Impeach My Bush is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer Peaches, released on July 7, 2006 by XL Recordings. The album includes guest appearances by Joan Jett, Beth Ditto, Josh Homme, Samantha Maloney, Mocky and her one-time roommate Feist.
Early sessions of Impeach My Bush were recorded at Peaches' Berlin studio with Eagles of Death Metal singer Jesse "The Devil" Hughes. She finished recording the album with producers Mickey Petralia and Greg Kurstin at Jeff Porcaro's (Toto) self-built studio in Los Angeles.
The album draws from glam rock, punk, and electro. Lyrically, Impeach My Bush continues the explicit references, double entendres, and gender politics of Peaches' two previous albums. "Two Guys (For Every Girl)" deals with threesomes while "Rock the Shocker" centers on foreplay. "Stick It to the Pimp" is a backlash against hip hop chauvinism.
Peaches formed the Herms (short for hermaphrodites) in spring 2006 as her live backing band. Herms members included Samantha Maloney (Hole),JD Samson (Le Tigre), and Radio Sloan. "Herms" is a reference to the 1970s duo Peaches & Herb and blending of words her and him. Peaches and Herms were the opening act for Nine Inch Nails and Bauhaus during the second half of their 2006 summer US tour. Peaches and Herms also toured as part of the Australian festival Big Day Out and the 2007 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
