Drive-In Concert

Drive-in Concert was a live performance held in a van in a parking lot—broadcast hyper-locally via shortwave fm-transmitter — for us to gather safely—isolated, yet together via the comfort of our own vehicles.

Organized in collaboration with Jeremiah Chiu, Ben Babbitt and Booker Stardrum with support from Dublab.

When our residency at Zebulon was postponed due to coronavirus-related restrictions on public gatherings, we decided to organize a “drive-in concert” as an alternative. Around 100 cars attended the drive-in concert and about 900 people tuned in via instagram live.
