Synopsis
Sylvie’s days playing bass in dingy venues may have been short-lived, but her feminist
legacy lives on. The only remnants of all-female punk band ‘Toxic Shock’ are their 1981
single ‘Intoxicated’, and the contents of Sylvie’s own archives. But what remains of their
impact is one of Australia’s first sexual assault support centres. Intoxicated is a 5-minute
documentary that shines a light on a microcosm of Melbourne’s iconic 80s sound and the
women who played it.
