Queer Night Presents: RELAAY
RELAAY is an indie pop band from Louisville, KY. They strive to make the kind of music that they would have loved listening to as teenagers. But more importantly, RELAAY is being the band they needed to see when they were young. Audrey Cecil and Amanda Lucas have been through a lot. Together. Having met as young kids in Kentucky in the late ‘90s, where being different was generally discouraged, and rigid norms steamrolled young people who didn’t fit neatly in conventional boxes, Audrey and Amanda have forged a life-long friendship and creative partnership — one based in shared struggles — in an unforgiving, male-dominated industry. In their coming of age, they had no access to music and entertainment that truly reflected queer culture or identities. They strive to be the representation they needed as kids by showing up as who they are without reservation. Audrey and Amanda's contrasting personalities aid in creating music that doesn't feel genre-specific. These personality differences peek through in the studio and on stage, where their sibling-like relationship truly shines.
This night is all about community! Welcoming queer identifying people + allies to celebrate and strengthen Santa Fe queer communities. Our goal is to create a space that is intentionally queer-centered, initiated and inspired by members of our Queer-identifying team and community.
Come on out every Monday at La Reina to meet like-minded members of the community. A portion of sales every Monday will support Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico. Transgender Resource Center New Mexico provides advocacy, education, and direct services in support of transgender, gender nonconforming, nonbinary, and gender variant people and their families.
*Ask our bartenders to make our cocktails into a mocktail + fun non-alcoholic options!
