As cities began to take the necessary steps to contain the spread of the virus, smaller acts began to experience the changing landscape of live music amid postponements and cancellations. Artists coped with the pandemic in a variety of ways. In Savannah, we saw many bands use the downtime to write and record, while some prioritized solo projects. Others opted for a semi-permanent – we hope – hiatus to reflect and possibly adapt and transform. In the case of Atlanta-based, indie-pop band DOTS, formerly stylized as DOT.S, the pandemic put the brakes on a year that was meant to be spent touring. However, despite the drastic change in plans, DOTS never stopped spinning their wheels.
