COLD FAME
Cold Fame is an up-and-coming alternative pop-rock duo from BC, Canada, led by vocalist Jodi Pederson and guitarist Damian Anthony. Blending the energy and drive of indie rock with electronic and pop influences, the band has crafted a unique and emotionally charged sound.

Damian, a skilled multi-instrumentalist and self-taught producer, brought his creative approach to songwriting and sound design, while Jodi’s powerful, haunting and anthemic vocals and lyricism added a unique edge. Their dynamic partnership fueled the band’s evolution, culminating in the release of their debut album, RED ROOM, in fall 2024. The album’s breakout single, Hello Reaper, resonated with Canadian radio, charting on the Top 40 for several months, peaking at #29 in Canada. Their high energy live performances have landed them multiple festivals alongside artists like Gwen Stefani, Fleet Foxes, Hollow Coves, Peach Pit, Allen Stone, The Blue Stones and more. This success has begun to cement Cold Fame’s reputation as one of Canada’s most exciting emerging pop-rock acts.

MIDNITE GOSSIP
Midnite Gossip is a cinematic alt-pop duo from Calgary, AB, featuring Nicky Markin (vocals, production) and Mickey Valenz (drums, vocals, production, visuals). Their sound merges lush, atmospheric production with elements of trip-hop, electronica, and raw, intimate vocals, creating what they describe as a “pretty but gritty” musical and visual aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from 90’s alternative rock, female pop energy, and cinematic soundscapes, they craft immersive music influenced by artists like Portishead, Massive Attack, and Phantogram, blending deep atmospheric textures with dynamic, infectious beats.

Since forming in late 2022, Midnite Gossip has gained national radio play on stations including CBC, CJSW, CKUA, and X92.9 FM’s “Xposure,” as well as featured in Canadian and international media. Their ‘Live’ EP, released in March 2024, gained significant traction, charting on CJSW’s electronic charts, signalling a swift rise in the indie music scene. Their multidimensional artistic vision extends beyond their music, with energetic and methodically crafted live performances that guarantee to take audiences on a cinematic sonic journey. Notable appearances include showcasing at Canadian Music Week (2024) and performances at Wintersong Music Festival (2025), The Calgary Tattoo & Art Festival (2023) and Satellite Music + Art Festival (2023), sharing the stage with artists like Bedouin Soundclash, Meltt, Felix Cartel, Ruby Waters, and LUN.
