A “new normal” has arrived at the indianapolis concert halls, where fitness protocols represent the highlight with the artists of the coronavirus pandemic.
IndyStar attended exhibitions last weekend at Black Circle Brewing Co., Mousetrap and Hi-Fi. Each venue featured outdoor music, the preferred environment for social distance and air circulation.
On July 23, Mayor Joe Hogsett announced a public fitness ordinance that closed bars and nightclubs until August 12 and nightclubs are closed.
On July 24, rock bands SlideCat Royale and Robots – Magic Powers performed in front of 60 others in Black Circle, 2201 E. The new grass functionality area at 46th St. Black Circle is dubbed “Beer Creek”, a nod to the original Ruoff Music Center: Deer Creek call.
“It looks like the world is collapsing,” singer and guitarist Seth “SlideCat” Stimson told audiences. “But here we are, together.”
Here’s what to expect when attending a show at these venues:
Although the Black Circle’s fenced lawn has become a logical way to do business with the pandemic, owner Jesse Rice had originally expected the area to be a charm along the long Nickel Plate Trail.
The recreation trail from Noblesville will line Black Circle to the east when a final phase extends 62nd Street to the Indiana State Fairgrounds at 39th Street. Until now, the removal of train tracks and ties are the paintings made on this component of the trail.
“This will replace a little of our visitor base and traffic,” said Rice, who used the first few weeks of home orders to paint at “Beer Creek” a year ahead of schedule.
A new 40 x 15 wood level faces east of the construction of the 46 Refinery that houses Black Circle. Members of the public can bring garden chairs to sit on the lawn that descends to the level, and picnic tables should be held on the flat floor to the south.
The aesthetic is “a wonderful mounting position in the garden”. A face mask is required when entering Black Circle to order drinks or go to the bathroom.
Meals are served in Cuban cuisine Elena Ruz, next to Black Circle at Refinery 46.
There is no admission to “Beer Creek” musical shows.
“I don’t want to call politics because we want other people to come right away,” Rice said.
On August 7, Lucy Furr will be held at the site. For more information, blackcirclebrewing.com.
The mouse trap parking lot, east of Keystone Avenue on 56th Street, is giant enough for 180 music enthusiasts to grow some distance away.
Esa es la cantidad de otras personas que llegaron aquí el 24 de julio para una funcionalidad a través del notable y agradecido actor de Grateful Dead, Hyryder.
Temperatures were checked for everyone at the entrance, and participants can simply between a purple bracelet to approach the level or an orange bracelet to “relax”. Like Black Circle, Mousetrap participants enter construction to buy drinks and make a stop in the bathrooms.

The level is a terrace with railing that allows the separation between the musicians and the participants.
“It’s my duty to check to give everyone an environment where they can feel comfortable,” said Mike Quarto, owner of Mousetrap. “I hope you’ve completed this.”
During Hyryder’s show, at least one visitor evicted for repeated non-compliance with dressing in a face mask. Quarto stated that this is not a smart scenario for the user who asked to leave, but the example can have a positive effect on other participants.
Hyryder will perform encore concerts at Mousetrap Car Park on July 31 and August 1. For more information, trapindy.com.
Until October, the parking lot of the Murphy Art Center, 1043 Virginia Ave., will be known as the Hi-Fi Annex. It is an outdoor counterpart to the hi-fi place known for taking the artists on excursions to Fountain Square.
Hi-fi channel owner Josh Baker and his team have built the annex as an independent entity that broadcasts a music festival atmosphere. The level is designed from a shipping container, and the smaller shipping boxes house the workplace of the box and the sound equipment.
Drinks are sold at the motor park and portable toilets are available on site. Pure Eatery, another tenant in the Murphy Building, sells food in the annex.
On July 25, singer and guitarist Bobby Donnelly concluded a four-act exhibition announced as “Local Music Git Down”. About 60 other people ended Donnelly’s performance, many of whom entered a mandatory mask domain near the level at the end of the night.
Baker said participants get a “unique warning” if they use a face cover in this area, and expulsion occurs with a violation at the moment.
Prior to the upcoming forstory performances (August 7) and the recent Battle of the Bands Champion, the Palace (August 15), the Annex plans to load sail tarns to provide shade in the car park. For more information, hifiindy.com.
