28 September Soho Theatre | 21 Dean Street, W1D 3NE

Chilly Gonzales is an interesting dude. A friend of Peaches, the lumbering Canadian came to the fore as lumbering, cocky, mischievous rapper during the first wave of Electroclash: he was soon scene royalty and even his performing in a bright pink safari suit was somehow construed to be cool. Evidently as beguiling to journalists as his audience, the music press cooed over his every move, and he became something of a cult star. After taking a sudden swerve and reinventing himself as a crooning, introspective pianist, Chilly Gonzales now returns to London for an intimate performance at the Soho Theatre. He’s turned aging gracefully into an art form – we’re betting the pink suit will stay in the wardrobe.
