‘Teaches of Peaches’ with special guest Philipp Fussenegger

Happy New Year! With our first show for 2025, we took a look at ‘Teaches of Peaches’ which is streaming now on DocPlay. This frenetic and audacious film celebrates the world of gender-punk icon Peaches in this Teddy Award–winning documentary that screened at MIFF and MQFF in 2024. Following the 20th anniversary tour of her album ‘The Teaches of Peaches’, this film features stunning live performances from that tour and delves into her beginnings with archive footage plus interviews from Feist, Chilly Gonzales and Shirley Manson, which celebrate Peaches’ impact in music and pop culture. Co-directed by Judy Landkammer and Phillip Fussenegger, we had a chance to speak with Philipp during his skiing holiday in Austria to find out more about how they worked their way into Peaches world and got her to tell her incredible story in her own words plus we give our full review on this wild and wonderful music documentary too.

We also celebrated the incredible BRAT year that Charli XCX had in 2024 by revisiting an interview from May 2022 with Bradley Bell and Pablo Jones-Soler a.k.a. Bradley & Pablo, who co-directed the ‘Charli XCX: Alone Together’ documentary. The film chronicles the recording of Charli’s album ‘How I’m Feeling Now’, which she decided to record during lockdown in 40 days. Described as a “love letter between Charli and her fans’ (many of whom are LGBTQIA+), it’s an insight into her world, her creative process and a time capsule on what went on during the COVID pandemic lockdown in 2020.
