Icons: Peaches in Conversation

Peaches spent 25 years making music that clubs played and daytime radio would not touch, and she almost never does a talk. Merrill Nisker recorded 'The Teaches of Peaches' in 2000 on a Roland drum machine and became a reference point for a generation of electronic and queer performers who followed. MCA Denver bills this appearance as a discussion of her work across music, performance, gender, sexuality, art, and activism.

This is the Icons series, so the format is conversation rather than a set, which is the rarer thing to catch. It also means the value is in what she says about a body of work that is more often written about than explained by the person who made it.
