Peaches heads to Korea later this week to install her ‘Fan Base’ for the exhibition ‘No More Heroes & Daughters’ at the Aram Art Gallery in the Goyang Cultural Foundation.

For the project ‘Fan Base’ Peaches has created a cave where all the items that were thrown on stage to her during Peaches shows hang like stalactites. On the back wall of the cave is an edited video of 30 different live Peaches  performances for the song ‘Fuck the Pain Away’ sung spontaneously by 30 separate audience members who were spontaneously  invited up during these shows.

‘Fan Base’ was already shown at 2007 La 5e Biennale de Montreal. More items have been added and will continue to be added from more recent concerts.

Curated by Jung Me & Eujung Kim, the exhibition will feature many internationally renowned artists such as Ho-Jun Song, Thomas Eller, Jan Peter E. R. Sonntag and Katharina Sieverding, among others.

The show opens on the 6th October.

Join Peaches for a little look in the Fan Base!

Fresh from her appearance at the Berlin Festival, Peaches arrived in New York this week to take part in friend and former stylist Vaughan Alexander’s show in the fashion week with his label ‘Verlaine‘.

Peaches has been invited to arrange the music for the show.

Many of you will be familliar with Vaughan’s work – even if you don’t recognize the name – who has supported Peaches throughout her career with an incredible amount of costumes – both for the  live shows and for music videos.

You’ll have seen the legendary white tombstone leather jacket and matching hotpants he created for the ‘Fatherfucker’ tour, the silver and black leather outfits of the ‘Impeach my Bush’ tour with the Herms. And there’s no way you could miss the big pink ball costume, the gold cape, the ‘fuck you’ body suit or the jokers black and gold leather costume from the ‘I Feel Cream’ tour!!

Plenty of his designs have featured in Peaches music vids too – like the pink hotpants and jacket combo in the ‘Kick it’ video, all of the costumes for Peaches and the band in ‘Boys wanna be her’ and in the white leather bathing suit in the ‘I Feel Cream’ video, which he styled!

When asked how she came to meet Vaughan, she told us “Vaughan met me right before my show in NYC in 2002, looked me up and down, disappeared and then showed up with leather hot pants which fit me perfectly!”

Here’s a little blast from the past to coincide with Peaches and Vaughan’s slot at the NYC fashion week this week alongside a little show-reel of some of the marvellous costumes Vaughan has created over the years!

This week Peaches and Sweet Machine are holed up in an industrial hanger out in west Berlin, having regrouped with all the gear they’ll need for this weekend’s LIVE LASER SHOW at the BERLIN FESTIVAL!!

Technically speaking, a midi-Laser Show is no mean feat! So the gang are hard at work right now; programming, choreographing and rehearsing intensely for the show.

Here’s what the Berlin Festival site has to say about it:

“Now she discovered laser for herself, and from now on stage performances will never be the same again. Instruments and tool are totally yesterday’s news. By disrupting various laser beams, Peaches creates electronic soundscapes, and adds even a little coreography to her performance that should definitely not be missed. No wonder, she’s a special guest on BNR stage at Berlin Festival this year in order to celebrate “1o Years of Teaches of Peaches.”

Dont miss the Laser show on the BNR stage at 00:30 on 11th September.

Here’s a little compilation of Laser shots we put together in anticipation of Saturday’s big show. Enjoy!

Fri 20th August 2010 -

Peaches and crew roll through the wonderful town of Lausanne, Switzerland on their way to the ‘For Noise Festival’, anticipating the very final wheelchair-bound set of the tour!!

A miraculous thing happened in Lausanne – it must have had something to do with the swelling up of powerful psychic energies in that little Swiss valley, or the sheer potency of humanity gathered before that little stage – whatever the reason, Peaches cast off those weighty bandages and walked again; healed!!!

Witnesses described the scene – telling of a shadow that passed across the stage and lifted the bandages from the leg.

Yet not long after the recovery a cruel twist of fate befell The Fake Peaches: leaping from the drum riser (sound familiar?) and not quite getting her footing right, she ended the show in the chair, after suffering serious damage to the ligaments in her right leg.

Doctors say it’ll take another six weeks before she can walk again.

Anyhow, enough preamble, lets see The Final Wheelchair Show!!!

Fresh from a GWAR concert in Berlin on 18th August, with blood-stained skin and hair, Peaches and Sweet Machine boarded the bus for the last run of the wheelchair show!!

Two final dates at the Frequency Festival, Austria and Lausanne Noise Festival, Switzerland brought an incredible 18 months of touring to an end!!!

Before we show you the magical grand finale of the wheelchair show, here’s a little peek behind the scenes of the last days of tour! Hold on for some great live footage!!
