Xana at the Biltmore Cabaret in Vancouver, BC – Gallery
With her unapologetic take on pop, Xana has carved out a space for herself with music that celebrates female empowerment, sexuality, and queer representation. She blends various genres into a sound that’s truly her own. With two albums under her belt—her debut Tantrums and the latest The Sex Was Good Until It Wasn’t—Xana continues to push boundaries and make waves in the music scene.
On October 4 at Vancouver’s Biltmore Cabaret, Xana ended her The Sex Was Good Tour in front of an electric crowd. From the moment she stepped on stage, she had the room buzzing with excitement. Her energetic and passionate performance was captivating, keeping everyone in the audience engaged from start to finish. Xana‘s connection with her fans was undeniable—she constantly moved across the stage, reaching out to hold hands, make eye contact, and sing directly to individuals in the crowd.
The setlist was a mix of bangers from her latest album and fan favourites from Tantrums, and whether you were a long-time listener or new to her music, it was impossible not to get swept up in the high-energy atmosphere.
It was a night full of bold, raw emotion, and it’s clear that Xana is a voice for the LGBTQIA+ community, using her platform to represent and celebrate queer identity.

Joyce Manor Bring I Used To Go To This Bar Tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
On May 11th, American punk rock band Joyce Manor brought their I Used To Go To This Bar Tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver for a high-energy, jam-packed set.
The punk rock band from Torrance, California, was formed in 2008. Known for their fast, emotionally charged songs and energetic live shows, they became a major influence in modern emo and pop-punk with albums like Never Hungover Again and 40 oz. to Fresno.
Taking the stage at 9:45 pm, Joyce Manor ran through an impressive 24-song set, jumping into hit after hit, with little downtime. The band kept the energy in the room throughout the night, with lots of moshing and crowdsurfing, especially in their hits “Catalina Fight Song”, “Heart Tattoo,” and “Constant Headache.”
Between the mayhem, the band’s songs evoke a deep sense of nostalgia, capturing the feeling of past heartbreak and growing up. Barry Johnson’s emotionally charged vocals, paired with the band’s raw, unfiltered guitar sound, have a way of making you get into your feelings.
The 24-song set allowed Joyce Manor to premiere a lot of their new material from I Used To Go To This Bar, while ripping through some of their biggest hits on cult favourites, Never Hungover Again and Joyce Manor, leaving something for everyone to enjoy.

Good Kid Bring ‘Can We Hang Out?’ Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
On May 10th, Canadian indie rock band Good Kid brought their Can We Hang Out? Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver. The Toronto-born group, known for their high-energy performances and catchy melodies, kept the Vancouver crowd going all night long with their quirky personalities and interactions with the crowd.
The band is touring in support of their first full-length studio album, Can We Hang Out Sometime? — A bright, energetic indie rock record about the importance of staying connected when life feels chaotic.
Good Kid took to the stage around 9:00 pm, previewing the fresh sounds of Can We Hang Out Sometime? Opening with the catchy “Wall”. Instantly, the band had the crowd at their fingertips, singing along to every single lyric and getting the whole venue jumping up and down.
The Toronto group have built one of the strongest artist–fan relationships in modern indie rock by making their audience feel like an active part of the band’s world rather than just consumers of their music. There is an official Good Kid discord server, and they regularly engage with their fans on social media. They’ve also tapped into the gaming/streaming space, letting people use their music without aggressive copyright enforcement and have made a name for themselves in the Fortnite community.
Through the night, the band ran through their hits like “From the Start”, Mimi’s Delivery Service”, “Cicada”, “Summer” and “Bubbly.”
The show was full of antics with a wall of death, playing basketball with a giant beach ball and hula hoops, and even lead singer Nick Frosst at one point joining the moshpit. With a show of hands, it was about half of the venue’s first concert experience, and Good Kid definitely made it one to remember.
One thing is for sure — anytime Good Kid rolls into town, Vancouver is always down to hang out sometime.
