Peaches was an Australian pop music girl group who were active in the 1970s. The group was pioneered by record producer Gene Pierson and are referred to as Australia's first all-female band.[1]
Their highest charting single was a cover of The Righteous Brothers' "Substitute", which peaked at number 15 on the Australian Kent Music Report.
In 2011, Pierson reflected “I think the timing was absolutely perfect. There were so many boy bands around then.” Peter Hood, then owner and head engineer of Atlantic Records, said Peaches had potential to be world-class stars. “They were really very good. Margaret, the lead singer, was world-class; she was better than Suzi Quatro. We thought they would be a world-wide hit.”[1]
