Peaches (artist)

Merrill Nisker (born 1968 in Toronto), better known as Peaches, is a female electroclash artist. Her songs are mainly concerned with sex. She lives and works in Berlin. She plays almost all the instruments for her songs, programs her own electronic beats, and produces her records.

Her songs have been featured in movies such as Mean Girls, My Little Eye, and Lost in Translation. Peaches also performed guest vocals on Pink's album Try This, on the song "Oh My God".

Fatherfucker is an astounding comment on feminine sexuality in pop culture. Her songs continually shock and confuse the listener, but are loaded with catchy beats and interesting loops. Songs like Shake Yer Dix and Stuff Me Up are not just a call to get laid. They are accurate and poignant commentary on sex and gender roles today.
