This workshop is co-organized by a group of local dance artists in solidarity with Palestinian liberation and interested in learning more about Palestinian cultural resistance through dabkeh.Canadabkeh was founded by Haytham and Zaid Alhamaydeh, two Palestinian brothers from Nablus. When they arrived in Vancouver, they found that dabke culture was not active here and so they decided “to look for passionate individuals who would share and pursue the vision of bringing joy to the community through zaffe chants and loud dabke footwork.”The group is “passionate about spreading the Arabic culture and connecting people.”Dabke is an ancient but still popular folk dance rooted in many of the cultures of the Levant region of the Middle East including Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Palestine.

MRG Live presents Mount Eeriewith guests, RaganaFebruary 13th, 2025The Rickshaw Theatre19+Doors: 7:00pmMount Eerie I grew up five miles into the woods outside the island town of Anacortes, Washington during the 80's and 90's in a post-hippie echo that normalized saying hello out loud to the nearby mountains, waters and animals. As a teenager, entering the world of music and creation through the door that punk tore open, I finally found my people in Olympia. I lived there for 5 years and released records as the Microphones with the K label. Now I make Mount Eerie records, since 2003, and release them myself on a fake record label, stubbornly still DIY to the bone. I have a devotion to this life of creativity and subversion that has never wavered. These songs and works dig down into the bedrock of this place and try to bring forth a fresh exhale, a big picture glimpse, small beneath the sky, clear water trickling. - Phil Elverum, Mount Eerie RaganaRagana is a duo whose members alternate duties on drums, guitar, and vocals to produce some of the most unique and affecting dark music in metal today. The two-piece came together in 2011 in the DIY punk scene of Olympia, WA. Held together by an intense focus on raw emotion and haunting atmospherics, Ragana shifts seamlessly from tender, mesmerizing vocal harmonies to piercing, heart-ripping screams and back again, yielding a highly idiosyncratic take on black metal that is heavy, beautiful and punishing all at once.

The Rickshaw presents FEAR - 40 Years of More Beerwith guests, Dead Bob and The Vicious CyclesMarch 30th, 2025The Rickshaw Theatre19+Doors: 7:00pmFEARLegends. Formed in 1978 in Los Angeles, they shaped not only the sound Punk Rock, but defined the attitude and style which countless others mimic to this day, FEAR was the first punk rock band to grace national television in North America via Saturday Night Live on Halloween 1981, courtesy of John Belushi, leaving the studio set in shambles. FEAR remain on the permanently banned list from Saturday Night Live to this very day, and are ranked the number one musical performance in the show’s robust history by Rolling Stone Magazine. Their first album has sold over 500,000 copies and is considered to be one of he top ten punk rock albums of ALL TIME. FEAR’s frontman Lee Ving is also an accomplished actor with appearances in several large budget Hollywood film’s such as “Flashdance”, “Clue”, “Streets Of Fire”, and over 30 other films and television programs. Former members of FEAR have gone on to play with “Red Hot Chili Peppers”, “Frank Zappa”, “The Breeders”, and Frank Black & The Catholics”. Dead BobDead Bob is the solo incarnation of John Wright, drummer from long time and apparently legendary but now retired Punk rock band No Means No. Life Like, a NMN cover actually, is the first album John has released on his own. Though primarily written and performed by John he can’t take all the credit having engaged the help of several friends to get this thing done. Recorded and Produced by John in the wilds of British Columbia, this album's material spans several decades and there is a lot more in the archives. As might be expected the songs roll out cohesively but defy the cookie cutters and pigeon holes hence Genre is a tough one to convey but one thing that is not unclear is it is not to be listened to quietly! The Vicious CyclesLong time Vancouver, Canada favorites The Vicious Cycles play hook-heavy singalong moto-anthems. They are punk rockers born in the garage, delivering songs straight from a rock-n-roll heart! There is chaos. Sometimes there is fire. Things get burnt. Everyone has a good time.

She Stole My Beer presents She Stole My Beerwith guests, Bad Hoss Saturday, May 3rd, 2025 The Rickshaw Theatre 19+ Doors: 7:30pmShe Stole My BeerLike many great bands, She Stole My Beer is tough to hang a label on. Originating from Vancouver’s north shore, this jam-packed sextet has been at it for over 20 years. Two albums, a touring period, and a rude awakening to the realities of the music business have all come and gone but the live shows live on with just enough infrequency to keep their devoted fan base coming back in droves. The band prefers to keep the labelling obtuse and unofficially list influences as bands such as Lynard Skynyrd, Neil Young, and John Prine. The result is a live show made up of a mix of covers and originals with a repertoire large enough that they have never been accused of ever having done the same show twice. www.shestolemybeer.com Bad HossCan’t get to heaven ridin’ a bad hoss… www.instagram.com/badhoss.band RSVP on FacebookRefund Policy No refunds, unless event is cancelled.

Join Hastings Art School as they celebrate their latest group show, "Private View: Poor Women." This exhibition is dedicated to showcasing the incredible artwork of working-class women who have experienced poverty and financial hardship. These talented artists have been underrepresented in the mainstream art world, and this exhibition aims to amplify their voices and highlight the powerful range and depth of their practice. Hastings Art School, located in the accessible and vibrant city of Hastings, East Sussex, is committed to providing an affordable and flexible artistic development program. This unaccredited program offers a supportive environment for artists to explore and expand their creative abilities. The exhibition will take place at HAS x Hypha Studios, conveniently located in the Priory Meadow Shopping Centre on Queens Road, Hastings. We invite you to join us on Saturday, February 24th, from 2-4 pm for a private view and experience the captivating artwork of these talented women. This event is free of charge, providing a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in the art world and support these inspiring artists. Don't miss this chance to be part of a celebration of resilience, creativity, and the power of art.
