I have included the text of the full press release. I leave it to you good people to discuss its merits, sincerity and effectiveness below. Continue reading »  Dirty, fuzzy Peaches Best known for her larger than life sexual personae Peaches‘ new album, I Feel Cream, is a surprisingly nuanced piece of work. Her singing and songwriting will be a welcome addition to tomorrow’s show at the Wonder Ballroom (128 NE Russell), but have no doubts that Peaches’ in-your-face sexuality will still be in full effect.
