Peach PRC in New York City – Review & Gallery
It’s Pride month in New York City so it was only natural to spend two nights with Australia’s glittering (self-dubbed) Lesbian Popstar Peach PRC.
Every aspect of the stage was curated to Peach’s bubblegum pop Y2k aesthetic— from her full body pink glitter and extravagant makeup and stage outfits to the lighting and visuals. Shoutout to makeup artists Stirling Tull and Linnea Sumner who crafted these glittery looks. Their artwork makes for a striking appearance in the best way. The looks felt like a nod to Peach’s pink and sparkling essence and the aesthetics of drag performers and made both Peach and Chloe on guitar absolutely magnetic and eye-catching. In addition to the makeup looks, Peach continued to sparkle at the center of my attention from the artful lighting by Jackson Sto.
Fans of Peach PRC are incredibly involved and dedicated to the artist, both nights I attended there were fan projects that filled the floor during specific songs. Night one at Warsaw fans held up paper hearts that read “Peach PRC saved me” and on the second night at Irving Plaza they filled the audience with rainbow flags during “God is a Freak.” There was a clear bond between the artist and her fans that was palpable even from the side of the stage, Peach’s smiles to the audience told all. She received many pigeon and pink themed gifts throughout the show from fans. The crowd was so loud and excited and most came for both nights— some fans coming from as far as Canada for the sold out Irving Plaza show.
Peach performed solo with Chloe Dadd on guitar. Peach is a captivating performer and her vocals across these two performances were some of her best. Between the dynamic Chloe and sparkling Peach on stage you’d be hard pressed to choose who to look at. The on-stage chemistry between the pair creates a sense of comfort, allowing them to tap into the emotions of the audience during what Peach dubbed the “sad section of the concert where we’re all gonna cry.” The pair sat on stage and performed Peach’s newest single, “Touchy Subject” to an audience that all certainly had to dab at their eyes. Her songwriting style is raw and vulnerable and they are well-suited to being performed live to a receptive audience who come in ready to feel. During this part of the set the audience sang along, harmonizing at times, captivated by the storytelling.
I think what makes Peach PRC such a compelling artist both on and off the stage is her authenticity to herself. She makes music about the deepest of emotions and puts so much of herself into each song that they take the listener on an emotional journey. Her performance celebrates the highs and lows of life and she is unafraid to be authentic to herself on stage. Her songs about her lesbian identity reflect this and the live show created a space for her concert attendees to also feel celebrated in their sexualities or gender identities. Peach was given a lesbian flag during the Pride flag fan project and the singer danced and proudly held up the flag, waving it for all to see. She also incorporates a stripper pole into the set, an ode to her previous profession. The audience loved the moments where she stepped out in 7 inch clear platforms and did tricks on the pole. She celebrates the journey that brought her to the glittery pop performances she puts on today. It was such a moving show to be at during Pride Month.

Marianas Trench Pack History Ottawa, With Fionn Opening
Vancouver acts on both ends of the bill. Fionn opened and Marianas Trench headlined at History Ottawa on October 24, 2026.
Fionn, a pair of twins, had a room that was already nearly full by the time they hit the stage, which isn’t always a given for an opener. They made the most of it with a high-energy set that never let up, and with the two working well together, and feeding off each other’s energy. They were rocking out the whole way through, and it set the tone for the night.
Marianas Trench took the stage to a crowd that was loud from the start and sang along throughout, often seeming to carry the songs as much as the band did.
The set covered a wide range of their discography, from newer hits like “Down to You” to older fan favourites like “Stutter” and “Cross My Heart.” Longtime fans and newer ones got their moments, and the crowd knew every word either way.
Frontman Josh Ramsey, on lead vocals and guitar, controlled the room from start to finish. He was engaging and constantly connected with the audience, and his vocals were fantastic. Midway through the night he left the stage and walked through the crowd, a staple of his at many shows. It brought him face to face with the fans singing back at him, a moment I’m sure they’ll never forget.
It was a strong night for Vancouver music in Ottawa: an opener that came to play and a headliner that had the whole room with them.

Epik High Turns Vancouver’s Orpheum Into a Hip-Hop Party
Epik High brought its 3.0 Tour 2026 to Vancouver’s Orpheum on October 20, delivering a night of sharp lyricism, ridiculous humour and plenty of crowd interaction. With BOBO.XX opening the show, the Korean hip-hop trio proved that more than two decades into their career, they still know how to make a concert feel like a party among friends.
BOBO.XX, a musician and photographer who works on Epik High’s video and content, warmed up the audience with a taste of his own sound before handing the stage over to the headliners. Anticipation grew during the break, and the theatre erupted when Tablo, Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz appeared for “High Technology,” followed by “One.”
The group’s chemistry was clear to everyone. Their introductions quickly turned into a comedy routine, complete with DJ Tukutz’s sound effects and playful jabs at one another. Tablo might be the trio’s longtime leader, but Tukutz had recently claimed the title through a band competition, giving the three plenty of material to work with.
That humour carried through the night. Fan-submitted Post-it challenges put the members on the spot, leading to dance covers, awkwardly adorable aegyo and plenty of laughter. The challenges often involved bending the rules, with multiple notes taped together and presented as a single request. The trio’s willingness to make fools of themselves made the audience feel like part of the show rather than spectators.
The music never took a back seat. Tracks such as “ANTIHERO,” “Rosario” and “BURJ KHALIFA” kept the room moving, with the group’s tight delivery matched by DJ Tukutz’s work behind the turntables. The mood shifted for more emotional performances, including “1 Minute, 1 Second” and Mithra Jin’s solo “Will I Be Okay?,” showing a more vulnerable side to the performers.
The most meaningful moment came when Tablo spoke about the group’s long journey. His message was simple: if Epik High could keep pushing forward after 22 years, fans could overcome their own obstacles, too. It gave “Born Hater” an extra punch.
The trio closed with an encore of “EPIKISM” and “Don’t Hate Me,” sending the crowd home smiling. Epik High’s strength lies in the balance between serious musicianship and complete silliness. They can deliver an emotional message one minute and turn a fan-requested dance challenge into a comedy show the next. At the Orpheum, that combination made for a concert that felt personal, unpredictable and a whole lot of fun.
