NANAIMO'S BACKYARD//UNDERGROUND MUSIC FESTIVAL
HANK PINE & BOSS SAINT B
Vancouver and Victoria
Hank Pine is a queer Canadian multi-instrumentalist blending hip-hop, punk, rock, dark cabaret, disco, and theatrical performance. Known for his work with Lily Fawn among many others, he merges storytelling, glam visuals, and RAW ENERGY, exploring existentialism and fantasy through bold DIY artistry.
Boss Saint B is a theatre and performance powerhouse, clown instructor, and rapper that blends real stories, melodic hooks, and West Coast swagger, delivering raw energy, ambition, and authentic Canadian hip-hop vibes with global appeal. She opened for Peaches in Vancouver on her world tour, and Jimbo the Drag Clown. She is also the director on Jimbo’s World Tour and the original tour of international Theatrical hit Ride the Cyclone.
DJ Opptimus Pine—more machine than man—exists where intergalactic improv, theatrical hip hop, and RAW ENERGY overlap. Part performance, part ambience, all heart. Bringing thunderous beats, surgical precision, and boundary-pushing soundscapes to festival stages.
Together the three of them bring spectacle, gravitas, and a transcendent dance party! And, of course RAW ENERGY. They are also nice, friendly, and not insane. They are based out of Vancouver and Victoria BC, respectively.
