"Cactus Peach began at 10:50 p.m. with a set of spacey rock. The five-member band switched instruments during the set and played songs in the vein of early Radiohead and mid-period Wilco." - The University Star
"The band members play multiple instruments and switch instruments with each other. For Eat, Ruttenberg alone sang and played the ukulele, drums, bass, keys and guitar. The Michael’s swap between drums and keys." - The Daily Texan
“Cactus Peach is a 5-piece psychedelic band with everything going for them – amazing talent surrounding them and remarkable talent among them…You know you wanna take this trip!” - Pen's Eye View

Bio
Cactus Peach has been known for their wild songwriting, unconventional band setup, as well as their newly added "old school" psychedelic oil projections at their shows.The band has fluctuated in number over the years (adding and subtracting folks) and due to this, prefers to think of itself more like a "family" of inactive and active members. Cactus Peach currently consists of the original lineup of Zane, Bain, Garret, and Frels, minus Micah. Other Inactive members include Ryan Neal and Dylan Neal, whom are on a long and seemingly permanent stead in Hollywood. “To keep things fresh”, they are what have been called a “switch band”, allowing all four members to rotate throughout their performance to different instruments in which they are proficient in. Their music has been described as "Celine Dion on Psychedelics" . Their influences ranges from Chopin and Debussy to the Beach Boys and The Thirteenth Floor Elevators, to Animal Collective and Smashing Pumpkins. The original members met while attending UT Austin through booze addled parties, malarky and whatnot.
