Why can't the band do a remote Tiny Desk from Australia? I've seen other acts do remote Tiny Desks during the height of COVID. If a lockdown is stopping Hiatus Kaiyote from flying to the US, just use current technology to record and upload the performance to the Tiny Desk folks.

I don't see the problem here.
