Listen "Peaches' songs that bite back"
Episode Synopsis
Peaches has been blowing minds for almost 20 years. The Canadian musician, performer, and trailblazer puts on the kind of show you’ll never forget; a transgressive, free, openly sexual and often political display of her own utopia. Everything she does, is designed to make an impact, start a conversation. In the two decades she’s been making art, concepts around gender, freedom and sexuality have morphed and broadened. What happens when the world catches up to what you’ve been banging on about, for years? Over five songs we talked about that, and explored her musical DNA. From the foundations of PJ Harvey, to Canadian new wave, playful politics in Germany and Greek American goddesses. This is a masterclass in music history, and artistic freedom.PJ Harvey - '50ft Queenie'Rough Trade - 'High School Confidential'DAF - 'Der Mussolini' Missy Elliot - 'Get Yer Freak On'Diamanda Galas - 'My love will Never Die'
