It’s been six years since Peaches released her last studio album. But far from being a break, these past six years have been some of the busiest and most productive in the provocative musician-producer-filmmaker-performance artist’s career. From acclaimed theater productions to her cinematic debut at the Toronto International Film Festival to the release of her first book, Peaches pushed herself further and with more artistic rewards than ever before during her time away from the studio. That work ethic should come as little surprise, though. This is Peaches we’re talking about, an artist who’s managed to wield immeasurable influence over mainstream pop culture while still operating from outside of its confines, carving a bold, sexually progressive path in her own image that’s opened the door for countless others to follow. Now, creatively refreshed and recharged, she’s emerged from the studio in rare form with ‘RUB,’ her fifth and most unequivocal album to date. It’s an adventurous, audacious musical statement, the latest entry in a conversation Peaches opened up 15 years ago and the world may just now have finally caught up with.

“Since 2000, I’ve been making a record for a year, and then touring it for two years over and over,” Peaches explains of the impetus for her studio hiatus. “After 10 years of doing that, I needed a change. I didn’t feel like writing another album and touring it for two years again, so I was really excited to try new projects.”

That desire led to her one-woman production of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar,’ redubbed ‘Peaches Christ Superstar’ and mounted initially in Berlin before touring the world. “It was an endurance performance,” she explains, “and a time for me to celebrate my actual singing voice, which I never pursued as Peaches.“

Das Berliner Electro-Punk-Rock Duo Prada Meinhoff wird das Konzert von Peaches eröffnen:

Das Berliner Electro-Punk-Rock Duo Prada Meinhoff, bestehend aus René Riewer und Christin Nichols, hat sich vor einem Jahr zusammengetan, um seine Musik und schlechten Einflüsse unter Volk und Jugend zu mischen. Geprägt vom alten deutschen HipHop über Peaches, den Goldenen Zitronen, Hole und Kurt Weill bis John Frusciante, Suzi Quatro oder Kraftwerk: Die Sängerin und der Bassist bringen einen Sound zustande, den es in dieser Weise und auf Deutsch gesungen sicher noch nicht gibt. Und wenn doch, dann ist es Prada Meinhoff auch egal. Hauptsache, es brennt!

Als Support von Tüsn und Milliarden konnten sie das Publikum bereits von ihren Live Qualitäten überzeugen. Die neue Single „Maske“ wird am 12.05. mit neuem Video über Freudenhaus Recording veröffentlicht. VÖ ihrer Debut EP steht für Frühsommer 2017 an.
