About the Performers

SubTop

SubTop is the queercore response to contemporary indie. Filtering the queer experiences through 90’s alternative and more, SubTop explores how we understand shame, sadness, and heartbreak, then plays another power chord in hopes to find the joy. Taking influence from Sufjan Stevens, Liz Phair, Jeff Rosenstock, and even Frank Ocean, SubTop bends and contorts genres to tell the stories he wishes he had heard growing up.

Matthew Presidente

Vancouver’s piano man, Matthew Presidente (he/him/his) is a bold rock/pop songwriter. Whether performing solo or with his full band, his music’s honest queer perspective invokes nostalgia, small town memories and challenges you to reflect on an exciting journey of self discovery.Referred to as “one of — if not ­— the best singer/songwriters our LGBT scene has” by Xtra Magazine (Vancouver), Matty has performed among headliners such as Ace of Base, Dragonette and even shared a stage with Patti Smith! He’s showcased his original material at notable music venues such as The Roxy, The Railway Club, The Backstage Lounge, XYYVR and Numbers Cabaret. An advocate for queer art, he has been enthusiastically recognized on the Vancouver Main Stages (for over 12 years!), across the country, and internationally. Most recently he toured the mountains of BC for Peak Pride spreading queer entertainment through the province.He’s currently recording a new full band album with songs speaking of loss, life changes and ultimately evolution. You can hear the first single, ‘A-List’, now on all streaming platforms.
