Peaches with Iggy Pop
Kick It

Kitty-Yo/XL

WE SAY

We saw this performed at Sankey's Soap club during In The City. Iggy was on pre-recorded VT, yet there was an extraordinary electricity between the two of them and it was a highlight of one of the best gigs we've seen this year. Kick It has a great lyric, including a reference to Peaches' classic breakthrough track F-ck The Pain Away, and is probably her most mass-appeal track to date. But she remains the only artist we can think of who is staggeringly cool without being remotely boring or affected.
