Iconoclastic alt-queer rocker Peaches is at the center of this propulsive and entertaining documentary. Mixing archival footage, interviews with new and long-time collaborators, and behind-the-scenes rehearsals from the 20th-anniversary concert tour for the pioneering album Teaches of Peaches, this film retains—and revels in—the avant-garde edge of this one-of-a-kind musician. Featuring electric concert footage alongside candid and funny testimonials, Teaches of Peaches shows the evolution of a vital artist.
Streaming for this title is only available in NY/NJ/CT.
