Canadian recording artist Peaches (aka Merrill Nisker) dabbled in a wide variety of musical styles including folk, avant jazz and noise rock before finding her niche as dirty-mouthed electro provocateur. Her 2000 debut album 'The Teaches of Peaches' featured a barrage of filthy, tongue-in-cheek raps over a mix of throbbing disco beats and corrosive rock guitar that quickly found an audience in adventurous dance clubs.Peaches quickly became the poster girl for the emerging electro-clash movement with her confrontational and libidinous stage shows and catchy anthems (the titles of which are mostly unprintable on a family Web site). The songwriter brings her current live backing band Sweet Machine and songs from her latest album ‘I Feel Cream’ featuring work by such cutting edge production teams as Simian Mobile Disco, Soulwax, Digitalism and Drums of Death. Philly-based rapper/vocalist Amanda Blank and local dance/hip-hop parody act Wallpaper open the show.Peaches Friday, Nov. 27, 9 p.m. $25-$27 Regency Ballroom
