Lily Ray
Lily Ray started her career as a musician in the early 2000s as a rock drummer in popular San Francisco bands Two Seconds and Elephone. She performed at major festivals such as SXSW and BFD, and released albums on San Francisco labels Popsmear Records and Talking House Productions.
After moving to New York in 2008, Lily has continued to perform in various indie rock bands while also finding opportunities to transition her music production into the electronic music community. This evolution ultimately led her towards learning how to DJ, a logical transition after a lifetime of creating and perfecting unique rhythms.
She now brings her deep, dancey DJ sets to venues around New York City, including clubs such as The Panther Room, the Tribeca Grand, TBA Brooklyn, Bizarre, Bossa Nova Civic Club, and many underground parties. She also has a monthly residency at the popular East Village club, Keybar.
The rest of it — one more paragraph
Lily is currently experimenting with incorporating live electronic drumming into her productions. The great-grand-niece of the artist Man Ray, she is hugely inspired philosophy and way of life presented by the Dada movement, and channels this through all of her musical pursuits.

Their rooms
One tick a night, on the one axis this page has — Aug 2023, where the listings start, to Jan 2027, the last night anybody has announced. The shaded end has not happened yet.
- KEYBARDec 2023 – Aug 20253 nights
- Dead Letter No. 9Mar 2025 – Aug 20252 nights
Once each: The House, Gama Lounge, Dada and LoHi. One of the 10 listings never named a room, and is not counted as one.
Who they play with
Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.
