PEACH TREE RASCALS & FIG DELIVER HIGH-ENERGY PERFORMANCE IN TORONTO

BY BRENESSA ROACH | JUNE 24, 2024

On June 20th, 2024, San Jose, California based group Peach Tree Rascals performed in Toronto at Velvet Underground. This was their 13th stop on their 19 city North American tour For You. Peach Tree Rascals is a music collective consisting of Isaac Pech (singer/rapper), Tarrek Abdel-Khaliq (singer), Joseph Barros, Jasper Barros (guitarist), Dominic “Dom” Pizano (producer and mixer) and Jorge Olazaba (creative director). The group debuted on May 20th, 2018 with the single “Glide”. They went viral on TikTok after the release of their hit song “Mariposa” in August 2019 which has over 363 million streams on Spotify since its release.

The show started at 8 PM with an opening set by NYC based Indie-R&B Malaysian-Singaporean artist FIG accompanied by her guitarist/bassist David. She sang some of her popular songs such as; “Pair Of You” which has over 1.3 million streams, “Splinter” which has a little over 1 million streams and “Solo Dates”. She also sang some unreleased songs, one of them being “Feel Again” which was about her going to the club at 3 AM and wanting to feel again. This song was so catchy and we cannot wait for its release. She also sang her latest release “The Goo” which came out on May 23rd.

FIG’s stage presence was literally so amazing. Not only is she an amazing performer, she is so funny and engages with the crowd so well. She even took a brief intermission during her set to play trivia with the crowd, in which she gave away a pack of ramen and cheese.

We have been fans of FIG since last year and it was so amazing to finally see her live and we cannot wait to see her grow more.

Special thanks to FIG for giving us a media pass!

Peach Tree Rascals came on stage at 9 PM and brought the energy. The venue was sold out and the whole crowd was going wild for these men and we understand why. They delivered such a high energy performance and they were incredible.

Their voices together are so beautiful and with Isaac’s rap, it really completes every single song. Some of our favourite performances were “Things Won’t Go My Way”, “Lately I”, “Oh Honey! (I Love You)” and “C’est La Vie”. They were so engaging with the crowd, going back and forth on the stage making sure to sing to every fan. Additionally, they even had the fans singing back to them during “Lately I” and “Oh Honey! (I Love You)” which was so fun and the crowd sang beautifully.

Going into this show, we only had heard of “Mariposa” and “Lately I”, but we can confidently say now, we have had their songs on repeat since the show and are big fans now. We also met them after the show and they were literally so sweet.

Overall, the night was amazing! With all of their vocal ranges and unique skills and personalities, the night was just beautiful and we hope to see them again on their next tour.
