Proudly Peacock
Alice Peacock may be many things – a fantastic singer, a superb songwriter, an admirable do-gooder and a frankly gorgeous woman, to name a few of her more obvious qualities – but let's face it: She's no punk.
Her songs and voice instead recall the glory days of pop troubadours like Carole King, with a firm nod in the direction of the folk-rock tradition, especially on her spectacular recent CD, Who I Am.
Still, we have to admit this Chicago-based artist looks beyond fetching in our Debbie Harry Punk shirt. This pic was taken just outside the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood, where she'd just finished performing a stellar set.
With the power of her songs and her forthright, playful onstage demeanor, Alice is capable of rocking pretty much any space, as she's demonstrated repeatedly during her 2007 tour.
The night before her Hotel gig, she regaled a very different audience: a devoted crowd of folk-leaning fans at The Coffee Gallery in the charming southland burg of Alta Dena. During that engagement she was attired in WF's Debbie Harry Berlin Shirt, which offered a wry counterpoint to the rural painted backdrop and picturesquely arrayed bags of coffee beans that surrounded her.
Come to think of it, bringing Worn Free's rock and roll style to the folkie hinterlands? That is kinda punk.
