SUMMARY:Rubber Tire Peep Show
DESCRIPTION:Canadian musical collective Rubber Tire Peep Show hits the legendary King Eddy stage on July 18. \nAbout Rubber Tire Peep Show: \nWhen experiencing the Rubber Tire Peep Show\, one may be struck by the inspired authenticity\, fused with an improvisational electricity that gives a slight nod to music of the past… once you get it\, you can’t forget it. \nRubber Tire Peep Show is a Canadian musical collective whose eclectic repertoire spans decades and genres. With deep musical roots and a love of performance\, RTPS’ music is infused with jam-band dynamics\, country-blues sensibility and rock and roll spirit that has captured audiences across Canada. \nLed by founding members Liam Slingerland and Harrison Smith\, the pair dreamt up the project 10 years ago while spending countless hours washing dishes\, and listening to their favourite music to help pass the time their High School job. Their bond grew deep with their passion for music\, as they spoke of someday taking these influences and together playing music of their own. Even in those days\, it was known that band would be called Rubber Tire Peep Show – based on Liam’s suggestion. What they didn’t know at that time\, was just how far these dish-pit daydreams could take them. \nIn 2024\, RTPS set out on two successful multi-provincial tours\, selling out shows across B.C\, Alberta\, Nova Scotia\, and Ontario in support of their debut\, self-titled record. Released in June 2024\, the band has since garnered great attention\, including features from EXCLAIM! Magazine\, CBC Radio 1\, and most recently Halifax Music Archives’ Best of 2024. \nAfter closing out the summer with a sold-out homecoming show in Toronto; a main stage slot at Highlands Music Festival; and landing an opening slot for Sloan in the fall of 2024\, the band was invited to kick off the 2025 New Year with a milestone performance at Massey Hall’s state-of-the-art venue extension\, TD Music Hall. \nThe “Peep Show” is best known for their commitment to the live show and constantly work to bring their audience a unique experience on any given night\, curating both in-studio and live collaborations with an ever growing roster of artists and musicians. Collaborators and sit-in’s spanning from local talents of stops along tour\, to even more notable names of the Canadian music scene such as Tower of Power’s Jordan John\, Katie Tupper\, Matt Mays\, and members of The Trews. \nAlongside “usual suspects”; Max Swiderski\, Patrick Fockler\, and David Matta\, the band is now at work producing new music\, after completing another successful cross-country tour through the spring and summer of 2025\, including appearances at the renowned Ottawa Bluesfest\, the Canadian National Exhibition\, and landing an opening slot for The Trews. The group is in the midst of planning their touring endeavours for 2026.

SUMMARY:Chandler Billinghurst
DESCRIPTION:Chandler Billinghurst is a comedian with the kind of name that sounds like he should either own a vineyard or get heckled at one. He brings sharp observations\, quick turns\, and just enough charm to make terrible life choices seem relatable. On stage\, Chandler mixes wit and honesty\, finding the funny in everyday chaos\, awkward moments\, and the general confusion of being alive. He’s proof that sometimes the best way to survive adulthood is to laugh at it first. \nOn stage\, Chandler mixes wit and honesty\, finding the funny in everyday chaos\, awkward moments\, and the general confusion of being alive.

SUMMARY:Initial D: Car Show  & Screening
DESCRIPTION:Start your engines as we gear up for INITIAL D\, a car show and screening! \nSince the 90s and 00s\, the car import scene has been a vital cultural space for the Asian diaspora\, including Chinese youth in North America. Modifying Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) vehicles allowed the diaspora to take pride in Asian engineering and forge distinct identities against Eurocentric car culture. Brands like Honda\, Acura\, and Toyota were canvases for creativity\, community building\, and cultural expression for second-generation immigrants. \nThe car show is brought to you by Compact Tuning Lab with DJ ChargedUp providing the tunes. \nIn the evening\, the Chinatown Pop Up Movie Club will screen the 2005 Hong Kong action film INITIAL D (頭文字D) directed by Andew Lau and Alan Mak of Infernal Affairs fame. This also marked the acting debut of Jay Chou\, a Taiwanese singer-songwriter who is known as the ‘King of Mando-pop’.
