Dick Hardy

Dick Hardy, otherwise known as Alanna Edwards, will be performing Randy Houser’s stompin’ country song “Boots On.” Hailing from Chilliwack, Dick enjoys cheap beer, frequenting strip clubs, and evading child support payments. Between moonlighting as a male stripper and cheating at poker games, Dick like to hit up the sales at Wal-Mart. Yes, ladies, he is single.

Colleen Wagner

I play some songs. Sometimes they’re alright. I like kittens and pomade.

Filipina Colada

Filipina Colada is Vancouver’s singing drag sensation! Growing up in Manila, Filipina started singing at church. It was there that she developed a passion for performance. For Filipina, music is one of the purest ways one can express emotion. Miss Colada has a fondness for musical theatre, twirly skirts, and fantasy action RPGs. In boy mode, you can hear Filipina on the radio every Sunday as the Arts & Entertainment host for QueerFM at CiTR 101.9FM.

Hebecca Montoril

Hebecca Montoril was born in Brazil but recently moved to Vancouver from Portland Oregon. She loves processing events in her life through songwriting. Her style of playing could be described as whimsical yet sexy. When she’s not madly coming up with new material she’s cooking excessive amounts of beans and rice (and other delicacies) as well as making funny faces at people and pretending she’s a wild beast.

Andrew Heebeejeebee

I am Andrew heebeejeebee, and I write my own music.
I like poetry, long walks on the beach, and poking dead things with a stick.
I’m only in grade 10, and my favorite musical influence is Beck.

Genevieve Jaguar

Genevieve Jaguar is a burlesque performer of mysterious origins. Some say she was raised by jungle cats in the forests of Borneo, others insist that she’s a cyborg-100% man-made teasing machine. One thing they can all agree on is that she’s one saucy minx who’s sure to get your juices going.

Ponyboy

Paige’s drag debut began in 2008, on a dare to perform at her own birthday party at Lick. The experience was overwhelmingly positive and inspiring; “Ponyboy” was born. Two months later, Ponyboy collaborated with some local kings to create what would become Vancouver’s longest running drag king showcase, Man Up. Ponyboy is actively involved in the local drag scene, having performed for Queerbash, Apocalypstick, Highschool Confidential, Spit, IGNITE! Festival, and more.

See more of Ponyboy at Man Up, Friday May 30th at The Cobalt.

Leroy & The Lovebots

We are Leroy & The Lovebots. We are composed of Leroy Wan, and the Lovebots: Ady, Andy, Cydney, Deva and Jasmine. We have performed in IGNITE! Youth Week for 3 years now, and this will be our 4th year. It’s always high energy, theatrically sexy, and hopefully liberating. Our costumes reference our idols, and with our performances, we always try to express something that is purely our opinion. We are also in the midst of recording our Summer EP named: Leroy and The Lovebots.

Big Evil

Big Evil were forged by a master craftsman in the depths of a volcano, designed solely to provide music that is both large-scale and devoid of good intentions. An anonymous source has stated that Big Evil are “possibly one of the greatest avant-garde funk bands to form in Vancouver so far this year.” All of their songs are about fire, and they do their own choreography.
