Scarypoolparty Livestreaming Three Shows From The Wiltern, With Crew Nation Benefit VIP Gig

Scarypoolparty will perform two full live sets with a band, the first at The Wiltern since March, along with the 5 p.m. Crew Nation acoustic benefit. 

Fans who join early will enjoy a virtual backstage pass to the show with multiple cameras set up throughout the venue capturing live behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the artist before the show starts. 

These live concerts will feature first class show production including LED visuals. The concert is produced by Live Nation.

The first live stream concert will take place at 12pm PT/3pm ET/8pm BT with the second at 6pm PT/9pm ET.

Scarypoolparty, aka Alejandro Aranda, quickly went from doing his very first headlining concerts in his native Southern California to being on the brink of selling out 30 dates on his first true tour.

“I feel grateful that I’ve kind of cleared the bar, from playing bars as a no one to playing one of the biggest festivals in the world,” he told Pollstar last year after landing a spot on Lollapalooza. 

His manager, Jonathan Shank who recently formed his own Terrapin Station Entertainment company, says the livestream phenomenon has evolved a lot since the pandemic hit in March.

“The first few months were really rooted in people playing in their living rooms and we’ve certainly seen some incredible platforms emerge and festivals really raise  the bar in terms of production,” Shank told Pollstar a few weeks ago. “I think that’s going to continue to work. There’s some spontaneity to that and it does have the feeling of a communal experience. That really is the key to the livestreams – how to make them feel like communal experiences as opposed to existing in a vacuum.

“Another thing I’ll say is as an industry we all need to be supporting our local venues. Getting our local artists to livestream from our local venues is one of the most important things we can be doing now. That’s something I’m working personally on right now – to try to get some of our artists to do livestream shows – no-audience performances – but inside iconic venues. We need to support these facilities and venue owners and all of the crew and staff that are such an important part of our ecosystem. We all know that the longer this pandemic goes on, the more venues are going to be affected. “
