SPACE/TIME with MOON KISSED, BETWEEN GIANTS, and samkae

Welcome to SPACE/TIME, a place beyond, inbetween, and further than your usual expectations of a night out on the town with a rock'n'roll band. And support a historic New York City civic institution while doing it!

THE EXPERIENCE:
Start the night by walking through a time capsule of old New York City. A reliquary is usually a place to lay the bones of deceased saints, but The City Reliquary is a dark and mysterious little museum full to the ceilings with the unexpected histories of the city we all love.

Then, find yourself in our expansive and magical backyard, crawling with murals, sculpture, performance, and art of all kinds from your Brooklyn community. Our nooks and crannies might have more than you’d expect. Really, we expect a flash tattoo artist, typewriter poet, polaroid portraitist, and more!

THE PERFORMERS:

Moon Kissed
emily, khaya, and leah met at a new year’s party on the lower east side in new york city. their debut album, aptly named ‘i met my band at a new year’s party’, draws upon themes of youth, heartbreak, and the quiet power behind vulnerability. it features infectious hooks, virtuosic synth lines, and unique drum melodies. the producer, khaya, takes inspiration from acts like Chairlift, Charlie XCX, Grimes, and St. Vincent; and feels a deep connection to the soundscape she’s created for each of the songs.

this band is sheer, unadulterated energy. the connection between them is undeniable, and actually palpable in the air when they perform. since meeting on new year’s of 2019, they have played countless sweaty, intense shows all around Brooklyn, Manhattan, the east coast, and were touring in the south on the way to SXSW when the pandemic hit. the purpose of their shows is to create a moment, to hone the magic that happens between audience and performer when music is going on. it is cathartic, exhilarating, and intimate. plus, leah falls in love with someone in the audience at every show, which adds an element of surprise.

Between Giants
hi we're hans pat tyler and guy, your new favorite band of indie rock degenerates' with

We are capping attendance to provide ample space for social distancing. A limited number of (masked) people will be permitted indoors for restrooms, or to browse the museum collections.

Face masks must be worn at all times. Guests may remove masks outdoors when they are seated or to drink.

Hand sanitizer will be available for all.

ACCESSIBILITY
The main entrance and indoor museum are entirely flat, but there are 4 steps up and 4 steps down to the backyard. The backyard is uneven with some platforms, but a paved area near the entrance is available with a view of the stage.

If the price is keeping you from coming to the show, contact us and we will do our best to help, no questions asked.

Email Charlotte at charlotte.chauvin.97@gmail.com with any questions or needs, and we'll be happy to figure out if and how we can accommodate you.

WHAT IS THE CITY RELIQUARY?
Reliquaries typically house the ostensible bones of dead saints. We house the bones of New York City. From seltzer bottles to schist cores, to roller skates from racially integrated rinks, to a burnt out lightbulb from the Statue of Liberty's torch. These artifacts as the backdrop, we aim to support artists and our Brooklyn community with a plethora of creative and cultural programming.

WHY MEMBERSHIP?
In exchange for your ongoing support as a member, you'll receive free admission to the museum as often as you care to visit, free tickets to all events, free beverages when possible, and—we hope— a tiny New York City historical institution to call your own.

Sustaining monthly memberships help us predict our finances, and survive through and beyond this pandemic. We are entirely volunteer-run and currently have no paid staff. Our community means the world to us, and we would love for you to be a part of it.

If you are not yet a member and buy a ticket, you will be asked after payment if you would like to contribute your ticket price toward membership. What a deal!

WHAT ELSE?
Please come prepared to tip the performers via cash, Venmo, or Cash App.

Drinks can be purchased from our bar with cash (preferred) or Venmo.
