Late last week, Alternative named The Peach Kings the Grand Prize Winner of its first ever Unsigned Artist Competition. The August 5th event, which took place at Le Poisson Rouge in New York City, featured our four phenomenal finalists, including the Peach Kings, The Lighthouse and the Whaler, Button Willow Locomotive and M.anifest. While the performances were stellar all around, the California-based Peach Kings' immense talent and creativity, along with the support of their fans, has earned them the Grand Prize--which means they walked away with $1500 cash, an Alternative Apparel wardrobe, two Epiphone Hummingbird guitars and a spot in Paste magazine's fall music line-up. The duo will also be featured in an upcoming Alternative Apparel campaign. Thanks to our panel of judges and all who voted--your voices have been heard!

About The Peach Kings
The Peach Kings have been described as a modern-day Bridget Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg. With Paige Wood on vocals and guitar and Steven Trezevant on guitar, their sound is an organic blend of gypsydelic, rootsy soul, which can be described as "heist music in Technicolor." Keep your ears to the ground for their summer EP release, Polyester Moon.
