Peaches - Impeach my Bush

Peaches - Impeach my BushPeaches (a.k.a. Toronto’s Merrill Nisker) is Feist’s potty-mouthed counterpart. Where Feist moved to Paris to become an ultra-cool chanteuse, her former roommate relocated to Berlin and spawned an x-rated brand of electroclash. Here, Peaches gets help from Joan Jett on the pumping “You Love It” and from Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and Feist on the hoser anthem “Give ’er.” Like Carole Pope crossed with Madonna—only dirtier, Peaches leaves the listener in desperate need of a shower.
