'''Merrill Nisker''' (born 11 November 1966), better known by her stage name '''Peaches''', is a Canadian [[electroclash]] musician and producer.
Her songs have been featured in movies such as ''[[Mean Girls]]'', ''[[My Little Eye]]'', and ''[[Lost in Translation]]''. Her music has also been featured on Showtime's [[The L Word]] television series. Peaches performed guest vocals on [[Pink (musician)|Pink's]] album ''[[Try This]]'', on the song "Oh My God".
 
Born in [[Ontario]], Peaches began her musical career in the 1990s as part of a [[folk music|folk]] trio, Mermaid Cafe. In 1995, she established a rock band, the Shit. That year she also released her first solo album, ''Fancypants Hoodlum''. After moving to Berlin, Germany, she was signed to the [[Kitty-Yo]] label and released her second album, ''[[The Teaches of Peaches]]'' (2000).<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en/article/a-completely-biased-ranking-of-the-60-best-canadian-indie-rock-songs-of-the-00s-part-ii/ "A Completely Biased Ranking of the 60 Best Canadian Indie Rock Songs of the 00s Part II"]. ''Vice'', Cam Lindsay 10 April 2017,</ref> Touring as the opening act for bands like [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]] and [[Queens of the Stone Age]], she subsequently released her third album, ''[[Fatherfucker]]'' (2003).
Her latest album, ''Fatherfucker'' is a comment on feminine sexuality in pop culture. Some say her songs are meant to shock and confuse the listener. Songs like ''Shake Yer Dix'' and ''Stuff Me Up'' contain lyrics typical of her sexually explicit writing.
 
Peaches' songs have been featured in films such as ''[[Mean Girls]]'', ''[[Waiting... (film)|Waiting...]]'', ''[[Jackass Number Two]]'', ''[[My Little Eye]]'', ''[[Drive Angry]]'', and ''[[Lost in Translation (film)|Lost in Translation]]''. Her music has also been featured on television shows such as ''[[Orphan Black]]'', ''[[Lost Girl]]'', ''[[The L Word]]'', ''[[South Park]]'', ''[[Skam (TV series)|Skam]]'', ''[[The Handmaid's Tale (TV series)|The Handmaid's Tale]]'', ''[[30 Rock]]'', ''[[True Blood]]'', [[Fresh Meat (TV series)|''Fresh Meat'']], ''[[Full Frontal with Samantha Bee]]'', ''[[The Boys (TV series)|The Boys]]'', ''[[Sex Education (TV series)|Sex Education]]'', and ''[[Letterkenny (TV series)|Letterkenny]]'', and has been used for the promotion of ''[[Dirt (TV series)|Dirt]]''. Peaches has performed guest vocals on several songs, including "Oh My God" from [[Pink (singer)|Pink's]] album ''[[Try This]]'', "[[We Don't Play Guitars]]" from [[Chicks on Speed]]'s album ''[[99 Cents (Chicks on Speed album)|99 Cents]]'', "My Girls" from [[Christina Aguilera]]'s 2010 album ''[[Bionic (Christina Aguilera album)|Bionic]]'' (produced by — and co-written with — [[Le Tigre]]), and "Scare Me" from [[Major Lazer]]'s 2013 album ''[[Free the Universe]]'' (also featuring Timberlee).

=== 1990–1999: Mermaid Cafe, ''Fancypants Hoodlum'', The Shit ===
[[de:Peaches]]
During the early 1990s, Nisker was part of folk trio Mermaid Cafe. The name was taken from the [[Joni Mitchell]] song "[[Carey (song)|Carey]]". She later released her first solo album, ''Fancypants Hoodlum'', under the name Merrill Nisker in 1995, and subsequently developed the style and persona known as Peaches. In 1995, Peaches was in The Shit - a noisy four-piece combo with [[Chilly Gonzales]] (a.k.a. Jason Beck), bassist Sticky Henderson (later of [[Weeping Tile (band)|Weeping Tile]] and Music Maul), and Dominique Salole (a.k.a. [[Mocky]]). Their absurd, highly sexual rock music was a harbinger for what Nisker would become, as it was during this time that she adopted the Peaches name. The Peaches moniker was taken from the [[Nina Simone]] song "[[Four Women (song)|Four Women]]" where Simone screams at the end, "My name is Peaches!"<ref>{{cite web |url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/profane_peaches |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120714161128/http://exclaim.ca/Features/OnTheCover/profane_peaches |archive-date=14 July 2012 |title=Exclaim!

=== 2000–2002: ''The Teaches of Peaches'' ===
After creating a six-track EP, ''Lovertits'', Peaches moved to Berlin, Germany. While visiting her old friend Jason Beck, who was enjoying modest European success as Chilly Gonzales in his new home base of Berlin, Peaches landed a one-night gig. On the merits of that show alone, Berlin's [[Kitty-Yo]] label signed her on the spot. The label offered her the chance to record a new album, ''[[The Teaches of Peaches]]'', back home in Toronto, and the already-completed ''Lovertits'' EP was released in the summer of 2000. The full-length album ''The Teaches of Peaches'' was released that fall.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.enotes.com/contemporary-musicians/peaches-biography| title= Peaches Biography: Contemporary Musicians| publisher= Enotes.com| access-date= 9 June 2010}}</ref> The album contains her [[signature song]] "[[Fuck the Pain Away]]".<ref>{{cite news |last=Sullivan |first=Caroline |date=24 July 2006 |title=Filth and fury |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2006/jul/24/electronicmusic.urban |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |page=23 |access-date=25 October 2014 }}</ref>
 
Peaches appeared on the British TV show ''[[Top of the Pops]]'', but her performance was deemed too racy to be aired.<ref name="SPIN">{{cite magazine | first= William V. | last= Meter | date= 23 June 2003 | url= https://www.spin.com/2003/06/peaches-shes-very-kinky-girl/ | title= Peaches: She's a Very Kinky Girl | magazine= [[Spin (magazine)|SPIN]]| accessdate= 26 May 2010}}</ref>
 
Nisker signed a European contract with [[Sony Music Entertainment|Sony]] following the release of ''[[The Teaches of Peaches]]''. She later made a big-budget video for the song "[[Set It Off (Peaches song)|Set It Off]]", in which she sat in a locker room as her pubic and armpit hair grew to [[Rapunzel]] length. Sony subsequently dropped her. "Now they want their money back," Peaches said.<ref name="SPIN" />
 
In 2001, Nisker's 34AA bust was one of the first female busts cast by famous 1960s groupie [[Cynthia Plaster Caster]], who was better known for making molds of male rockers' genitalia.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.cynthiaplastercaster.com/html/list.html |title=Cynthia Plaster Caster |publisher=Cynthia Plaster Caster |access-date=9 June 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.cynthiapcaster.org/casts/_breasts/breasts_peaches_page/peaches_page.htm |title=Cynthia P Caster | website= cynthiapcaster.org |publisher=Cynthia P Caster Foundation |access-date=22 January 2011}}</ref>
 
In 2002, Peaches appeared in "Hideous Man", a short film directed by [[John Malkovich]]. The short was created as a showcase for clothing designed by [[Bella Freud]] and featured the poetry of [[Gary Sinise]].<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.bellafreud.co.uk/films/hideous-man-2/ |title=Hideous Man |website= Bellafreud.co.uk |access-date=21 January 2011}}</ref>
 
=== 2003–2005: ''Fatherfucker'' ===
In 2003, Peaches released her second album ''[[Fatherfucker]]'' on [[XL Recordings|XL]]/[[Kitty-Yo]] after years of touring and opening for artists like [[Marilyn Manson]] and [[Queens of the Stone Age]]. She once again wrote and programmed all of the album's music herself. The single "[[Kick It (Peaches song)|Kick It]]", which features [[Iggy Pop]], was described by Peaches to ''Rolling Stone'' as "more about rock 'n' roll than sex."<ref>{{cite web| url= https://www.nme.com/news/peaches/14090 |title=Pop Show! |publisher= | website= NME.com |date=17 April 2003 |access-date=9 June 2010}}</ref>
 
For her album ''Fatherfucker'', Peaches was nominated in the "Outstanding Music Artist" category for the [[15th GLAAD Media Awards]] along with [[Rufus Wainwright]], [[Meshell Ndegeocello]], [[Junior Senior]], and [[Bitch and Animal]], but lost to Wainwright.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://archive.glaad.org/publications/archive_detail.php?id=3549 |title= Nominees for the 15th Annual GLAAD Media Awards |publisher=GLAAD Publication Archives |access-date=22 January 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726111105/http://archive.glaad.org/publications/archive_detail.php?id=3549 |archive-date=26 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Peaches has been noted for her stage costumes and flamboyant sense of style. Her looks are often both nostalgic and futuristic; aggressive and glamorous; and push the limits of gender identity. Peaches and her band Sweet Machine wear costumes from a variety of designers but most notably she works closely with stylist/designer Vaughan Alexander, celebrity hairstylist Charlie Le Mindu, and young American fashion designer, John Renaud.
 
In 2010, Peaches and backing band Sweet Machine once again toured Australia performing at the sold out [[Big Day Out]] (BDO) festivals and at a series of sideshows. Peaches was supported on this tour by [[Shunda K]] who performed her collaboration "Billionaire" at BDO festivals and at the sideshows,<ref name="Shunda K" /> and was also the opening act at the sideshows along with [[Evil Beaver]] in Melbourne.{{citation needed|date=June 2012}}

In March 2010, the copyright owners of the musical ''[[Jesus Christ Superstar]]'' denied Peaches permission to perform her one-woman version that she was planning to stage in Berlin. After receiving the attention of several media outlets, Peaches successfully negotiated with those rights-holders, and the musical was performed on 25–27 March at Berlin's [[Hebbel am Ufer|HAU1]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/news/38163-news-in-brief-the-strokes-peaches-dr-dog-ether-festival/ |title=News in Brief: The Strokes, Peaches, Dr. Dog, Ether Festival |website=Pitchfork |date=11 March 2010 |access-date=9 June 2010}}</ref> Gonzales accompanied Peaches on piano.<ref>{{cite web |author=Veronica |url=http://www.peachesrocks.com/site/2010/03/1382/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100329134025/http://www.peachesrocks.com/site/2010/03/1382/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=29 March 2010 |title=Peaches Christ Superstar |publisher=Peachesrocks.com |date=27 March 2010 |access-date=9 June 2010 }}</ref> [[Travis Jeppesen]] stated in his review for ''[[Artforum]]'', "Not only did Peaches set it off, she managed to surprise us all by showing off an expansive vocal range, a musician's natural sensitivity to the dynamics of Andrew Lloyd Webber's score, and an emotive prowess that is rarely if ever displayed in her own, less holy, music."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://artforum.com/diary/id=25241 |title=Teaches of Peaches |magazine=Artforum |access-date=22 January 2011}}</ref>

=== 2012: New music and ''Peaches Does Herself'' ===
It was announced in 2012 that a semi-biographical musical/concert film would be premièred at the Toronto Film Festival, utilising 22 songs from Peaches' back catalog and backed by her band the Sweet Machine.
 
''Peaches Does Herself'' premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on 13 September 2012.
 
On 2 October 2012, Peaches released her new single "Burst!" as a digital single backed with several remixes.
 
=== 2015–2021: ''What Else Is in the Teaches of Peaches'' and ''Rub'' ===
[[File:Peaches (27888176081).jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Peaches performing in 2016]]
Photographer Holger Talinski collaborated with Peaches on a book of photographs, ''What Else Is in the Teaches of Peaches'', released on 2 June 2015. The book, published by Akashic Books, also includes text written by Peaches, [[R.E.M.]] lead singer [[Michael Stipe]], artist and singer [[Yoko Ono]] and actor [[Elliot Page]].
 
Peaches' sixth studio album, ''Rub'', was released 25 September 2015. It was produced by [[Vice Cooler]] with Peaches in her Los Angeles garage. In June 2015 it was announced to contain guest vocal appearances by [[Kim Gordon]], [[Feist (singer)|Feist]], and [[Simonne Jones]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/06/peaches-teams-with-feist-and-kim-gordon-for-new-album-rub/|title=Peaches teams with Feist and Kim Gordon for new album, Rub|date=23 June 2015|access-date=20 July 2015}}</ref>
 
An unused track from the ''Rub'' sessions titled "Bodyline" was released by [[Adult Swim]] on 20 July 2015. The Vice Cooler-produced track features [[Nick Zinner]] on guitar and was described as "a heavy, chugging guitar line over which Peaches half raps, half sings a high-octane space jam."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/07/peaches-and-yeah-yeah-yeahs-nick-zinner-join-forces-for-bodyline-listen/|title=Peaches and Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner join forces for "Bodyline" — listen|date=20 July 2015|access-date=20 July 2015}}</ref> In May 2016, Peaches appeared in a fourth-season episode of the Canadian TV series ''[[Orphan Black]]'' as herself, performing "Bodyline" in a club.

In February 2019, Peaches made her debut with the [[Staatstheater Stuttgart]], co-directing and performing as Anna I in [[Kurt Weill]]'s/[[Bertolt Brecht]]'s ''[[The Seven Deadly Sins (ballet chanté)|Die sieben Todsünden]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/buehne-und-konzert/todsuenden-premiere-in-stuttgart-peaches-und-brecht-16020971.html|access-date=21 January 2023|title=Sängerin Peaches inszeniert Brecht|date=2 February 2019|newspaper=[[Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung]]|language=de}}</ref>
 
=== 2022: Documentaries and upcoming seventh studio album ===
In 2022, Peaches went on tour to mark the 20th anniversary of ''[[The Teaches of Peaches]]''. She is currently working on her seventh studio album.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/peaches-announces-20th-anniversary-tour-for-the-teaches-of-peaches-3150564|title=Peaches announces 20th anniversary tour for 'The Teaches Of Peaches'|website=nme.com|date=31 January 2022 |access-date=3 February 2022}}</ref> Peaches' song "Boys Wanna Be Her" is featured in the 2022 film ''[[The 355]]'' starring [[Jessica Chastain]] and [[Diane Kruger]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://imdb.com/title/tt8356942/soundtrack/?ref_=tt_trv_snd|title=The 355 (2022) Soundtracks|website=imdb.com |access-date=30 July 2022}}</ref>
 
The 2022 tour was profiled in the documentary film ''[[Teaches of Peaches]]'', which premiered at the [[74th Berlin International Film Festival]].<ref>Savina Petkova, [https://cineuropa.org/en/newsdetail/457596/ "Review: Teaches of Peaches"].

It’s more of a painting, a portrait. Marie gets excited about an artist and then goes her own way."<ref>Ben Croll, [https://variety.com/2024/film/global/peaches-marie-losier-venice-peaches-goes-bananas-1236126708/ "Pop Icon Peaches and Filmmaker Marie Losier Decentralize Cool With Venice Doc ‘Peaches Goes Bananas’"].

=== 2025: Featured Artist, ''In the Garden'' ===
In March 2025, it was announced that Peaches is featured on ''In the Garden'', a concept album and musical by the artist [[Boyfriend (musician)|Boyfriend]] set for release on May 09, 2025. The album reimagines the story of Adam and Eve but through Eve's lens. The project features Boyfriend as Eve alongside [[Billy Porter]] (narrator), [[Jake Shears]] (Adam), [[Big Freedia]] (God), and Peaches (Serpent).<ref>{{cite news|last1=Sharpe|first1=Josh|title=Boyfriend Sets New Concept Album 'In the Garden' Feat.

== Personal life ==
Peaches is bisexual.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://attitude.co.uk/article/peaches-speaks-to-attitude-i-like-women-i-like-men-i-like-combinations/8160/| title=Peaches speaks to Attitude: 'I like women, I like men, I like combinations'| date=20 September 2015| website= Attitude.co.uk}}</ref>
 
Peaches lists [[John Waters]], [[Cindy Sherman]], [[Paul McCarthy]] and the films ''[[Tron]]'', ''[[Grease (film)|Grease]]'', ''[[Liquid Sky]]'' and ''[[Phantom of the Paradise]]'' as inspiration for the visuals in her live shows.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lifelounge.com/music/interview/interview-with-peaches.aspx |title=Interview with Peaches |publisher=Lifelounge |date=12 February 2010 |access-date=12 March 2010}}</ref>
 
== Art ==
Peaches opened her first institutional solo art exhibition "Whose Jizz Is This?" at the {{interlanguage link|Kunstverein in Hamburg|de}} on 10 August 2019 (through 20 October 2019). Taking a bold and unexpected approach to the topics of sex, feminism, queerness, gender, and new millennium politics, Peaches calls her WJIT presentation "a deconstructed musical in 14 scenes". At the heart of this presentation are the "Fleshies", who have renamed themselves as such to rewrite their narrative, break away from humans and human interactions, do away with words like "sex toys" and "masturbators" in a quest to find sexual equality amongst themselves.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.kunstverein.de/ausstellungen/peaches|title=Peaches – Whose Jizz Is This?|website=Kunstverein.de|access-date=21 January 2023}}</ref>
 
== Themes ==
[[Gender identity]] is one theme of Peaches' music, often playing with traditional notions of [[gender role]]s representation. Her lyrics and live shows consciously [[Genderfuck|blur]] the [[Gender binary|distinction]] between male and female; for example, she appears on the cover of her album ''[[Fatherfucker]]'' with a full beard. When asked if she had chosen the title for shock value, she commented:
 
{{blockquote|Motherfucker's so over. You call everybody a motherfucker – you call your mother a motherfucker. It's a pretty extreme and intense word. Instead of shying away from that, I thought I'd bring the fact that we're using the word motherfucker in a really mainstream way to the fore.<ref>{{cite news

[[Ageing|Age]] has been another theme of Peaches' music in recent years. The lyrics from several songs from her 2009 album ''[[I Feel Cream]]'' tackle the issue of age, including "Trick or Treat" ("you lick my crow's feet"), "Show Stopper" ("Never mind my age, it's like we're breaking out of a cage") and "Mommy Complex". Peaches has criticized [[ageism]] directed against her,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.princesssuperstar.com/press/features/urb_feat03.shtml |title=Urb Feature 2003 (with Peaches) |publisher=Princess Superstar |access-date=9 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060719203204/http://www.princesssuperstar.com/press/features/urb_feat03.shtml |archive-date=19 July 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref> telling the ''[[New York Daily News]]'' that "I'm going to make aging cool."<ref>{{cite web|author=Jim Farber |url=https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music-arts/rock-star-peaches-promises-aging-cool-article-1.410949 |title=Rock star Peaches promises to make aging cool |work=[[New York Daily News|Daily News]]|___location=New York|date=14 May 2009 |access-date=27 December 2021}}</ref>
 
Nisker has criticized the "censorship" of pro-Palestinian progressive Jews in Germany. She believes that many Germans "can't separate Israeli politics from Jewish feelings" and that diverse Jewish opinions on the [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]] are not "honored" in Germany, telling ''The New York Times'' that "For any progressive Jewish person who is thinking about what is going on, and understanding the history of what is going on, to be called antisemitic — by ''Germans'' — is ridiculous. Never did I think in 2024 that I would be thinking about that."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Farago |first1=Jason |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/06/arts/design/berlin-israel-gaza-art-scene.html |title=Berlin Was a Beacon of Artistic Freedom.

According to one online reviewer at [[IMDb]]: <blockquote>"This filmed version of Peaches' epic stage performance in Berlin tells the loosely biographical tale of her rise to stardom and a romance that ends in heartbreak.
