An electronic music open mic. An open mic where you can play electronic music if you wanna but it’s not exclusively that genre, knowwhatimsayin? Karaoke! Toronto Queer Film Festival’s 10th birthday! Live electronic music. Saturday afternoon rock. A Saturday night with the eight greatest cover band on the planet! An open stage for original tunes. The soulful sounds of the blues.

Drunk hangman with ridiculous clues and probable misspellings. An open mic. Karaoke. Noise-rock drum machine electronica. Live Motown and retro r&b. Saturday afternoon live electronica. A queer-led dance party for disgusting tunes. An open stage for original music. A regular Thanksgiving Sunday bar night.

We have served, we will be of service. Come on down to our place, The Continental of Augusta Avenue! No “business” (fighting, killing, executing contracts) on our grounds! Remember, John Wick was a lover!

A few shots from my ultimate highlight from #TIFF '26: getting to perform "I'm Just Ken" by Ryan Gosling and @iammarkronson from @barbie at one of my favourite places in the world, the @bovinesexclub (for those not in the know, there are neither cows nor intercourse to be found).

Thank you so much to @fantasiafestival for having me, @hotbreath for hosting, and the literal King @bykingdawit for giving me the idea to do this and just fuckin' go for it. Best night of TIFF ever and I wouldn't change a thing. This song means a lot to me from a movie that means even more, and I had the best people to belt it to.

An electronic music open mic. An open mic like the ones you’re used to. Karaoke. Emcees. Kensington Market Jazz Fest. The soulful sounds of the blues!

That’s our week, all music bases covered! It’s so lovely and comfortable on our patio at the moment too, a great excuse for happy hour drinks, Mon-Fri 5-8PM!

Ambient. An open mic. Karaoke that really is beautiful this time of year. Smokey tunes and warm Thursday vibes. A beach party for anyone that can’t be bothered to actually go to the beach. Jazz improvisation and contemporary arrangements from across the Arab world. A Sunday afternoon open stage for original tunes. A Sunday night featuring a variety of mashed genres that you’ll love!

That’s each day at our place over the next week.
Swipe through for all the art work! Don’t fret about summer being over. Thanks to climate change, it’ll probably be warm weather until November. So we’re really only halfway. Bask in it!

Live trip hop. An open mic. The wildest Wednesday karaoke you’ll ever see. Local indie. Live electronic music. Jam and psychedelic rock. An open stage for original music. A night of art, music, and belly dance to highlight SWANA culture in Canada.

Does anyone read the captions here, really? Fair enough if not, all the information is there on the images (swipe for all this week’s event art). But we hope you all do read the captions because if not, you’ll miss us informing you that you are loved and you look great today! Hope to see ya this week!
