“$5” is the first track in their upcoming album Make It Out Alive. This is the indie rock band’s first new music since 2018. They also share their new music video for “$5” directed by drummer Dan Epand. 

“We’ve all somehow come back together by some cosmic force for the rebirth of Nico Vega. There is a chemistry inside the dynamic of the four of us that is deep and explosive and we couldn’t be more excited as we step into this new beginning,” said Nico Vega in a press release.

The band plans to tour heavily in light of their new single and album. They recently made appearances at the C3 party at SXSW in Austin and New York’s Mercury Lounge. The band will be at the Moroccan lounge in Los Angeles on April 3. They also announced a string of summer dates for Lollapalooza.
