The aforementioned establishments are members of the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA), whose aim is to “preserve and nurture the ecosystem of independent live music venues and promoters throughout the United States”.
Speaking to NME upon the release of their new record, Diet Cig’s Alex Luciano discussed what the return of live music could look like post-coronavirus.
âItâs gonna be so blissful. I think everyoneâs gonna be so happy to be there, and weâre gonna have so many tricks up our sleeves,” she said.
“Weâre gonna have more time to really hone in on all the things we were planning for the Spring tour: weâll have some synchronised dance move situations happening. So itâs gonna be awesome, I think and really joyous.â
Noah Bowman added: âAs soon as the day comes, I feel like my soul is just gonna explode.â
