Finally checked out Peaches - strikes me as Lords of Acid material on a hip-hop template. Not bad, kinda fun. I woulda loved this as a teenager. Curious what she looks like…Sandra Bernhard, really?
i’ve seen her perfomance when she was opening for bjork here in russia. can’t say that i would listen to either bjork or peaches at home but the shows were really great. it was before peaches even had her first album out. she just ran around the stage singing to a backing tape that had all the music, nothing else was on the stage. oh yes, she was also dressed ‘in layers’ or something - she took off like 10 bikinis off herself or something, uncovering a new bikini underneath each time.

She’s NOT attractive.

I think her scraggliness is definitely part of the appeal.
Ehh she aint so bad if she cleaned up and did something with that nasty wolf mane…
They played a huge variety of material from ALL of their albums. Al Jourgensen needs to take some fuckin notes.
Another interesting thing was they played “Help Me I am in Hell” (instrumental from Broken EP) and there were these incredible lighting effects. Impossible to describe but breathtaking visual effects. This whole NIN tour has had some AWESOME visuals. Fucking cool.
word x 2.
I checked them out this weekend in Toronto. Peaches was a lot better than I expected, and even though I’ve never been into Bauhaus, I was very impressed with their live show.
I’ve never seen NIN in as good shape as they were that night.
Like what was said above, hearing shit like The Big Comedown, La Mer and especially Help Me I Am In Hell was such a bonus. (Light show made it magical). Al needs to start playing random stuff like that.
We also got to hear Down In It. w00t.

She looks like a skinny Tom Hanks in a bikini with Weird Al Yankovic’s hair.
That’s my official verdict.
