Well, let’s try this again! We are stoked to be playing a Matinee show at Tone Deaf Records with the newly minted band, Deep Tunnel Project who are alumni of Tar, Silkworm, Bottomless Pit, Blatant Dissent….and more! Anyway, a FREE afternoon show with some fine fine music coming your way. See your masked faces there.
COVID NOTE: show has been postponed from Sun Jan 16th to Sun Feb 20th.
HI FRIENDS, Unfortunately, due to Covid Delta intersecting our collective orbit, SMALL AWESOME will NOT be traveling KZ MI for what would have been just a lively dang time. We are vaxxed and have negative tests and are healthly personally, but there is just enough going on in the equation that it makes total sense to remove any x-factors.Welcome to the newest state of our currently liminal world! Please continue to support vaccinations, masking and other guidelines that will allow us all to get to a stable plateau. We’ll just keep working on our next record! You will see us in the future.
Best, Small (Jim) Awesome (Faiz)

Greetings Michiganders and wayward state neighbors, Small Awesome is playing our first show since [INSERT PANDEMIC HERE] and are excited to set foot in Kalamazoo for a free outdoor show (tip the touring bands, please) Sat Aug 14th. Come on out if’n you can:
Heads-up, heads. Tomorrow sees the release of the PRF/BLM benefit compilation that features a fresh new Small Awesome song, “Be Nice” among other fresh new things. 37 songs for $10 or more if’n you’d like, with all funds going to Brave Space Alliance and My Block, My Hood, My City. Tomorrow, Bandcamp is waiving all of their fees, so it’s the day to purchase for maximum benefit. Link here!

We had the distinct privilege of being able to record “Be Nice” with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio. Steve graciously waived his fees and we can’t thank him enough. Salut!
Small Awesome is pleased to announce our first Chicago show in an age. We’re playing a FREE show at the Long Room with our buddy Calvin on Sunday Oct 27th. New music, older music, and just music in general is promised.
And we are out from hiding! Nice to be back. Our first course of action is to run off into the woods for the 4th PRF Campout. We did one a few years back, and it was sublime. Won’t you run off into the woods of Mattawan, MI and join us? We play Saturday Oct 19th
Greetings! Couldn’t be more thrilled to announce that Small Awesome will be playing at Green Mill Cocktail Lounge this Wednesday, Sep 12th as the musical guest for The Paper Machete cocktail hour. We will be book-ending the lefty variety show with a couple short sets. The show is FREE, runs a tight hour and a half, and fills up quick, so get there early. Show is at 6:30 SHARP.
Saw you up there:
Small Awesome will be playing live, but prerecorded on CAN TV’s show, Rock Opera. Filmed the day after the PRF BBQ at their studios, Rock Opera was conceived and directed by the talented BJ Allen. We go on at 10:00 CST Aug 30th, but here’s some sneaks of the taping:
We are pleased to be playing the 10th annual Summer PRF BBQ.
