Boston-based Carny Rock: MIGHTY TINY
« on: July 04, 2009, 11:00:02 PM »
Editing this post periodically to display the most recent information:


Heya strangers, long time no nothin'.  I come here partly out of the selfishness of supporting my comrades, partly out of consideration for you - I can verrrry easily see Dolls' fans digging this act, both the music and the performance techniques.


So!  If you remember me from back in the day, you know how discriminating I am with my music, and you know how seriously I take physical theater.  These folk put on a SHOW.  They are a new band, just formed last autumn, but they are already turning heads in Boston and NYC.  Come out, rock out, drink in this much-needed injection of new blood in the Boston music scene!




MYSPACE!: http://www.myspace.com/mightytinyband

WEBSITE!:  http://mightytinymusic.com




Their upcoming shows are currently as follows:


November 13th, Harper's Ferry, Allston/Boston, MA
Supporting That 1 Guy!
18+, 8:00 PM, $12



And if you or your buddies are proud residents of Allston Rock City, they play a fuckton of house shows around the area... so keep your ears to the ground.


Here's an advert they made for their July 9th appearance at the MidEastUP - there's a track from their EP:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/6L2Wjdg-TOU" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/6L2Wjdg-TOU</a>




Traditional gypsy, 20's jazz, classic blues, and roots bluegrass all inform the twisted web of foot stompin throat hollerin messy bloody lovely dark carnival fun that is MIGHTY TINY.  Instruments are violin, accordion, guitars, bass, and drums, the cast is smarmy swaggering top-hatted showman, broken dolls, razor-sharp sprites [one elegant and puckish, the other a silent blank-faced demon], a looming judge of souls, and the look is Venetian masks, tailored dress, keys, charcoal and blood, reds blacks blues and golds.

I can attest that these guys are great performers, and I will be there on July 9th.

I saw them once play to a fairly small audience, on Easter Sunday, of all days, and they still gave all of their heart.

My favorite person to watch is the second guy who does some fucking beautiful and graceful things with his body as he plays. It's hard to explain beyond it being a sort of creeping and slinking that goes along with the songs being played. The music is very theatrical, and I really can't describe it any better than scarletdulcinea described it above.  There are so many different styles being brought together.

I enjoyed myself a lot last time I went, I was dancing my heart out and watching a very, very good show being put on.  And... I was inspired to write poetry afterwards, which is always a sign of a good experience.

I imagine most people who like the Dresden Dolls, or musically speaking, bigger bands like Luminescent Orchestrii, for example, would really, really like these guys.

They seem entertaining....  Now if they'll just travel a few states southward...

I'm not quick to co-sign either, but Mighty Tiny is a great show.

I plan to re-activate this topic from time to time as developments occur and new performance dates added, so I will definitely keep you advised when they begin traveling further than Brooklyn!  I know they'd love to get around eeeeeeverywhere, but they are still in the very early stage of making a name for themselves, and as you probably know, touring don't come easy.   However, they've come pretty far already for only being a composite entity since last autumn, so I'm personally excited to see how quickly "the future" may be upon us.


Thanks for the support and interest, guys!

Hey all!  Just a quick reminder about Mighty Tiny's set at All Asia in Cambridge this Thursday as part of a series by CNC Music Productions.  The night begins at 7:00 and goes until closing.  21+.

Two of Mighty Tiny's members will be out of town, and it will be a very, very casual set, so if you're looking for a wham-bam introduction to these folk, this isn't the show for you.  But if you're in Cambridge looking for something to do this Thursday - welcome!


What Mighty Tiny is reallllly gearing up for amid the slew of house shows with which they've been keeping busy is their EP Release on August 28th at Cafe 939 in Boston!  I got my greedy paws on the EP early and I can firmly say that even without the intense immersion of a live show, this is your new favorite band.

Also, amid the carnival of jugglers and unicyclists to be present on the 28th, my friend Samara [you may know her from Providence-area Brigading] and I are going to be performing as a pair of diabolical sprites.  Mmmmmmmhm.

Let me know if you know the set times for this Thursday... but I will definitely plan on being there for August 28th, unless I'm with the 'rentals, moving.

this sounds like something i'd like. anything that has influence by 20's jazz and gypsy music is pretty much fair game for me to love.

seeing as i don't like driving in boston, i may see about training in for the 28th show, or the halloween show (although i may have rehearsal that night so we'll see).
