At the dawn of the new millennium, Canadian musician Merrill Nisker unleashed the mighty Peaches onto an unsuspecting world with her soon-to-be iconic album, The Teaches of Peaches. Minds were duly blown. Berlin was the centre of the universe and electroclash was the sound of the clubs. Bi, beautiful, bolshy, and brilliant, Peaches was a musical dynamo that gave a kick up the rear to the boys club of contemporary music.

Twenty-plus years later, this heart-racing documentary travels back to the early days of Peaches and traces the artistic journey of this musical dynamo as the queer feminist electro punk we deserved. Pairing incredible early gig footage with Peaches and her queer crew taking the show on the road today, this is a tale of women in art, queer family, finding your limits, and keeping on keeping on. Come and celebrate a genuine icon with us. Shake yer dix, shake yer tits.
