Imagine a world where a seemingly sleepy, old-person riddled little seaside town in Sussex turns out to be a hot spot for the world’s primary musical renegades and legends. This Saturday, Peaches joins the list of gigs that already includes Blur and will soon include Suede, Julian Marley and OMD at Eastbourne’s refurbished Winter Gardens.

As part of a intricate partnership that includes Charleston and the Turner Prize-hosting Towner Galllery and the De La Warr Pavillion team, the historical venue in the heart of the cultural quarter will host the legendary hero of feminist-queer-techno-house-punk that is the international and multi-platform artist and musician, Peaches.

If you don’t know her work, then get ready for a blast of visual and sonic acidity that is suprisingly offensive and delightful at the same time. Peaches rose to fame in the early 2000s, and is best known for her album ‘Teaches Of Peaches’ and the track ‘Fuck The Pain Away’. But review the back catalogue of her work, or ask fans, and you’ll realise there is so much more depth than that. Her work is prolific, including SOURCE’s own favourite, but NSFW, Billionaire. She’s able to bring the underground spirit overground and walks a delicate line between the absurd and the grotesque, the sweet and the filthy, while never missing an opportunity to provoke meaningful dialogue through her work.

Provocative? Yes. Entertaining? Certainly. Popular? We shall see. Peaches gigs have spanned locations from the intimate to the arenas. What will this vintage Sussex situation make of the intense, vibrant and downright decadent performance we can expect to see on Saturday night? Why not grab one of the remaining tickets and get into the art-wave yourself.
