Is there anything lamer than bands playing DJ sets?
You know the scenario: The line up to HighDaisyYeahChellaInABottleDance finally comes out and your favorite band is at the top of the poster in big, bold letters.
You rush to buy tickets for a zillion dollars and just when you’re about to pull out of the driveway with a trunk full of beer and tutus, your friend in the passenger seat scans the fine print and says, “Dude, what do you mean Bloc Party is playing a DJ set?”
DJ sets by everyone from indie quartets to Korn’s Jonathan Davis are popping up everywhere and, nine times out of ten, they’re about as exciting as listening to a stranger absentmindedly flipping through the CD changer on their car stereo.
Then there’s Peaches – the raunchy, gender-bending Berlin-via-Canada electroclash queen who turned heads in 2000 with her gritty breakthrough album, The Teaches of Peaches.
Like the tranny lovechild of John Waters and Alice Cooper, Peaches is now taking the DJ set platform to her own over-sexed extreme with the Peaches DJ Extravaganza – a flamboyant performance art piece incorporating music, bizarre costuming, pyrotechnics, burlesque, and lots of fake boobs.
