Live music and events have pretty much been canceled for the indefinite future due to the Covid19 pandemic. We’ll list online events here when we get enough notice for them. Till then take care of each other, wash your hands, and put on a damn face mask before you go out.
Check out the Save Our Stages website from the National Independent Venue Association to help preserve independent live music venues in the US, which are in danger of closing due to the pandemic.
And wear a fucking mask when you go out! Covering up your nasty disease-spewing face holes will help end this pandemic sooner, which means we can have live events again.
