Recently, at the Berlin’s Uber Eats Music Hall, where Garbage headlined the event, Shirley Manson invited Peaches up on stage where the two artists performed a unique mash up medley of the band’s 1998 hit “Push It” and Peaches 2000 hit “Fuck The Pain Away.” As the band was prepared to begin their performance, Manson gave a warm introduction to Peaches: “She’s somebody very, very special, doing everything on her own terms and ripping up the rules of the fucking nonsense that preceded her appearance on the music scene.” From there, the two launched into “Push It” and halfway through, they transitioned Peaches’ song “Fuck The Pain Away” before combining the two tracks as they closed the performance.
As reported in article from Stereogum, the two artists have previously performed together at New York music festival “Amsterjam” in 2005. At the time, mash-ups of different artists across music genres would come together and combine their styles to form new song were quite popular. The dual performance between Garbage and Peaches, was considered to be a highlight for fans, and this most recent performance is a callback to that original duet.
