PEACHES : Show Review and Interview by Zinthra


Peaches Show Review


* Location: First Avenue Main stage - Downtown Mpls., MN

* Set Time: 2 hours - May 8th 2004

* Entrance: Peaches grazed on to the stage with a guitar solo backed up by beats, following her climbing up on the speakers to then hoist her self atop the stair case and run around the whole club while singing…no one dared to stop her, even if the security guards seamed a little bothered.

* What got the crowd:  Well not only did you have Peaches the great, but you also got two dancers to back her up. Each time they entered back on to the stage they had a different outfit on. As for the songs . . . it seemed that every one already knew all the lyrics to all of her songs, including the person she grabbed out of the crowed to come up and sing with her. I am still asking myself if this person was really just a fan or some one that she hired.  Yet I know last time she was in town one of the people that she grabbed to come up on stage with her was a friend of mine.

* Ending: Well one of the songs she ended with was a cover of “gay bar”. As for her exit is was very graceful. After sexually assaulting the audience for two hours she some how left you still wanting more…if that is possible.

* What props where used: mic’s, keyboards, electric guitars, bananas, grapes, blood capsules, hula hoops, “toy’s”, movie screen projectors, about 10 different articles of clothing,  porn star sun glasses, wigs, you know all the things you had when you where seventeen.

* Performance Rating: ***** She was full of energy, and just interesting to watch.

* Technical Rating: *****  This is hard to rate being most of the “technical” things she was doing had nothing to do with her interments, about 70% of what was being played was pre recorded. So if I was rating her on how technical all her actions where this is what I would give her.



Peaches Interview


Zin: What was your favorite cartoon as a child?

P: umm, I really like old spider man, I like the way they use the same scenes with different speeches. But you know when he goes to the boss, you know, what’s his name? I forget his name. What is his name you know? But it is the exact same scene but with different words. I like the rependivness of that.  But my second favorite cartoon is bugs bunny, I think that bug’s bunny is a brilliant comedian and an amazing character.

 

Zin: If you had to pick your favorite color as a child what would it be?

P: I really don’t remember having a favorite color as a child, it’s so weird but I just remember black being my favorite color as a child, it’s weird but it’s true. It was never like pink or something ya.

 

Zin: So you are currently on tour right now for you last release fatherfxxker, could you tell me how your fans have been reacting to your new marital?

P: ohh fantastic, they have been coming out with beards like the cover of my album. They have been spray painting “shake your Dix’s” on the back of there jacket. One girl had a Mohawk with father fxxker shaved on the sides. Umm I don’t know , they seam to know all the words to the whole album, and they all sing along.

 

Zin: What was your favorite thing about working with Iggie Pop?

P: Just that it was Iggie Pop, and he is just so cute and fantastic.

 

Zin: Why do you limit your self to the mc 505?

P: Well I don’t really feel like it’s limiting because it’s got every Roland sound ever made, and I also use electric guitar and live drums. I don’t really feel that it is limiting, the reason that I used it on my first album exclusively is that I realized that if I used all the same sounds for drums, base, and synth  all in the same machine, that it would actually be able to relate to another better, and it would be easer for me to mix  it. And because it was all apart of the same thing and then I would just use stereo out put like left and right channel, so it just made it more clean.

 

Zin: In the world of electro what do you find the most influential right now that’s out there?

P: hip hop, missy elite, the Neptune’s

 

Zin: If I got to look inside your cd player right now, what would I find?

P: the gossip

 

Zin: Tell me what prompted you to start making music in the first place?

P: umm, well it just kind of happened, like a lot of things in peaches it’s just pretty accidental . I kind of got a gig first before I was even righting music and then I was playing acoustic guitar, and I ended up playing for like a year and a half for a week so I started writing songs and then I moved from folk you know, to some jazz and then new wave, and then punk, and a lot of my friends moved away, bust I still wanted to make music so I  got the machines and just tried pretended that I was the drummer and the bass player and everybody and I made music that way.

 

Zin: Are you working on any new marterial right now?

P: yep

 

Zin: oh ya

P: ya

 

Zin: I look forward to hear it .

 

Zin: I heard that your lyrics are discussed as a part of the course curriculum at the University of  Toronto’s Queer studies.

P: yea, there is also one out in the University of Arkansas , they just did papers on my album actually, and the professor came and gave me the best paper.

 

Zin: If you where in charge of that curriculum what would you do with it?

P: it’s not really my interest, I am a musician.  ..umm. . so I don’t know

 

Zin: What is one thing that you wish an interviewer would ask you , but they never do?

P: they never ask me on a date

 

Zin: ohhh ya. . .I see. . I see
