EAST VAN’S TINY CINEMA BIG-SCREEN MOMENTS I N T H E S M A L L E S T O F S PA C E S

V

ancouver might have the smallest movie theatre in the world. The term “theatre” may be grand to describe the East Van Vodville Cinema. It’s a tiny model movie theatre hiding out on the side of an East Vancouver building, screening film scenes for free with the push of a button.

The unique project was created by Janet Mader and David Bynoe.

“It makes so much sense as an object that it’s hard to believe it’s the only one, but it’s the only one we know of,” Mader tells us.

On the side of the Vancouver Hack Space at 1601 Venables St., sits a tiny theatre facade, with detailed features, blinking lights, and a sign that reads East Van Vodville Cinema.

But it’s more than a facade.

It’s a full cinema, sitting where a window used to be. And if you step up, press the button, and look through one of the tiny windows you can watch

notable scenes from famous movies like The Great Dictator, Casablanca, or Canadian Bacon.

It’s not just a wee screen, but a full theatre, with tiny seats, a balcony, curtains, and a few other patrons (like Waldorf and Statler).

A functional marquee out front announces what’s playing and occasionally a theme, like “Good Neighbours.”

The inspiration for the tiny cinema came from two places: The Pantages Theatre and the Vancouver Hack Space.

Mader and Bynoe are both practical special effects technicians on film sets around Vancouver. Essentially, they make practical special effects work.

They’re also involved with the Vancouver Hack Space, a not-for-profit that acts as a workshop and community centre for people who like making things, from little light-up badges to homemade drones and more. ❱❱

WORDS: BRENDAN KERGIN // IMAGES: ANDY WHITE // MODEL: MEG JACKSON

Fall 2025 AWSM 13

“If you’re working on a project that’s outside your comfort zone, you’re in a community where you can ask for advice,” says Mader. “It’s just generally a great, supportive environment to work in.”

There’s a tradition, Mader says, of creating little pieces of art in random places to “bring joy to whoever finds it.”

During a series of little pieces inspired by that idea, Bynoe made a musical chicken dance fridge creation that included a video screen. That idea morphed into making a tiny movie theatre.

When deciding on how to design the theatre, they came upon Vancouver’s own Pantages Theatre. Built in 1907 at 152 E Hastings St, it lasted for more than a century and hosted countless films and more.

It inspired much of the Vodville theatre’s interior and some of its facade.

“We took a bit more artistic licence with the outside facade,” says Mader. “I’m acutely aware of the difference.”

They designed the model theatre on a computer, printed many pieces on a 3D printer, and had to hand-finish pieces.

14 AWSM Fall 2025

“Everything that you see on that was custom built by us except the video screen and the button,” Mader explains.

It took the pair a year to put it together, but they were able to soft launch the project last June with a grand opening that November.

As far as they can tell, they built something unique; Mader says they found the Peephole Cinema in San Francisco, where people can look through a tiny hole to see a loop of films, but nothing like their full theatre. ❱❱

“IF THERE’S A BIG TAKEAWAY FROM THE VODVILLE, I THINK IT’S IN THE IMPORTANCE OF LOOKING AROUND FOR WAYS TO CONNECT IN YOUR COMMUNITY.” JANET MADER

“It’s so precious to have your artwork this well-received by the community,” says Mader.

The response to the little cinema has been “overwhelmingly positive.”

“We have so many people who say such kind things about it,” she adds.

One kind of audience they didn’t anticipate being excited was children, but kids have been bolting over to it when they see it.

“It’s been funny; I wasn’t expecting the kids to be into the stuff we show,” she says, noting children stay and watch the full clips one by one.

While most of what shows up on the tiny screen are well-known films, Mader says they’re open to much more.

“It’s such a blank slate from a curator’s perspective that we’re open to seeing what we can put on it,” she says.

That includes getting local independent filmmakers up on the tiny marquee.

Mader says the little theatre has shown how important community is.

“If there’s a big takeaway from the Vodville, I think it’s in the importance of looking around for ways to connect in your community.”

She adds that the little cinema became a way to give back to the community (both at the hack space and to Vancouver in general) that allowed them to create the art in the first place. ❚

Vancouver Wears It Well

I

n a city framed by mountains and ocean, fashion walks a uniquely expressive yet practical line. Vancouver, known for its athleticism and outdoorsy residents, is also home to a quietly radical fashion community, one that fuses slow fashion with cultural reclamation, storytelling, and a thrifted flair. Here, artists, stylists, designers, and creatives aren’t just dressing themselves—they’re dressing a city with an identity often misunderstood by outsiders.

“It’s absolutely thrilling to be here,” says Amanda May Daly, an Ojibwe stylist who got her start as a fashion assistant in 90s Grunge era Toronto before moving to Vancouver to be a part of the Y2K film scene. At the time, Daly met her friend and muse Jeffrey McNeil Seymour who introduced her to Indigenous design through fashion

20 AWSM Fall 2025

shows at an underground club called The Lotus. “Jeff taught me how to Indigenize the wardrobe,” she recalls.

“He introduced me to the concept of Decolonial Futures. He called us First Nation Sensations. That always made me giggle.”

To this day, Daly says her style is still very much influenced by grunge and queer rave and club culture. However, since moving back to Vancouver after attending a renowned design college in London, Daly admits there is a sprinkling of functionality to her wardrobe, too. “I still love wearing enormous jeans and oversized tailoring, statement pieces, I layer a lot,” she explains, adding that well-cut raingear and good boots in fall and winter have their place too.

There is an explosion of creative talent in Vancouver coming from schools like Blanche MacDonald, The

Cut Fashion Academy, and even youth programs like OpenStudio Academy.

Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week has made the city a mecca for Indigenous design, an impact Daly says “will resonate for generations,” and yet there is little representation or credit given on a national or global scale.

But perhaps this is because the quiet, radical movement is best understood through the voices of those embedded within it—the makers, stylists, photographers, and artists whose work is as much about place as it is about presentation.

Here are conversations with five such creatives, offering a portrait of Vancouver’s indie fashion scene.

What emerges is intimate, expressive, and deeply rooted in the land it calls home. ❱❱ Pictured: Mesh bra and skirt, Jude Canada.

MEET THE CREATIVES

T

aralyn Sanderson’s relationship with style is fluid and currently all about comfort. The Cree-Métis photographer from Treaty 4 came to the lens through modelling, learning the craft from the other side before picking up her first camera in 2016. “After having my daughter, I put my passion on hold,” she reflects, “but when she started kindergarten, I found that I had enough time to make this my career—and I love it here!”

Sanderson describes her current style as “streetwear with a feminine touch,” shaped by the need for comfort and the desire for increased boldness as she moved through postpartum life. For her, fashion is a kind of reclamation: “Each stage I got more free, and open to trying different styles, colours, and fabrics.”

Colour and texture are signatures of makeup artist Chelsea Behnsen, a proud member of the Oneida Nation. “I almost always wear colourful dresses and big ol’ beaded earrings,” she says. Now in her thirties, she describes her style as finally untethered from expectation: “Having more confidence and not being bothered by others’ opinions and judgment has been incredibly freeing.”

“HAVING MORE CONFIDENCE AND NOT BEING BOTHERED BY OTHERS’ OPINIONS AND JUDGMENT HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY FREEING.” CHELSEA BEHNSEN

Heather Jude, Fashion Designer and Founder of Jude Canada, has always been drawn to fashion because it combines all her passions. “Fabric is just a less messy version of paint,” she describes. “I love how a design can start in one place and by the end of the process transform into something even more beautiful than you’d have expected.”

Jude also loves how clothing can take on a new life when worn; she calls fashion a form of communication in moments where you may still be finding your footing in a room. Her designs are influenced by her favourite artists like

Desgat, her time as an Irish dancer, the unseen labour of performance and the nature surrounding Vancouver.

She cites the mountains at Golden Ears and the horizon at Vedder parks as inspirations for her most recent collection. “There’s something incredibly grounding about realizing how small we are in the face of nature,” she reflects.

“Fashion, no matter how bold or theatrical, still needs to be thoughtful.”

Hair artist Kerrigan Bowey, who moved from a chicken farm in rural Saskatchewan to the creative crucible of Vancouver, calls her style “eclectic leaning towards the y’all-ternative persuasion.”

She finds sartorial confidence in the city’s urban pockets. “Mount Pleasant pulls a lot of inspiration for me,” she says. “Growing up on the poorer side, I love a good deal.

The thrift stores around this city have my heart.”

Daly is inclined to agree, specifically calling out a linen blend drop shouldered blazer from Isabel Marant’s Etoile collection that she picked up in Mount Pleasant with big pockets for her “phone and seashells.”

“The community sales in this city are just amazing, just like the people,” Daly adds. ❱❱

Vancouver Wears it Well

VANCOUVER’S FASHION SCENE IS QUIETLY RADICAL

T

he whole creative crew, who collaborated on this editorial fashion shoot in təmtəmíxwtən/Belcarra Regional Park, consider Commercial Drive, Mount Pleasant, and Main Street as pillars of local style, not for their flash, but for their eclectic secondhand racks and community-rooted stores.

“IT FEELS AS THOUGH PEOPLE WANT TO WEAR THEIR VALUES BUT STILL STAND OUT. IT’S SLOW FASHION WITH EMOTIONAL DEPTH AND I’M HERE FOR IT!” CHELSEA BEHNSEN “It feels like we’re in a quietly radical moment right now,” Sanderson observes.

“More folks are choosing sustainability and expressive minimalism over loud trends. It feels as though people want to wear their values but still stand out. It’s slow fashion with emotional depth and I’m here for it!”

Jude, too, sees the city’s fashion identity as individualistic rather than trend-driven. “I think when I started in fashion I thought I needed to re-evaluate my aesthetic,” she says. “But I realized you just need to find your community.

Then work feels less like work and more like playing dress-up with your best friends.”

22 AWSM Fall 2025

Bowey, who specializes in runway and indie fashion shoot hair, has seen a surge in vintage inspiration among designers.

“In a city as diverse as ours I see incredible diversity within the confines of something as broad as the term ‘vintage,’” she clarifies. “Independent artists are pulling from classic eras with bold twists.

It’s so exciting to see them develop at such close proximity.” ❱❱

NAMING NAMES

W

hen asked which local brands or designers excite them most, these creatives offer a vibrant catalogue of indie brilliance: JUDE CANADA: “[Jude’s] pieces are so carefully put together with incredible detail, truly a work of art–whimsical and dreamlike,” says Sanderson.

EVALEC79: Indigenous designer Evelyn Alec, designer of EvAlec79, is a permanent fixture in Daly’s styling arsenal.

“Her graphic tees are one of my style staples. I usually crop them and cut off the sleeve but I also have her designs custom embroidered onto jackets and a collection of her Buffalo nickel necklaces.”

SECTION THIRTY-FIVE (JUSTIN JACOB LOUIS): “Justin Jacob Louis of Section ThirtyFive has the vision, he’s really going to move the needle for contemporary Indigenous design with his upcoming eponymous collection. That’s the quote,” says Daly.

BAHAR KIANPOUR: “The way she does men’s fashion needs to be studied. I am in love with her incorporation of beading, lace, mixed fabric and cut outs. She makes me excited for the future of men’s fashion and for red-carpet-walking men,” says Bowey.

ALICIA’S DESIGNS: “One of her custom bags was my first big girl purchase,” endorses Behnsen.

JADA CREATIONS AND COPPER CANOE: Behnsen recommends them for big auntie earrings.

INDI CITY: Indigenous-designed earrings that are “cool girl” staples, according to Daly.

AND FOR THOSE LOOKING TO SHOP LIKE A LOCAL: Forastera Vintage, Mine and Yours, Wildlife Thrift, Burcu’s Angels, Rewind Resale, and Mintage Mall all earn repeat praise.

Gravity Pope Tailored Goods is Daly’s pick for high-low designer edits with Canadian flair.

Indigenous markets are a must, says Sanderson: “You’re supporting families of all kinds.”

LOOKING FORWARD

W

hat do these style gurus envision for the city’s fashion future? What’s next in this place of shifting textures and intentions?

“We’re going to see more local storytelling, more individuality, and a deeper blend of fashion with function,” Jude says.

Sanderson and Behnsen both hope the move toward Canadian slow fashion becomes permanent.

“I think with all of the buzz and news coming out about how bad fast fashion is, we’ll see a lot more one of a kind, locally and handmade pieces being appreciated–risks taken with what we wear and how we wear it,” explains Sanderson.

Bowey pulls no punches: “People are tired of athleisure—sorry, someone had to say it.” She’s excited to see how the city stretches into new

silhouettes and bigger statements.

But it’s Daly who offers the most sweeping vision: one where fashion, media, and place intersect. “Social media has shifted the landscape for those of us in smaller markets,” she says. “With my portfolio work, (which includes dressing a nominee for the Academy Awards red carpet) I try to get out on the lands as much as I can because I want folks to see what this place called Vancouver… has to reveal to us. I want to encourage people to consider land-based perspectives that challenge ingrained ideas about luxury, value, and wealth.”

In that vision, Vancouver isn’t just a city that wears fashion well, it’s a city that teaches us how to wear our stories better. ❚ All interviews have been condensed and edited for clarity.

Styled after a 1970s “love motel,” everything about Chinatown’s sexy Meo feels like a wink and a smile. Sink into pink velvet seats in a room where the lighting is low and the vibes are high.

If you’re wandering Gastown and spot what looks like a pet psychic’s office, don’t be fooled—inside is Arcana, a cocktail bar with a vintage spiritualism twist. Think tarot readings, a glowing Ouija board, and drinks named after tarot cards that come with little surprises, like a psychic hotline number.

Tucked into Gastown’s moody Blood Alley, Is That French is a 51-seat wine bar where the real magic happens at the chef’s counter.

Chill under the sparkling disco ball as you sip wildly creative cocktails with ingredients like carrot, taro, or sundried tomatoes and enjoy a food menu of fun Asian-Euro share plates. Expect the unexpected on the food menu, with dishes like a scallop crudo with passionfruit and corn, Caesar saladinspired croquettes, or seafood paella with Valencian noodles.

Meo is making itself snug beneath the award-winning Kissa Tanto, and feels like a truly chic escape.

28 AWSM Fall 2025

The food’s a notch above typical bar fare, with French and Eastern European-inspired small plates that lean into comfort and creativity.

This is where the occult and clever food and drink collide in a wickedly fun way, for a night that’s anything but ordinary.

With a front-row seat to the action, diners can watch Chef Kovic Prevost and his team craft elegant small plates that champion Pacific Northwest ingredients with a French touch.

The wine program leans lowintervention, with by-the-glass options ideal for pairing and discovery. The menu changes seasonally, but you can always count on freshly-shucked oysters and their gotta-have-it Basque Cheesecake for dessert.

Tucked above Fraser Street’s bustling Greek spot Nammos, Ama (from the same owners) is a moody, Japanese-style speakeasy that delivers an immersive experience from the moment you step through its unmarked door.

Downstairs from modern bistro June on Cambie, Lala’s is a basement bar with a setup that feels like you’re hanging out in your cool friend’s record-filled living room.

Bleach Listening Room isn’t your average dinner spot—it’s what happens when a crew of creative friends turns a Chinatown design studio into a soulful, late-night hang.

Lala’s definitely gives chic after-party vibes, thanks to the French-Japanese inspired high-wattage cocktails and DJs spinning vinyl. For eats, they don’t do the full June menu, but you’ll find some snack-worthy plates to share or their decadent signature burger to keep to yourself.

The evolving menu draws from family recipes—shrimp laksa, dumplings, kofta meatballs—paired with a thoughtful wine list and a space that gives equal love to music, design, and food.

With a sleek, minimalist design and a central cocktail and raw bar, it’s the perfect backdrop for intimate evenings fuelled by creative drinks and elegant bites.

The menu features refined share plates— like uni pasta, sushi rolls, or roasted bone marrow—and cocktails infused with Japanese spirits and ingredients.

It’s walk-in friendly, open nightly, and made for people who know how to make a night last.

Built slowly and intentionally, Bleach feels more like a home than a restaurant (if your home had great lighting and better playlists). Tucked on a quiet stretch of Gore Ave, it’s the kind of place you stumble into and instantly want to bring your friends back to. ❚

hen the world stopped in 2020, the energy of Vancouver shifted.

The crowds were gone. The usual hum of traffic, chatter, and street music fell silent.

For Andy White, a self-represented artist and photographer, that silence wasn’t just eerie—it was an invitation.

“THERE WAS THIS EMPTINESS I’D NEVER SEEN BEFORE. IT FELT LIKE THE CITY WAS HOLDING ITS BREATH.”

“There was this emptiness I’d never seen before. It felt like the city was holding its breath,” says White.

Page 32/33: @604blue (Instagram) Is There Anybody Out There Series 1, 2020 Left: @604blue (Instagram) Goes Around Comes Around Series 8, 2025 Right: @604blue (Instagram) Dancing with Fire Series 6, 2023

With his camera in hand, White began walking the streets, capturing scenes that felt both familiar and foreign. At first, it was about documenting absence—the stillness of a city on pause. But as he experimented, the work began to shift.

Shadows became sculptural. Buildings took on new personalities. The city was no longer just itself—it was something imagined, cinematic, almost dreamlike.

That shift became the foundation for 604blue, a photographic series that

transforms Vancouver into a place where reality and imagination blur.

“I’m fascinated by the tension between opposing forces—presence and absence, day and night, past and future,” White explains. “These images live in those spaces in between.”

White says the project is as much about process as it is about place. “I try to let each image grow on its own. Sometimes I’ll have a plan, but often the best results happen when I just follow the light and see where it leads. You can’t force magic— you can only create space for it.” ❚

ancouver’s Mount Seymour isn’t trying to be anything it’s not. No highspeed six pack chairs, no bougie après, no multi-million-dollar grooming budget.

Just a little hill tucked above a big city, often overlooked by locals in favour of the flashier neighbouring resorts — Grouse and Cypress — with their longer laps and newer lifts.

But here’s the thing: Seymour hits different. It’s a rider’s mountain. Side hits for days, sneaky pillow lines, bootpackaccess backcountry, and a community that’s as core as it gets. Are we still allowed to say “core”? The folks who ride Seymour would be able to tell you.

You won’t find tourists posing in branded onesies here — just real snowboarders lapping the same runs on repeat, and milking every inch of terrain from first chair to well into the night.

This is where style matters most.

Where the park is right under the chairlift and creativity wins. Where legends keep showing up, not for the hype, but for the vibe.

And no one’s captured that better than Brad Heppner. A fixture in the Seymour scene for over 20 years, Heppner’s been behind the lens as the world’s best riders — locals and internationals — drop into this unassuming little hill and leave with some of their best footage. His photos are raw, honest, and dialled straight into the soul of snowboarding.

Not sold? We’ve paired Heppner’s images with words from the riders themselves — why they keep coming back, what Seymour means to them, and what makes this place more than just a mountain.

This is a love letter to Seymour. ❱❱

“Bumping into local pro Devun Walsh in the lift line, Jeff and Brendan Keenan, others from infamous Skids, Wildcats, Party Snake film crews – I feel “this” is such an important and amazing opportunity for young riders, to be around snowboarders they admire. Get a chance to converse, ride with, and learn things from them – both on and off the snowboard. Not just what you see in videos or on the internet.

“Seymour is my roots. It’s where I took my first runs on a snowboard, and it’s one of—if not the—first mountains to allow snowboarding in Vancouver, let alone the world. It embraced the sport when skiing was trying to abolish it.

The terrain is incredible for snowboarding, with so many natural hits everywhere—it’s like a skateboard park to me.

The hidden gems are everywhere; you just have to come for yourself and look around. Mine are definitely some of the rare features off the peak, with city backdrops that make for amazing photographs.”

SNOWBOARDER DEVUN WALSH (LEFT)

“My favourite feature Seymour has to offer is night riding. I grew up basically only riding at night in Ontario, and it brings me back.

Seymour is also legendary for grass roots events. One of the best was the Baked Salmon Banked Slalom. Fingers crossed for its rebirth. And shoutout to the ECS Invitational.”

RIDER SCOT BROWN (RIGHT)

“Seymour is one of my favourite mountains in North America!

What it lacks in size, it makes up for tenfold in snowboard history, accessibility, and affordability. I think Seymour is quite special because whether you’re a beginner just learning to ride, a full-on pro, or a seasoned veteran, there’s fun to be had at every level.

Get some friends together and take that hour-ish hike to the top through one of the backcountry access points and find a spot to build a jump. Just always make sure you’re well equipped with the proper gear and know the avalanche conditions.

Seymour really has something for everyone—from beginner to pro.”

JACK WHITE

T

he invitation came out of nowhere.

Two weeks before Jack White’s two sold-out nights at the Commodore Ballroom, WAIT//LESS – Vancouver’s buzzy post-hardcore quartet – got a Bandcamp message from someone on White’s team asking if they’d like to open.

Naturally, they assumed it was a scam.

“Where do we give our credit card info? Where’s the Nigerian prince?”

WAIT//LESS guitarist Trevor Stoddart remembers thinking.

46 AWSM Fall 2025

“IT WAS HILARIOUS...IT WAS LIKE, THIS IS AN OFFICIAL OFFER FOR JACK WHITE AT THE COMMODORE. WE’RE LIKE, WHERE DO WE GIVE OUR CREDIT CARD INFO? WHERE’S THE NIGERIAN PRINCE?” GUITARIST TREVOR STODDART

In hindsight, it made perfect sense.

White was tapping local openers in nearly every city on his tour, aiming for the best of each scene.

Their loyal following comes from the intensity of their live sets, where White channels Millennial fury at the state of the city-slash-country-slash-planet.

In Vancouver circa 2025, that’s WAIT//LESS.

We sat down with White and Stoddart ahead of the release of their debut album Improve Yourself – out now on streaming and cassette – to talk life as working musicians, their hopes for the record, and why making angry music can be healing. ❱❱

Fronted by the magnetic Rebecca White (no relation to Jack), the band delivers the city’s most electrifying rock show: punk swagger, foaming energy, and enough pop hooks to pack a room.

WAIT//LESS

JACK WHITE

What’s the toughest show you’ve ever played?

Are you guys making a living doing it yet?

Rebecca White: The worst crowd you can have is no crowd – when there’s like two folks in the audience. But you always have to play a show as if you have 1,500 people. You can’t phone it in, it doesn’t matter who’s there. You can’t pick and choose when you’re gonna be like, “I don’t feel like doing this because there aren’t enough like people.” It’s not about how many people, it’s about the quality of what you provide.

RW: No. Everything that we make from our shows, we have a bank account that we just put it in so that we can pay for, like, merch, or if we have to travel or whatever, or maybe buy some cheeky drinks before a show.

We played Edmonton once. It was cold, like October or November in Alberta. And of course, there were like six people in this bar, but we played sick that night. I remember because I had all this extra time to do vocal warm ups.

Trevor Stoddart: I think at this point, we’ve been surprised that we’ve been able to put in so much return back into that band fund and expand.

Then, with the Jack White show, for example, that had like 100 times the amount of people there and I’m secondguessing my performance with that. It’s not that there were too many people, it’s just that on big shows like that, I get really – well first of all, I always drink too much caffeine. Then I’m overthinking every move that I’m doing. You want it to be well-received because something big could potentially happen from that.

Was that all heightened because Jack White was obviously watching you?

RW: If it was like “Jack White Presents WAIT//LESS” and he wasn’t there, then it would be different. But I’m like, he’s gonna watch the show. Clearly, he’s on the hunt to add to his label. So it’s a big opportunity – you want to do well, and you want to put your best foot forward.

It’s funny that people think, “It’s rock and roll! Just do it and party, and it’s whatever!” But it’s not like that. Like, you want to be a good performer, and you also want to be a good person to hire. It’s a business at the end of the day.

Did you get to hang out with Jack?

RW: Not really. He seems to stick to himself and his crew. We did meet him briefly, because he takes a photo with every band that he plays with. I was trying to enchant him. I was shaking his hand and looking deep into his eyes, like, surely my witchy gaze will convince you that you need more of this in your life.

His group sent us each a poster from the night. I was looking at it, like, “Hmmmm there doesn’t seem to be a contract here.

48 AWSM Fall 2025

Making money off the music would be sick, but it takes a while. You have to have like two million streams to make like 20 bucks a month or something like that.

Spotify is crazy.

RW: Yeah, we’re not joking this time either. We are releasing our record at the end of the summer.

What are your hopes for the album?

TS: I hope that it can fill something in someone’s listening Rolodex that they don’t have already. I don’t want it to be this thing that slots in with a million others in the same category. Hopefully, we offer a different feeling that you want to have while you’re listening to music.

OK, on the flip side – what are your expectations for the album?

RW: Bigger shows. We’ve moved into this kind of intermediate realm of being a band and playing these shows. We’ve played the Commodore a handful of times. We’ve opened up for legendary bands, you know. We’ve moved on from where we started from, like, saying yes to everything and playing Green Auto three times a month, you know?

I hope this is like getting a raise when you’ve been working a job for X amount of years. You deserve more because you have put your energy into producing something that people want and are thirsty for. So I’m hoping for a solid tour, maybe going to the UK. We were gonna go to the States, but that’s an insane thing to do now, so I’ll probably skip that for the next couple years at least.

Back to those two-person gigs. When was the last time you had one of those?

RW: It’s been a while. I’m really happy that obviously there was some sort of need for what we’re doing in Vancouver, because it has been so well received over

the last couple years. The small shows happen only when we play in towns when people don’t know us. But in Calgary, for example – I’m from Calgary, and so we already have a crew of people that are at least interested in seeing the show.

How do you physically give each show all that energy, whether it’s two people or 1,500 people?

RW: Our set is less than half an hour, so it’s not too much work to do. But you just feel it in your bones, you know? You can’t be contained when you’re screaming like that. All my songs are about my perception of family members with alcoholism, or my friends struggling with their mental health, or, like, the world ending. The anger just rises up. You can’t just phone it in when you’re singing about that or playing music like we play. The energy is so big, it takes over.

Maybe that’s why your music’s resonating. Because there aren’t a lot of outlets to express anger or rage in this city, and it can be challenging at times to live here?

TS: It truly is.

RW: And you should be pissed!

TS: But it’s good to come together and support each other. That’s what it’s about.

It’s not about being pissed, it’s like, how do we make this better together?

RW: You’re not alone in the feelings of, like, feeling bad. I also feel bad. I will take your hand, we’ll feel bad together, and we’ll scream about it, you know? I don’t want to say we’re changing the world or anything, but coming together with like-minded people and screaming about something, and being happy or upset together is powerful.

What’s the best way to connect with the city’s local music community?

RW: Oh, good question. I think that people should take chances to put themselves out there. Always be yourself and be good to people – you never know who you’re talking too. Also starting conversations with the people that you commonly see at the same shows, or chatting with the bands, et cetera. ❚

ive years in, Vancouver Cocktail Week, presented by The Alchemist magazine, isn’t just holding its own—it’s setting the bar. What began as a spirited celebration of all things shaken and stirred has evolved into a city-wide showcase of the culture, craft, and creativity that make Vancouver’s cocktail scene one of the most exciting anywhere.

From March 1 to 8, 2026, VCW takes over the city with eight days of smartly curated events that blend world-class talent with local flavour. There’ll be daily Cinq à Sept happy hours, pairing dinners, educational seminars, and serious party energy—all anchored by appearances from globally renowned bartenders and some of Vancouver’s own award-winning legends behind the stick.

The week kicks off with the always buzzy Signature Brunch and wraps with

the ultra-glam Gala—a blowout evening of next-level cocktails, great food, and the kind of crowd that actually dresses up for a night out. In between, expect a thrilling roster of intimate spirit tastings, neighbourhood bar crawls, and chef collabs that bring the culinary world into the mix.

It’s not just for industry insiders, either—VCW is built for curious sippers, passionate food lovers, and anyone who appreciates a well-balanced drink and a good time. And yes, some events will sell out (they always do), so plan ahead. Whether you’re brushing up on martini history or discovering your new favourite bar, this is one week when the city’s glass is definitely more than half full.
