FateXY is an alternative, genre-bending band based between Vancouver and Victoria, pulling members from both cities. Their sound lives in the in-between — emotional but sharp, melodic yet restless — blending alt-rock, indie, and darker pop textures without locking into one lane. And while FateXY can hit heavy, the band doesn’t take itself too seriously. FateXY weaves humor and comedy into their shows and presence, breaking the tension, connecting with the crowd, and keeping things loose and real. Live, it’s intense but playful — charged without being pretentious. atomsmatter is an all-originals indie rock band hailing from Victoria BC, playing Hard rock, Dance Punk and Garage Rock anthems with a fun pop sensibility.

Formed a decade ago out of the ashes of three bands, atomsmatter quickly developed their new brand of bright, catchy, danceable pop oriented hard rock with punk and garage band influences
