Peaches
The film Peaches Does Herself captures the raunchy Toronto dance rock superstar’s Berlin cabaret show – an origin story, career retrospective and transgressive odyssey into her psyche all rolled into one. It screens as part of the Inside Out Film Festival. At the after-party, the woman of the hour takes over Wrongbar’s decks alongside Austra’s Katie Stelmanis, Dentata’s Dana Dentata and a slew of go-go dancers who just might make you blush.
Friday (May 24), 10 pm, Wrongbar (1279 Queen West). $14, $8 with a Peaches Does Herself ticket stub. 416-516-8677.
