Radio de The Moldy Peaches

The Moldy Peaches are an indie group from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA, founded by Adam Green and Kimya Dawson. Leading proponents of the anti-folk scene, the band has been on hiatus since 2004. The appearance of their song "Anyone Else But You" in the recent film Juno has significantly raised their profile, and Dawson and Green have made a couple of promotional appearances together. Adam Green and Kimya Dawson met at Exile on Main Street Records in Mount Kisco, New York and began working together.[1] Along with some of Adam's friends they put out a CDR album called FER THE KIDS before Kimya moved to Port Townsend, Washington.[2] In early 1999 Adam joined her there and the Moldy Peaches were formed. The band returned to NYC as a 4 piece later in the year. They became active on the NYC Anti-folk scene, playing at the Sidewalk Cafe before the band broke up.[2] Kimya and Adam both recorded solo albums. the band reformed in August 2000, dropping the 2000 from their name, with Chris Barron of the Spin Doctors on lead guitar.[2] A new 11 song album was recorded, which led to a deal with Rough Trade in the UK.[2] They gained recognition after their initial 7" 'Who's Got the Crack" was named 'Single of the Week' in NME. Rough Trade released the album The Moldy Peaches in 2001. Released in the U.S. on September 11, 2001, it contained the song "NYC Is Like a Graveyard". The band expanded to a six-piece, with guitarists Jack Dishel and Aaron Wilkinson, bass player Steven Mertens, and drummer Strictly Beats, augmenting the original duo of Kimya and Adam. They toured internationally with The Strokes with whom they shared record label and management.
