BUDDIE
Buddie is a grunge-pop band from “Vancouver”. Their songs pair fuzzed-out guitars and sticky melodies with lyrics about precarity, urban life, and the strange beauty of things left behind. Drawing from power pop, alternative rock, and shoegaze, Buddie turns bright melodies into something louder, heavier, and more frayed at the edges.

WACK
It's clear Wack, a Neo-Dance Psychedelia band from Vancouver, BC, has set their focus on the dance floor. Their core 4 members: Rodo, Michael, Marie and Pasang, chase that infectious groove usually only found at underground raves and after-hours clubs. Taking inspiration from club DJs, they've crafted their live set to transition seamlessly between tracks while also paying homage to: Talking Heads, LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture. Bundle that with the diverse backgrounds of Wack’s members: Nepal, Brazil, Mexico, Indigenous Canada, Ukraine, and Canada, and you get a unique perspective on dance music. With songs that ensure the audience is moving - Wack's live shows are an infectious, high-energy experience that will leave you sweaty and fulfilled :)

Stephen Hamm Theramin Man
Stephen Hamm, a legendary figure in Vancouver’s music and arts scene for over thirty years, is best known today as Theremin Man—a fearless explorer of sound whose performances center
on the theremin, the rare electronic instrument played without touch. Having cut his teeth in iconic Canadian bands like Slow, Canned Hamm, and Nardwuar and the Evaporators, Hamm has since carved out a singular path as a solo artist. His shows fuse
theremin, synthesizer, and growling vocals into a genre-defying mix of electropop, space rock, and experimental soundscapes.

BIG RIG
Jen Clement of The Courtneys’ solo project Big Rig. She’s accompanied by Geoff Reith on banjo, Dan Forest (Buddie) on bass and Jay Arner on drums for tunes she calls “coastal cowgirl” and “boot gaze.” Her self-titled album bridges elements of alt-country with hook-heavy indie.

JODY GLENHAM
Vancouver-based DJ and musician Jody Glenham brings a playful approach to the dance floor, spinning a mix of indie dance, dark disco, synth-pop, and new wave. While she’s known for her dreamy “mood rock” as a recording artist, her DJ sets lean upbeat, and nostalgic, celebrating the sweet spot between cool and cathartic. Her nights have become staples in East Vancouver, including All My Friends at The Lido (indie sleaze) and Heaven Upstairs at The Fox (disco, new wave, Hi-NRG).
