A SPECIAL MYSTERY GUEST TBA THE WEEK OF THE SHOW

This event is happening on stolen territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh people. We are grateful for the opportunity and privilege to work, perform, and enjoy each other's art and company on this unceded land.

MASKS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ENTRY TO THIS EVENT.

We recognize that we are still in a pandemic, and group activities carry a risk. Please do your part to ensure our chronically ill and immunocompromised clients, staff, and community members can feel as safe as possible. Disposable masks and hand sanitizer will be available by the front doors free of charge.

Kylie became a part of the music scene when they were just 14 years old, playing an acoustic set at a tiny venue on Gore Avenue. In the five years since then, they've come remarkably far, independently debuting in 2018 with the EP Lotus Eater in 2018 and releasing their first full-length record, Big Blue, with support from Helm Studios in 2021.

We're so excited to be hosting this show, which will have Kylie V headlining with support from another Helm artist, Miguel Maravilla, and Nolan Fae. DJing will be provided by Dust Cwaine, and a surprise special guest will be announced the week of the show! It's going to be a great opportunity to celebrate our local music scene after years of isolation and hardship in our city caused not only by the pandemic, but also the housing and overdose epidemics.

This event was produced with support from our wonderful sponsors: 

• Strange Fellows Brewing for donating 48 beers to our artists, staff, and the Red Gate bar

• Zarak for providing 20 free vegan meals to our staff and performers before the show

• Red Gate Arts Society for generously waiving the room fee for this event

• Discorder for media sponsorship (radio ads, social media shoutout, paper ad out in print)

Thanks for your time, and I hope to see you there!
