FRIDAY night sees the most famous of all half-German, half-Canadian, pink rubber harridans of electro, Peaches, performing at The Forum in Kentish Town.

The beard-wearing, obscenity-obsessed beat-merchant may not be the iconoclastic sexual revolutionary her lyrics purport, but her stripped-down electroclash war of filth is an assault on the senses none the less.

The unapologetic lustful bravado of her debut album of 2001, the Teaches of Peaches, made her music an essential component of the thriving underground electro scene, as well as thrusting (an apt choice of words for this sexual emancipee) her into the upper echelons of Hollywood's music community - leading to her guest on Pink's third album - and then successfully acquiring the services of the visibly immortal Iggy Pop for her subsequent track, Kick It.

With perverted filth the staple for most Peaches records, it is the sexual rebellion and complete lyrical defiance which permeates her music.

The depths of her honesty are on one hand laughable in their openness, while also conveying a dark, brooding desire which is as unsettling and subversive as it is attractive.

Peaches, aka Merrill Nisker, is a schoolboy's dream. Nothing is taboo and everything shocks. Combined with her ever-changing musical approaches, she is a tour de force of underground music, with the sole aim of corrupting the mainstream.

Her latest offering, Impeach my Bush, is, despite its political overtones, more of the same.

Enlisting the help of a load of her famous rock friends, from Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, to former Hole drummer Samantha Maloney, and Joan Jett - one time member of The Runaways - songs like F*ck Or Kill and Tent In Your Pants will leave listeners in little doubt that Peaches is back to her smutty and taste-defying best.

And her current tour sees East Berlin's first princess of "porn-rock" take her on-record antics to a live stage.Having laid herself bare on tape, whether there is anything more with which to shock is yet to be discovered. Nevertheless, expect bumping, grinding, and everything in between.

Peaches performs at the Kentish Town Forum on Friday, October 13. Doors 7pm tickets £14 advance.
