Peachcake is an American group from Carefree/Cave Creek, Arizona, formed in December 2003.

Their Myspace page describes them thusly: "Mr. Stefan Pruett and Mr. Johnny O'Keefe are Peachcake, a couple of pretty good-looking vigilantes who use their mutant-based powers to protect the World from audio-terrorism. After their creation in Carefree/Cave Creek, Arizona, the duo's quest to do something positive lead them to their current headquarters in the Phoenix Art District. With the help of an all-star team, Peachcake consistently travels to many states and territories throughout North America... while moving outward and beyond, with the message of love!" Peachcake has entered the hearts of many, and while giving advice, making music and being the best humans they can be, they still have time to do some of their favorite activities.

Originally started as a joke project to experiment with electronical music has become a nation-sensation. The band originally did not plan to last longer than three shows, including a dismal first show at a small club, Evolution, where the band was gated off from the audience. The band played an early set that night due to conflict with Pruett's other band at the time, Drawing Down the Sun, a post-hardcore and emo project in which he played bass. Both played in numerous bands and projects prior to Peachcake, including the latter mentioned, Enemy of Society, Ding Dong Pilgrims and many others. It has been said of Pruett in the past to be in at least five projects at once.

They have played as part of Vans Warped Tour and appeared at SXSW, as well as toured with hellogoodbye.

They were featured on Jones Soda bottles and were finalists in a Fanta contest.

They have won awards from Phoenix New Times, Arizona Infusion of Music and the AZ Ska-Punk Awards.

They are currently sponsored by Jones Soda. Their music is licensed through MTV and other international companies.

The term 'peachcake' is derived from the show Saved By The Bell, of which the two are heavy fans.
