Fatherfucker

Peaches penned and programmed all the music for Fatherfucker herself. She wrote "Kick It" specifically for Iggy Pop, and the two teamed up in Miami in March 2003 to record it. Peaches told Rolling Stone, "The song is more about rock 'n' roll than sex."{{cite web |url=https://www.nme.com/news/peaches/14090 |title=Pop show! |work=NME |date=April 17, 2003 |accessdate=July 26, 2010}}

Musically, Fatherfucker is more rock-oriented than The Teaches of Peaches. "I Don't Give A..." samples the Joan Jett song "Bad Reputation" as Peaches yells, "I don't give a fuck!" and "I don't give a shit!" during the song.

To promote Fatherfucker, Peaches toured as the opening act on Marilyn Manson's 2003 European tour.{{cite web |url=https://www.nme.com/news/peaches/15201 |title=Peaches joins the Manson family |work=NME |date=October 2, 2003 |accessdate=July 26, 2010}} Peaches also toured as part of the 2004 State of Exit festival in Novi Sad, Serbia.{{cite web |last=Murison |first=Krissi |url=https://www.nme.com/reviews/peaches/7485 |title=State Of EXIT festival : Serbia Novi Sad |work=NME |date=August 3, 2004 |accessdate=July 27, 2010}} "Operate" is played during the Halloween house party scene in the 2004 film Mean Girls.{{cite web |last=Stern |first=Bradley |url=http://www.muumuse.com/2014/04/10-years-later-the-mean-girls-soundtrack-is-still-pretty-fetch-too.html/ |title=10 Years Later, The 'Mean Girls' Soundtrack Is Still Pretty Fetch Too |publisher=MuuMuse |date=April 30, 2014 |accessdate=September 29, 2016}} On May 8, 2005, Peaches performed the song "I U She" in an episode of season two of The L Word, titled "L'Chaim".{{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1558470/ |title=Peaches – Filmography |publisher=IMDb |accessdate=July 26, 2010}}
