CONCERT REVIEW: Peaches @ TLA, 11/13

There were a lot of tits and ass at the Peaches show. But what else would you expect from the illustrious queen of raunch? Yeah, at 43 she may be sporting a bit of a belly pooch but that didn't keep her from gyrating, humping and stroking anything in sight during her nearly two-hour show. It only made it better.

Opening was Philly artist Amanda Blank, who A.D. Amorosi gave the cover treatment to back in July, who was on fire in a tiny, one-piece bathing suit with holes in all the right places. She performed her hit "Might Like You Better," but her most explosive performance was a rad mash-up of L.L. Cool J's 'I Need Love' and Santogold's 'I'm A Lady.'

Peaches hit the stage hypnotizing the audience with her 'pussy light' (her words), which was situated snuggly in her crotch-al region. She sang most of her best songs, including 'Set it Off,' 'Shake Your Dix' and 'Tombstone.' The stand-out moment, though, was a futuristic laser light instrument, which shot up from the ground like green, luminescent harp strings. She and her band created sound by strumming their hands through the beams. It was crazy cool.

Contrary to shallower, ageist previews of Peaches' this week in another local weekly, she was in true form and pumped all night long. She only stopped long enough to take a swig from a bottle of champagne, which she then spewed all over the audience.

When it came time for an encore she did not one, but two. The only complaint I have is that she didn't play to the entire audience. There's no sense in hatin' on a lady because she's had a few more birthdays than the rest of us. If you got it, you got it and Friday night Peaches proved she has all that and a little more. Do your thang, sister.
