SMALLPOOLS IN CONCERT:
Indie power pop quartet Smallpools brings a healthy dose of California sunshine to the stage at their unforgettable performances. The band oozes positive vibes as they bust out hook-heavy, synth-happy summer anthems like hit single "Dreaming". Frontman Sean Scanlon's funny onstage banter and quirky moves are impossible not to love, leaving ticket buyers smitten and smiling ear-to-ear. Though Smallpools is relatively new to the scene, they're already building a reputation as a must-see live act thanks to their energetic on-stage presence and dance-worthy sets.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Los Angeles-based indie pop collective Smallpools has made a colossal impression on the music world in an astoundingly short time. The group came together in 2013 after New Jersey guitarist Mike Kamerman and New York singer Sean Scanlon moved to Los Angeles to pursue their love of music. They quickly linked up with bassist Joe Intile and drummer Beau Kuther, who had just arrived in LA from Oregon. Within a year the group had built a huge following on music blog Hype Machine and earned a deal with RCA Records. In July 2014 they released their self-titled debut EP, an auspicious debut that featured four upbeat, hook-heavy tunes produced by L.A. trio Captain Cuts. The EP's hit single "Dreaming" reached mainstream audiences thanks to featured spots in video game FIFA 14 and hit show "The Vampire Diaries". Since making their live debut at the Brooklyn Bowl in summer 2014, Smallpools has performed at Lollapalooza and opened for major indie acts including Walk The Moon, Neon Trees, Magic Man, and Two Door Cinema Club.
The Duck Room is a fun venue. It feels like your friend’s cool basement. You’re close to the artists and it is a community event. Smallpools were good. I’d seen them in Chicago previously and this felt like the same concert. The venue was much more intimate and it’s always a good show.
Beautiful setlist and the performance was flawless, high energy all the way through. Both morgxn and Smallpools were extremely interactive with the crowd! Performance quality was unreal. 10/10
First time seeing Smallpools live and I was not disappointed! They sound great live, very close to their recordings, and they bring a ton of energy!
This was my first concert since COVID started and it did not disappoint. The process was seamless, the venue was intimate and the band was awesome. Great overall!
I never heard of them till i went to see third eye blind in Phili. They were really good and made me an instant fan. looked them up on the ride home and couldn't believe they sound way better in concert than their recorded songs. Was really funny watching a blow up whale fly around hitting everyone in the back of the head! hope to see you guys again.
Watched them open for third eye blind in Reno Nevada at the GSRhotel! Great energy! Amazing vibes. My husband and i are fans and Hope to see them soon.♥️
They opened for a band and blew them away... Seriously a major fan now. I listen daily and introduce them to everyone. I cant wait to see you guys again. Get some dates up!!!!
The concert was great. The staff was friendly from beginning to end and things were well organized. The two opening acts were entertaining and got the enthusiastic crowd even more enthusiastic. Smallpools put on an amazing show. So much energy and so fun. The crowd sang along and jumped up and down. I think everyone had a great time. The only complaint about the House of Blues Cambridge room is that is was hotter than hell in there! I'm usually cold everywhere I go, so for me to be hot, is unusual. I was dying! Some of my friends who are usually hot everywhere they go would not have been able to stand and it and would have had to have left. Come on guys, it's Texas! Crank the AC!!
At first I was skeptical on going since it was a Tuesday but I’m glad I went to experience it they interacted with the crowd a lot and their music did not disappoint
Smallpools was amazingggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this was the best show i've ever been to—i've seen smallpools before, but this time they were somehow even better than before. the venue was perfect, intimate but not not claustrophobic. easily the most fun i've ever had at a show. i can't say enough good things, everything was perfect.
The concert was amazing. The only complaint I would have is that there was a very long break between the first and second group, and I was getting impatient waiting for everything to be set up. I think the process could have definitely been faster. The concert also didn’t start until 7:30, but it was supposed to be 7.
I LOVE SMALLPOOLS! They were amazing and played almost all of my favorite songs. The opening band, Half The Animal, was good but they were a little too loud. If you're planning on going to a concert here make sure to get there early so you can stand in the front row and really see the band!
I would definitely say that was my favorite concert ever! I had a blast!
Very cool meeting the band before the show - the guys were great! The performance was very good and a lot of fun! Can't wait to see them again.
One of the best live venues ever. Great, clean, safe venue , intimate and awesome!! Their show is just a great experience!! Love when they get personal and upclose with the fans!! Makes the night worth every penny!!
My goodness. The sound guy must have terrible hearing. The bass was turned up wayyyyy too high for Great Good Fine Ok. We had to leave the show early with how painful it was to our ears. The sound was perfect for Half the Animal.
I personally thought Smallpools was very interactive with the crowd which always make concerts 10x more fun. They are a very talented band and I would love to see them again and can’t wait for any new music they make.
Great show. Would definitely go see them again. In fact, I hope they come back to a Dallas soon! They deserve a bigger venue but so awesome to see them up close and personal.
Showed up early got right up in front of the stage. Went deaf for days but was worth every minute ornate being deaf.
