Penn State’s Student Programming Association (SPA) announced that the indie-pop band Smallpools will come to Alumni Hall in the HUB for a free show on April 8. The show starts at 10 p.m. and requires no ticket, just a valid Penn State student ID.
Smallpools first gained recognition with the release of the band’s self-titled EP in 2013, off which came its most popular song “Dreaming,” which has racked up over 27 million listens on Spotify, and has been turned into a popular remix by the Chainsmokers. The band releases its first, and so far only, full-length album in 2015 called “Lovetap!” and has subsequently toured all around the country.
While not currently on tour, the band has made occasional stops to college campuses across the country while working on its second album.
is a senior Supply Chain Management major with an Economics minor (Read: Business Douche) from South Jersey. He has an intense fear of graduating so please don't bring it up. He writes about stupid things nobody cares about, and student life if the site is low on content that is clearly supposed be funny but is really very unfunny. He is lovingly (?) known around the staff as Baby Mike which may or may not be because he has a child (hint: it’s not). He’s also a second generation Penn Stater who has been wearing Penn State sweatshirts since before he was two, a habit he hasn’t grown out of. If you really hate yourself, you can follow him on twitter at @mike_reisman or email him at [email protected]
