Rivkah Reyes (EP Release Show & Party)
Rivkah Reyes
The Sultan Room234 Starr Street, New York 11237
Rivkah Reyes brings their EP release show and party to The Sultan Room, celebrating the debut EP Fan Favorite. Best known to many as Katie, the bassist in School of Rock, Reyes now fronts their own band for a release-night set. The venue describes the occasion as “very gay, very loud,” framing it as both a performance and a party built around the new record.
Reyes is an actor and musician known for playing Katie, the bassist in School of Rock. This show marks a move to the front of their own band and a first EP under their own name, with Fan Favorite at the center of the night. The listing characterizes the music as “bratty,” while presenting Reyes as an artist stepping from a widely recognized screen role into a band-leading release show.
Conceived as the nightclub counterpart to a resurrected 1930s Wisconsin supper club, this 201-capacity venue pairs elaborate retro-futuristic decor with a high-end d&b audiotechnik sound system, functioning seamlessly as both a live performance stage and a late-night dance spot. The room centers around a sunken floor where crowds gather right against the low stage, flanked by small peripheral booths for seated listeners during quieter sets. Shows are ticketed in advance, with programming shifting between live touring bands, global ensembles, and late-night DJ sets that keep the floor active past 2:00 AM. Between sets, patrons can order drinks from the full bar, step up to the rooftop terrace, or grab a late-night bite from the attached Döner Kebab counter and neighboring dining room.
