The line "Do I dare to eat a peach?" by poet T.S. Eliot is the first thing you see when you visit the bio page of the Peaches [ tickets ] website. It's the first hint that--although she is known for being outrageous and confrontational--underneath it all Peaches is the thinking man's diva.
Peaches' fans have come to expect her flamboyant, gender-bending costumes and aggressive stage antics. Performance art aside, the substance of her music is no less unfettered, best described as 21st century electronics combined with lyrics at times so explicit they could make a stripper blush. This spring, she released her fifth studio album "I Feel Cream," which includes contributions from likes of Simian Mobile Disco [ tickets ], Soulwax [ tickets ] and Digitalism [ tickets ].
