Our collective has since evolved into a safe and playful space of belonging\, experimentation and healing for Black and Black Queer youth (aged 18-30) in Ottawa\, offering resources\, hangout spaces\, connection and knowledge sharing opportunities. Pass the Vibes’ vision is to create experimental\, non-judgmental and Queer/Trans-safe spaces of belonging for Black youth to witness themselves and each other in creative expression. \n\n\n\nWe’d like to extend a big thank you to our funders\, Ontario Triullium Foundation\, for making these events possible! and thank you to our organizational mentor\, DARC – the Digital Arts Resource Centre for their ongoing support.

Expect high-energy dance tracks and all your fave queers! \n\n\n\nTea dances were events organized on Sunday afternoons in the US gay community\, originating in New York in the 1950s and 1960s.

To lower the chances of a police raid\, these dances were held on Sunday afternoons and served non-alcoholic drinks. \n\n\n\nGet fancy and dance with cuties! Tea dances were one of the only places where people could express themselves\, so we fully encourage outfits! \n\n\n\nHighlights \n\n\n\n\nThis event centers people who are queer and/or trans who take covid precautions in their everyday lives.

\n\n\n\nTVOD (Brooklyn\, NY) \n\n\n\nBrooklyn-based rockers TVOD stand out with emotional\, sometimes juvenile lyrics\, paired with driving\, catchy songs that never fail to get a crowd moving/moshing. Influenced by post-punk\, egg punk and krautrock\, TVOD effortlessly weave musical genres in a way that comes off seamlessly. “More than anything\, their sound is engineered to make you move” (Creem Magazine). The brainchild of singer-songwriter Tyler Wright\, the project draws from personal and external inspirations like the nightlife/music scene\, heartaches\, World War II\, the untimely death of a beloved pet fish\, and so on. TVOD’s vivid storytelling paints a gritty tongue-in-cheek picture of being a D.I.Y. artist grinding it out in NYC\, complete with fabled tales about the degenerate lifestyle and all the good and the bad that comes with it. \n\n\n\nCDSM (Atlanta\, GA) \n\n\n\nCSDM a.k.a. Celebrity Death Slot Machine is a “freakout post-punk group” (FLOOD Magazine) based in Atlanta\, GA. Their stylish sonic onslaught is anchored around dancey rhythms\, atypical synthesizer work\, timely saxophone growls\, as well as goth rock-esque melodies that serve to recount bizarre humor-laden tales from a derelict parallel universe. The death disco purveyors – featuring past and current members from Material Girls\, Neighbor Lady\, Mothers and Rose Hotel – are to unearth their debut full-length album entitled Convertible Hearse on May 23rd\, 2025 via Mothland & EXAG’ Records. \n\n\n\nKAY-fayb (Gatineau\, Quebec) \n\n\n\nKAY-fayb is sound art trio Yolande Laroche\, Pierre-Luc ClĂ©ment and Linsey Wellman – exploring while engaging with the performative limits and/or/without potential of orchestral dissonance\, deceptiveness\, technologies\, mantras and evasive concepts such as obsessions and make beliefs through structured improvised performances.  \n\n\n\nEvent Information \n\n\n\nJuly 6th\, 2025 \n\n\n\nHouse of Targ – 1077 Bank Street\, Ottawa ON  \n\n\n\nDoors at 8:00pm | 19+   \n\n\n\n$20 advance / $25 at the door  \n\n\n\nFirst Crush Safer Spaces Policy\n\n\n\nAttendees\, artists and staff are expected to respect one another and the space.

Semi formal dress code encouraged! \n\n\n\nSince her onstage debut in 2022\, Hannah Vig has been making waves in Ottawa’s music scene. Releasing a debut single and E.P. in 2023 and winning OMIC’s Capital Music Award for Newcomer of the Year in 2024\, Vig has made a name for herself as Ottawa’s sensitive\, sapphic\, singer-songwriter. Originally known for intimate and emotive acoustic performances\, Vig has been joined by a backing band since August 2023. Bringing her rock influences to the fore\, Vig’s soulful voice soars on songs evoking the likes of Boygenius and Olivia Rodrigo. Currently consisting of Eric Montpool (lead guitar)\, Matthew Scharfe (bass)\, and Brendan Vandepol (drums)\, the band adds an exciting energy to her already dynamic sound and hard-hitting lyrics. \n\n\n\nSalmon Ella is a result of the 2017 Girls+ Rock Ottawa’s Rock Camp for Women+. Since that June weekend\, Cynthia\, Delta\, Hannah\, and Katie have been writing music with quirky melodies and uncomfortably honest lyrics to get to the heart of their experiences. Influenced by Warpaint\, Bikini Kill\, Courtney Barnett\, and Fiona Apple\, they played their first show in October 2018 and are quickly making a mark on the Ottawa music scene. Sometimes absurd\, sometimes ethereal\, their music will have you saying “I don’t know what I just listened to\, but I think I liked it!”. \n\n\n\nDark Room is a 3-piece indie/alternative rock band with Middle Eastern and North African roots. Recently formed in Ottawa\, the band features Alya on lead vocals\, Raph on guitar\, and Zanou on drums. With each member bringing their style to the mix\, they take inspiration from artists like Arctic Monkeys\, Towa Bird\, and Briston Maroney. Blending their distinct feelings and experiences\, Dark Room is quickly developing their craft and unique sound. \n\n\n\nOnline + Door Price: $15 adv plus HST\, $20 @ door Doors: 7:00 Show: 8:00 URL:https://maxottawa.ca/list/hannah-vig-album-release-show/ LOCATION:The Rainbow Bistro\, 76 Murray St.\, Ottawa\, Ontario\, K1N5M6\, Canada CATEGORIES:Live music,Nightlife,Ottawa END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250703T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250703T230000 DTSTAMP:20260609T065926 CREATED:20241029T210043Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241106T152947Z UID:10000525-1751572800-1751583600@maxottawa.ca SUMMARY:Karaoke Night DESCRIPTION:Karaoke with fellow Queers hosted by Jolene.
