KIMMORTAL
Kimmortal is a queer non-binary filipinx-canadian artist known for their powerful stage presence and multi-dimensional approach to music. The message of staying true to oneself has always persisted throughout Kimmortal's music, and their new album "SHOEBOX" continues this track record. Kimmortal's clever wordplay has only gotten sharper over the years with personal lyrics that celebrate the 2SLGBTQ+ community and give the middle finger to societal injustice.

THE HISTORY OF GUNPOWDER
The History Of Gunpowder is a freak-out ensemble from Montreal, now based in Vancouver, with an ever-changing cast of members that put on unpredictable, chaotic live shows. A staple of the Canadian live scene, The History is devoted to constantly pushing the envelope on stage and in the studio and has built a community around them that consists of some of the best musicians in Canada. On any given night, The History may have a horn section, violin quartet, or gospel vocal group joining them on stage to add to their 8-piece core group. For this performance, The History will be playing new music with an extended line up, some say it may be an 11-piece.... Come see the monstrosity in all its glory.
