Peaches rolls into Victoria Park with her circus of freaky friends in tow, ready to rock the London Loveboxers with her historical ‘Wheelchair Show’; a raucous, hilarious, once-in-a-lifetime performance you definitely didn’t want to miss!
Since the show we’ve been flooded with mails from fans all over the globe asking when the footage is going to appear– and we’re glad to say it’s finally here!
Before we let you backstage to see the madness in the making, here’s a selection of what the press had to say about ‘The Wheelchair Show’–
“If Jones delivered in style, then electroclash dominatrix Peaches raised the bar earlier in the day with a superbly outrageous set. Appearing on stage with her leg in a cast, the singer was pushed around in a wheelchair by a naked Amazonian pre-op transsexual. “This is not a joke,” she assured the audience. “I couldn’t not come to Lovebox!” She didn’t disappoint as ‘Talk to Me,’ ‘Billionaire’ and ‘F— the Pain Away’ caused the sizeable crowd to dance despite the beating sun.”
“The defining moment of this year’s Lovebox – possibly, even, of any festival this year – comes about 10 minutes into Peaches’ Sunday afternoon set. It’s already got off to a colourful start. We’re greeted by the sight of the electro provocateur arriving on stage wearing a head-to-toe coat that appears to be made of raggedy fibres. This is soon dispensed with, and she cavorts in what resembles an S&M bra and panties kit, wearing some kind of gimp mask. So far, so odd. Then it gets really weird. This, it transpires, is not Peaches….
The real Peaches is wheeled on stage in a pink wheelchair with a throne attachment, leg in a plaster cast, and spends the rest of her set being pushed round the stage by a naked pre-operative transsexual, whose name might be Danny. Well, it’s certainly a talking point.”
For those of you who follow Peaches on Twitter or Facebook, you’ll know that last weekend, whilst performing at the Marés Vivas Festival 2010 in Portugal, Peaches screwed up her ankle big time at the beginning of her set… it was the giant leap from the drum riser in the mammoth ghillie suit that did it!!
Of course, in true Peaches style, she finished off the set (including crowd walking!!) without a whimper – with nothing but adrenaline to keep her goin!!
And the end result?
An ankle the size of a melon and a big bad-ass plaster cast around her right leg!
With the Lovebox Weekender in London just two days later, what was she going to do? There’s no way she could cancel!
Ingeniously, Peach got to work on putting together an exclusive set for the London Festival goers– a hilarious performance that will forever be known as ‘The Wheelchair Show’!!
We’ve got an exclusive Peaches Wheelchair Mini-doc coming up very soon, full of hilarious behind-the-scenes footage from the festival. But here’s a sneak preview to keep ya keen!
Were any of you lucky enough to witness ‘The Wheelchair Show’ first hand? If so, let us know and leave a comment!
On May 8th 2010 the 5th Annual Donau Festival landed in the Lower Austrian town of Krems an der Donau, fronted by PEACHES who was invited this year to curate the special event. Needless to say, the Festival was a huge success!
Peaches, for her the second time as festival curator, brought along her sensational & sexed-up musical circus, with guests hand-picked from her catalog of favourite acts and collaborators.
This week we’ll be focusing in on some of these guests, as well as showing off some awesome footage of Peaches doin’ her thing on stage!
But, to start, lets introduce the New York cult-Icon and comic stripper Sandy “The Naked Cowgirl” Kane! We caught up with her at the festival to hear what she had to say about being personally invited by Peaches!
Stay Tuned for more stories & snaps from the Festival!
Many thanks to FM4 Radio for providing the footage.
Check out these highlights from Peaches’ wild show in Moscow’s Arma 17 Club on 14th May 2010! Sadly the camera missed Peaches writhing all over the spectacular LAMBORGHINI that joined her on stage but we’ll be posting some photos from the gig here in the coming weeks.
Peaches was thrilled to do a 2 week solo tour of Asia last month, where she hit up cities like Shanghai, Taipei, Denpansar, Macau, Beijing, and Singapore.
Robin our amazing video editor looked through YouTube at Peaches request, and made a video compilation of all the fan footage that he found from Peaches Asian tour.
