PEACHES IN CONCERT:
Electronic pop provocateur Peaches blends undeniably catchy hooks with performance art at her thrilling live concerts. Pitched halfway between Lady Gaga’s art pop perfection and Suicide’s confrontational synthpunk, Peaches’ intense dance beats and shocking stage show treat ticket buyers to an edgy spectacle they won’t be able to look away from. Peaches rewards her audience’s curiosity with elaborate costume changes and choreography on tour. All her style is matched by some serious substance, and she shows off rock star pipes on fan favorites like “Why Don’t You Talk to Me”, “Serpentine”, and “I Feel Cream”. Whether you consider her an art house genius or a subversive pop princess, you won’t be able to forget Peaches’ insane live shows.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Peaches, aka Merrill Beth Nisker, grew up a class clown in her native Toronto, Canada. She relocated to Berlin, Germany in 2000 and received a recording contract from Kitty-Yo following a one-off performance she did shortly after arriving in the country. The same year she programmed and recorded every instrument on her critically praised debut album The Teaches of Peaches. Her 2006 album Impeach My Bush helped her reach a wider audience thanks to guest contributions from contemporaries like Joan Jett, Josh Homme, and Feist. In 2012 she wrote, directed, and performed in her first feature film, the musical mock-biopic Peaches Does Herself, which received warm reviews during its premier at the Toronto International Film Festival. Peaches continues to deliver provocative and groundbreaking performances, both at her jaw-dropping live shows and on stellar albums like 2015’s RUB.
I've rarely seen anyone bring more energy, integrity, creativity and raw kick-assedness to a concert than Peaches did last night. She completely rocked it. A unique talent for party freaks, rock intelligentsia, hip hoppers and anybody else who loves high energy, ballsy music.
What is true of any great artist is true of Peaches.... She puts on one hell of a Live show. I've seen her 4 times and I would see her a thousand more. Amazing.
Yes, Peaches is campy and it's always fun to see her CRAZY costumes, but she used to be funny. Now she's just getting old and creepy.
If you know Peaches, then you know what she's like- and the night's show saw Peaches the artist, Peaches the entertainer, and Peaches the sexual revolutionist at their very best: champagne thrown into the crowd, crowd walking and surfing through Terminal 5, the works. Great opening acts too, I'm glad Jessica 6 are finally putting their genius out there. A fantastic show.
Peaches was GREAT....the 2 openers were not bad but 2 was 1 too many. PEACHES Rocks!
Peaches rocked the house. Three encores. Played all her best hits.
She was amazing...Multiple costume changes, video trickery, crowd surfing (she performed two tracks while being held upright out in the audience!) lasers programmed like theremins. She hit all the classics, and threw in a well considered group of trracks she didn't perform last time around at Webster Hall ("Slippery Dick", "Fatherf*cker"). Two multi-track encores. Fans will leave happy, and newbies converted. Leave the kids at home! ;-)
I was not familiar with any of the artists on the bill--the tickets were a gift for a friend. I really enjoyed all three performers but Amanda Blank really stood out for me. Her stage presence was fun and her music & rap was original and kicking. I became an instant fan and will definitely keep an eye out for her in the future. The headliner, Peaches, was good and her look/act/persona reminds me very much of those fab, over-the-top, arty German acts from the 80's. She was fun. This was also my first time at this venue, Terminal 5, and it was fantastic!
i love peaches! she is always awesome!! my only complaint was that she kept on making us believe that she was performing her last song when that was not the case. her 'encore' was 6-7 songs... as i was leaving she went back on stage and i wound up with a crap view of the performance.
this was an amazing concert. Peaches presence is like nothing ive seen. she really knows how toget the crowd going! this was an overall great time, and would recommend her shows to anyone who wants to have a good time!
She's loveable even when she's ballsy. She's everybody's kid sister doing the BIG strong rock star stuff full tilt boogie with considerable power and charm. Her costumes are great. Her band is tight, her showmanship is high energy. Laser light encore was cool. "Fuck the Pain Away" remains one of the greatest electro-pop songs ever written.
as many costume changes as songs. wicked light shows. peaches managed to take the worst venue in manhattan and make it work.
She is awesome period. The best. A very long set. 3 encore. A light show. She literally walked on the crowd. Outfits were amazing.
Great show, full of energy amazing costumes and lighting. Very cool audience.
What an amazing show... So much energy on stage!!! Me and my friends had the best time EVER!!!!
Peaches os such an amazing and under rated artist. I've loved her since college and will always go see her on tour!
terrible opening acts. Luckily peaches brought it. Great visual production.
This was hands down the best concert I have ever been to! Her opener was awesome and had a great vibe. I will definitely be listening to their music in the future. Peaches was nothing short of incredible! She started with Mud, which I thought was a strange choice, but it really worked in getting everybody worked up. She was on GO thru the whole performance, jumping into and standing on the crowd, jumping off of equipment, lots of costume changes, playing with her band, getting the audience to take their shirts off, spitting blood on people, and just being a total sexy badass about everything. She pretty much went through all of I Feel Cream, and some songs from her other albums as well, including Fuck the Pain Away. She did TWO encores which blew my mind. This was my first time seeing her in concert. I live two hours from the concert venue, it was a Monday night, and I had work the next day, but she was so awesome I would gladly make the trip again if she returns to Atlanta! If you get a chance to she her show, I highly recommend it!
I had never been to a concert in a small venue with moshpits and crowdsurfing before. Peaches sure knows how to have fun! She was throwing herself all over the audience and hanging from water pipes! I am very short and it was sort of uncomfortable flighting with ppl who were bigger than me but the moshpit actually threw me to the very front row! I've never felt that sort of energy before. I'll make sure to wear less next time I go to one because she gets going and we got pumpin!
this was my 6th time seeing Peaches live in concert, and she just gets better every time. she tours more than any other artist i can think of, and puts her all into her shows. if you haven't seen or heard of her, check her out..definitely worth seeing live!
