For those of you who’ve been living under a subcultural rock, Peaches wooed the indie world last year with her beatbox porn debut, The Teaches of Peaches (Kitty-Yo). Formerly an elementary-school teacher in Toronto, she got bored with life there, reinvented herself, and moved to Berlin, where scenesters were quick to recognize the genius of a woman spanking herself in pink hotpants and reciting raunchy deadpan raps like, “There’s only one Peach with a hole in the middle.” Armed with a trusty Roland MC505 sequencer, her music is simple with bawdy, repetitive lyrics — think Gary Glitter as a horny chick on cocaine. Her live show is a post-Spockian spectacle, in which audience members are known to strip, hump, and chant “Fuck the pain away!” in unison. Yes, for real.
