"But then, out came Peaches...and suddenly everything turned awesome. The Queen of Nasty rocked out to over twenty four tracks (!), armed with a wealth of tricks up her hairy sleeves for the night's events: Among them, climbing up into the balcony to scream out a slightly rockier rendition of my personal favorite, "Operate," a green laser beam shot into the disco ball hanging above for "More," hairy back-up dancers for "Talk To Me," six or seven costume changes between songs, and a self-proclaimed blinking "pussy light" for the final few numbers including "Fuck The Pain Away.""

Not only did two of electroclash's larger acts both re-emerge with new albums, big tours, and a bunch of NYC shows this month. They both employed topless opening acts that fall into the NSFW category. Fischerspooner had No Bra. Peaches, who did not have Drums of Death at the Webster Hall show because he got stuck at the airport, had The Naked Cowgirl doing an act before she played. More pictures from the show below...

DOWNLOAD: Drums of Death "Peaches" mixtape (feat. "I Feel Cream") (MP3)

Singer/electronic artist Peaches is releasing a new album. I Feel Cream is her first since 2006's Impeach My Bush. It's out Tuesday, May 5th on XL Recordings.

Peaches will support the record in May/June with a tour through Europe and the US that includes a stop at Webster Hall on Saturday, May 15. Tickets for that NYC show go on sale Wednesday, 3/11, at noon.

Drums of Death, who will be supporting Peaches on tour and contributed to her forthcoming record, remixed a bunch of Peaches songs and made a mixtape that includes the new track "I Feel Cream". The artist (artists?) describes it as "nearly 40mins...a nasty stew of screwed-up clunk beats, bass noise, electro freakbeat and more unlicensed samples than you can shake your copyright stick at." Download the MP3 above.

Earlier this year, Peaches covered The Stooges' "Search and Destroy" on the War Child:Heroes comp. She previously collaborated with Iggy Pop of The Stooges on "Kick It" on her 2003 album Fatherfucker (video below).

In related news, fellow "Electroclash" act Fischerspooner is on touring the US this May, hitting Music Hall of Williamsburg and Webster Hall on May 7th and 8th. Tickets for those shows went on sale last week.
