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.

“It’s gonna be so blissful. I think everyone’s gonna be so happy to be there, and we’re gonna have so many tricks up our sleeves,” she said.

“We’re gonna have more time to really hone in on all the things we were planning for the Spring tour: we’ll have some synchronised dance move situations happening. So it’s gonna be awesome, I think and really joyous.”

Noah Bowman added: “As soon as the day comes, I feel like my soul is just gonna explode.”
