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.

Ahoy! Small Awesome has been a live band for eight years,
so we’re celebrating with a FREE show @ the Long Room (1612 W Irving Pk)
Sunday April 15th, Two sets, starts at 8pm, they serve food, and there’s no cover.
Come on out!

Hey! We’re playing a benefit for a Syrian family
organized by the Welcoming Committee with RefugeeOne
Us with some special guests and then the Columbines, DJ, Raffle Prizes,
Merriment. And all for a great cause.

Small Awesome is throwing a Birthday Party for their full-length album, SONGER with Milwaukee’s hypnotic Gay Name. The show is ALL-AGES. There will be streamers and balloons and records. There Will Be Cake.

The fine folk at Just The Tip wrote this nice review of Small Awesome’s new record, SONGER a bit back, and we’re just seeing it now.

There’s a slow and steady hand behind everything Small Awesome does, to go with surprising and clever depth. They shine light from every angle on a sparse, obtuse take on melodic folk music.

Enjoy! Also, buy our record.
