Peaches brings her retro-electroclash sexual sounds back to Toronto for another raunchy romp, with special guest Princess Superstar – Sept 22, 2024 (Toronto)
Avant-garde electronica and sexual fearlessness have made GTA-born, Berlin-based Peaches a musical icon. Her infamous live shows have become legendary for the provocative, no holes barred atmosphere. Whatever can happen, will happen, and then some! She’s returning to do one last show in Toronto at the Phoenix Concert Theatre on September 22, 2024, before the venue closes for good at the beginning of next year. If Peaches wasn’t enough to get your ass shaking, none other than UK rap sensation Princess Superstar was recently added to the bill. Grab your tickets below. What are you waiting for? This is going to be one hell of a banger!
An iconic feminist musician, producer, director, and performance artist, Peaches has spent nearly two decades pushing boundaries and wielding immeasurable influence over mainstream pop culture from outside of its confines, carving a bold, sexually progressive path in her own image that’s opened the door for countless others to follow. She’s collaborated with everyone from Iggy Pop and Daft Punk to Kim Gordon and Major Lazer, had her music featured cultural watermarks like Lost In Translation, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Broad City among others, and seen her work studied at universities around the world.
Peaches has released five critically acclaimed studio albums blending electronic music, hip-hop, and punk rock, while tackling gender politics, sexual identity, ageism, and the patriarchy. As an equally prolific visual artist, Peaches has directed over twenty of her own videos, designed one of the most raw and creative stage shows in popular music, and has appeared at modern art’s most prestigious gatherings, from Art Basel Miami to the Venice Biennale.
On top of it all, she mounted a one-woman production of Jesus Christ Superstar—redubbed Peaches Christ Superstar—which earned international raves, composed and performed the electro-rock opera Peaches Does Herself, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and sang the title role in a production of Monteverdi’s epic 17th-century opera L’Orfeo in Berlin.
It’s all documented beautifully in the new book What Else Is In The Teaches Of Peaches, a collection of Holger Talinski’s photos accompanied by text from Yoko Ono, Elliot Page, and Michael Stipe among others, that follow Peaches onstage and behind the scenes as she conquers new artistic heights.
Her latest album, Rub, is her most audacious and unequivocal work to date, and she continues to tour behind it relentlessly, spreading joy and empowerment around the world as she mixes the profane and the political in the singular way that only Peaches can. She was also the subject of a 2024 documentary, Teaches of Peaches.
Peaches is be performing as part of the The Final Spin at The Phoenix Concert Theatre (310 Sherbourne St, Toronto) on September 22, 2024 support from Indie Sleaze.
