NME's Dildo Shock Surprises Peaches

NME fans attending last week's Peaches' gig at Brixton Academy squealed with delight when the girls on her video projection screen began shaking strap-on dildos, causing the electro-punk princess some consternation, she told Skrufff this week.

"I find it odd that people find the dildos so shocking," Peaches admitted.

"The general audience reactions are always great when it's my (headlining) show but if I am the opener then people have really strong extreme reactions right away."

Peaches had been performing to a crowd of late-teen student types drawn to see hugely over-rated punk-pop hopefuls The Distillers, and similarly scandalised the kids with her relatively restrained stripper-style costume changes and routines, though she denied she'd been ordered to water down her routine.

"I wasn't told anything beforehand and usually if I am told that then I make sure to rock harder," she said.

"And, actually I think you are focusing on my outfits too much."
