Line up: Gio and John played together in a band named Apple. They were demo of the month in Aardschokmagazine, played as support act for
Golden Earring, won a bands-competition, played on festivals with Herman Brood, Daryll Ann, Van Dik Hout and Hans Dulfer. John played with Eric Singer (ex-Kiss,-Alice Cooper,-Gary Moore) in Zaandam en D?seldorf. But when Apple didnīt get signed, spirits were fading. Thatīs when they decided it was time for something new, which turned out to be The Peachkings! Before teaming up with John & Gio, Dennis played in a band named BellyButton. They made a name for themselves locally, as they played as support act for the Golden Earring and american rockers Tyketto. Dennis still does some duo performances with the female singer Danielle Benjamins (actually the two of them played an acoustic song during the last liberation festival just before dutch rockgoddess Anouk would hit the stage!).
Rik started playing the drums when he was five years old. Heīs
been playing ever since along with church choirs, school-(big)bands. He even was one of the thousand drummers on the river Maas together with Cesar Zuiderwijk (Golden Earring)! Heīs also a cousin of John and Dennis. PBN-Management
