Berlin-based, Toronto-born pansexual Peaches may soon be coming to a town near you.

Peaches will be hitting cities across the US and Europe over the next couple months.

Xtra caught her one-off show at Toronto’s Drake Hotel while she was in town for the Toronto International Film Festival, where her new film, Peaches Does Herself, made its world premiere. Gender benders, naked dancers, guitar riffs and luscious lesbians filled the west-end hotspot for her performance.

Don’t worry if you didn’t catch the show: Xtra recorded exclusive video coverage of Peaches performing “Boys Wanna Be Her.”

Peaches’ albums include I Feel Cream (2009), Impeach My Bush (2006) and Fatherfucker (2003).
