Peaches

The electroclash movement's raunchy side came to be embodied in the figure of one Merrill Nisker, aka Peaches, a Canadian-born singer/producer who first emerged as part of the Berlin electronica scene. Her first album under her Peaches nom de guerre, 2000's "The Teaches of Peaches," was groundbreaking less for its music—a mix of punk-rock aggression and sleazy, pulsing disco—than for its frank, often obscene sexuality, which gleefully switched up gender roles and made Peaches one of the filthiest purveyors of dance-club soundtracks since 2 Live Crew. Her fourth album, "I Feel Cream," squirts into stores May 5.
