The entire rig takes two tractor trailers to transport, a far cry from the van of a year before, and part of an operation that Krewella’s other manager, Nathan Lim, describes jokingly as “an expensive marketing tool.” But both he and Udell agree that this tour is not about “getting rich.” Rarely has the world of EDM witnessed a group skyrocket to fame as fast as. “At our first meeting when VSquared mentioned the concept of building the crystals out of mirrors, my eyes lit up and I immediately became infatuated with pushing the boundary of possibilities.” PHOTOS / RECAP: Krewella GET WET Album Release Party Exchange, Los Angeles 9/24/13. “We decided to pursue the idea of crystals because we felt they represented the rock vibe of the group,” explains Jake Udell, one of the group’s managers. The Get Wet tour makes good use of this magic, placing both women literally front and center as much as possible, keeping the choreography to the minimum, and allowing the spectacular light show of the structure behind and beneath them to showcase their swagger.ĭesigned by Vello Virkhaus and Amanda Hamilton of V Squared Labs and constructed by Stefano Novelli, the Volcano is a 30 by 18 foot structure of LED mapped crystal-like compartments, made of two-way reflective material that allow for the appearance to change from the inside – an effect being called “reflection mapping.” While Jahan and Yasmine spend the majority of their time on stage in front of the Volcano, they also climb its hidden steps to the DJ booth/mixing stations, appearing as though they are ascending a mountain. Krewella Get Wet (2013) Posted by On September - 23 - 2013. On social media, in meet-and-greets and in the press, Trindl and the Yousaf sisters have been able to shine as the rare dance music stars who are “just like us” in the eyes of their young fans. A huge part of Krewella’s appeal is the relatability of its members. Whenever Trindl does come back, there is not only space for him on The Volcano (two different platforms accommodate a DJ booth that Jahan mostly uses in his absence) but also in the hearts of the group’s fanbase.

Though the group promises he remains a part of the full performance that is Krewella and will be on tour with them again soon, there is no date set yet for his return. While he is expected to join the Yousaf sisters on tour, the pace of the past year has led to a bout of exhaustion.
Absent from this rehearsal as well as several recent tour dates has been the male third of Krewella, Kris “Rain Man” Trindl. Since then, the group has signed to Columbia, relocated to Los Angeles and teamed with Richy Jackson, known for his work with Lady Gaga, on the show’s creative direction. It was only a year ago that this trio of Chicago natives were ping-ponging across the country in a van, often without the luxury of a bed and a shower in between shows. New songs like “We Go Down” get a full court delivery in their original form while older tracks like “Killin It” and “Play Hard” are presented in a remix form (“We have some great remixers, so why not?” Jahan says). While “Live For The Night” hasn’t yet matched the success of their breakthrough hit “Alive,” the rest of their new album is a hit parade, designed for the kind of epic performances this tour demands.
