Peaches on Grace Jones and the 'magic lube' that connects us

After more than two decades as an electro-glam-punk provocateuse, Peaches still sashays where few artists do. The theme of her new tour is “prolapse,” which she said “most encapsulates what I feel about what’s going on in the world and what’s going on with our bodies and our communication.” With her latest squelchy, unapologetic album, “No Lube So Rude,” Peaches — born Merrill Nisker in Toronto 59 years ago, and now a longtime Berliner — continues her quest to bring audiences together in louche abandon.

Lube, she explained, is an allegory: “because the world is full of friction. If we had a magic lube that could help us connect — it’s hard because we’re angry and we’re scared, and we have to fight against that. We have to understand that there needs to be revolution, and it needs to be joyful.

And slippery.” Her list of influences and touchstones ranges widely.
