The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Cay Is Okay's long-awaited debut LP, Housekeeping comes from years-long efforts across sociopolitical landscapes and personal growth milestones. Through rock with punk and pop elements, the album addresses the queer brown experience in a cishet white world through the lens of frontperson Cay Davis's birth chart. 'Housekeeping' references the astrological houses as well as individual participation in the perpetuation/breaking of oppressive systems.

This album will be released through a pair of performances in recognition of the cycle of life and death. The Life Show at the Clinton Street Theater on 1/28 celebrates the album breathing life independent from the artist and falls on the artist's birthday. The Death Show on 2/2 at Mississippi Studios marks the project's completion and allows for a new cycle to begin. This date also commemorates the 20th anniversary of the artist's dad's passing.

Cay Is Okay will perform as a four-piece, accompanied by other PNW QTBIPOC-led projects. Kusikia will join for the Clinton show on 1/28, playing together for the first time in 13 years as a three-piece. The Mississippi show on 2/2 will be joined by local acts Dim Wit and Shanea.

In an effort to be accessible and inclusive, the artists request you wear a high-quality KN95/N95 mask. Masks will be available if you are not able to bring your own. High-quality air filters will be running in the space.  ASL interpretation for Cay Is Okay's sets will be provided; on 1/28, Kusikia will also have ASL interpretation.
