Without me asking, she said 'all I want for my birthday is for someone to write a song about me'. Anyways, I got the hint. I'd actually already started writing something that began with the line 'If you lived right down the street' and decided to make a song about what life would be like if Vickie and I were neighbors. Now years later the song is on our new record and you get to see the journey from my place to Vickie’s in the music video."
Peach Pit "Vickie"
From 2 to 3 will be released both digitally and physically, including on vinyl, and is available for pre-order now. Produced by Robbie Lackritz [Feist, Jack Johnson], the 11-track LP infuses more organic and acoustic elements into Peach Pit’s signature-smooth sound, with many band members playing multiple instruments on the record such as tambourine, cowbell, harmonica, lap steel, and more. From 2 to 3 includes “Vickie” as well as previously released songs “Up Granville” and “Look Out!” – see tracklisting below.
Peach Pit will embark on a 52-date tour across North America, the UK, and Europe in celebration of their album release. With most shows selling out immediately, the band will kick off the North American leg on March 12 in Seattle, WA and perform for sold-out crowds in Los Angeles, Boston, New York, and more before concluding in Portland, OR on April 26. The band will then head overseas for the UK/European run, which kicks off in Dublin, Ireland on May 9. Peach Pit will play shows throughout the UK as well as in Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and more, with the final stop in Stockholm, Sweden on June 2.

Through bad breakups, bouts of loneliness, existential crises, and even pandemics, true friends stick around. Instead of bending and breaking, their bonds crystallize in the roughest of rough patches. If friendship had a sound, it would be Peach Pit. The wistful grooves, glassy guitars, and sun-kissed melodies feel like they could only be made by musicians who have spent close to a lifetime (or at least half of their lives) together. The Vancouver quartet—Neil Smith [vocals, guitar], Chris Vanderkooy [guitar], Peter Wilton [bass], and Mikey Pascuzzi [drums]—trace their union back to high school. During 2016, they served up the self-titled single, “Peach Pit,” eclipsing north of 100 million total streams counting.
The group continued to gain traction with their 2017 full-length debut, Being So Normal. Among many highlights, “Tommy’s Party” and “Alrighty Aphrodite” both surpassed 50 million Spotify streams as they graced the bills of festivals such as Shaky Knees Festival, Bonnaroo, Firefly Festival and many more. In 2020 Peach Pit revealed You and Your Friends, which DIY Mag hailed as “12 tracks of infectious indie-pop gems” while Atwood Magazine described the band as being “at the cutting edge of the alternative music scene.” Carrying this momentum into 2021, they kick off the next chapter of the band and their friendship with “Up Granville” and “Look Out!”
