Unisex Europe

If there's anything I wouldn't like for us to become Europe, it's most certainly because we'd have to give up (the buying habit of) all the pirate novelties that adorn the shelves of my apartment.

Europe still has a lot to avoid (just remember the cynicism of 1999, or this year's inconvenience, when the Dutch embassy did not give visas to the OP group for already contracted concerts). But now is not the time or place to write about that, let's get back to piracy.

Not a day goes by without something new appearing in my favorite disc store (one of the only good ones in NS, so much for autonomy), fresh from the cutter of some cyber maniac. It is clear to everyone that people who have a slightly wider range of understanding of musical trends have also joined this type of business, so the story of the greatest hits being recorded in Bulgaria is no longer current. With that, the Bulgarians can breathe a sigh of relief, the Serbs (again!.., oh no...) took matters into their own hands. Bulgarians have lifted the burden of collective guilt, and our legalism (a domesticated term for intractable problems, force majeure, etc.) within the framework of piracy (everything, not only music) guarantees us peaceful dreams - WE WILL NEVER BECOME EUROPE.

Behind the name PEACHES stands one girl (Merrill Nisker) and a Roland groove box MC505. For the uninitiated, a groove box is an instrument that has everything in it (rhythms, guitars, basses, effects, samples, i.e. one big database of musical data), you just need to know what you want.

PEACHES clearly know what they want, a combination of modest music with not modest lyrics and we get something that every admirer of freedom of spirit is happy to bow down to.

Titles of songs like Fuck The Pain Away, Diddle My Skittle or Suck And Let Go restore hope for the involvement of women in music. Even if it was in this (now trendy) way. Sexuality in the service of art can be a great refreshment, especially if the ambitions of equality or feminism are not hidden behind it all.

The brutality of the textual themes is, for sure, the people from the record company Teenage USA rec. (publishers of a very interesting profile) motivated for an additional form of exploitation of the girl from Toronto, so that we can even see her music video for the song Lovertits on some of our TV channels (B92). In a small full presentation, PEACHES (ie Merrill Nisker) is tied to work on 8-millimeter film, which was clearly shown in the video with two (pedophile) girls on a bicycle.

All in all, PEACHES is not a discovery (it was released in 2000) that will change a lot in the music world, but it has enough positive energy and freedom, and therefore PEACHES is very necessary for each of us.
