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.

If you want an auditory taste, go ahead and listen to the demo tracks they have on their myspace [ http://www.myspace.com/mightytinyband ], or watch the vid at the top of page one for a track off the new EP.


Thanks for the interest!

HERE

WE

GO



This Friday, August 28th, Berklee Cafe 939 [@ 939 Boylston Street, Boston]

8:00 PM, ALL AGES, tickets $10 [purchase online here, or avoid Ticketmaster's fuckery by visiting the Berklee Performance Center box office at 136 Massachusetts Avenue 10am-6pm Monday-Saturday]

MIGHTY TINY with:
Shoney Lamar & The Equal Rights
Mrs. Danvers


It is going to knock yer socks off.  I can't stress enough how much you should come!  It's a very intimate venue, and there's a chance it may sell out [yes, everyone is hungry for this show!], so if you can, get your grubby fingers on your tickets in advance.


Hurrah!

Late notice, but - !


This Thursday, October 1st, Mighty Tiny will be taking the stage at Cambridge's Lizard Lounge with Goli [Vess & Val of Fluttr Effect!]  Doors are at 8:30, 21+, $10.

And I hope y'all have your calendars marked for the Halloween Show with Caspian on October 29th at The Middle East Upstairs.  It's going to be splendid fun.


Annnnnnnnnd,

Mighty Tiny's long-anticipated EP, Eat People, is for sale on their website!!

Mosey on over to http://mightytinymusic.com and click on "store."  They also have a Demo available for FREE download, so check it out!!

The release show on August 28th couldn't have been better, by the way.  Thanks to everyone who came out!




I'll leave you with a little love note from the band's myspace blog:


Dear You,

We of Mighty Tiny just can't get enough of you, our listeners. And there is nothing more that would please us than to please you. And there is nothing more we can do to please you than perform for you. And in order to perform for you, you have to know what's going on with us.

It was this very deduction that led me to believe I should keep you delightful individuals in the know. So, after nearly 18 months of pondering, pacing, and thoughtfully smoking a pipe, I decided to go mad. After a 3 year stay at an asylum, I was considered well enough to once more exist in society, and after a brief position as a cashier at a Piggly Wiggly in Higginsville, Missouri, I realized I should start a blog.

Of course, I entered insanity with such vigor, I had only actually been within the depths of madness for several hours, and have never even been to Missouri. I figure, why half-ass it?

So, my esteemed colleagues, here's the rub.

In less than one week's time, you can be a part of yet another Mighty Tiny expedition at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, MA. You will most possibly be amused, and we will most amusingly be possible. The doors are at 8:30 and the festivities begin at 9. Alongside us shall be DJ Phillips, Kate Miller Heidke and Keir Nutall (on tour with Ben Folds), and the lovely Goli. Our new EP "Eat People.", and free copies of our demo will be served alongside it simply for coming to see us.

Stick with me here...

Also coming up is a Halloween show at the Middle East (actually on October 29th) with Caspian, and, holy lord, we're just thrilled. Seriously, we are. It will be glorious, and it's the best Holiday invented since Flag Day.

Also on the burner is a possible show in November with Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band, and one in December with New York-based Copal. Both potentially amazing experiences. More details will follow, I'm sure.

Until then, it has been a pleasure, nay, an honor to update you astonishing, astounding, and, frankly, awe-inspiring individuals (thank you thesaurus.com). And, until our paths once more coincide, do take, care, won't you?

Thanks to those who came out last week!  The show was rockin'.


Another love note from Mighty Tiny to you:





For those of you tuning in from last week, you might remember that our old friend Detective Dolles was posing as a security guard in a mint to catch the counterfeiting bandit when he was locked in a closet. Well he escaped from that very closet and acted just in time to stop the shipment of false coins, proving that you can never be too careful when it comes to close quarters!

Good day ladies and gentlemen, hes shes and zhes, Mighty Tiny here keeping you informed on our escapades and shenanigans but as always, not our exploits. Thank you dearly to the whole lot of you who joined us at the Lizard Lounge on the first to celebrate just about anything worth drinking and celebrating over. Surely you were regaled by our friends D.J. Philips, Kate Miller Heidke & Keir Nutall, and the ever-charming Goli. If you weren't, shame on you, we expect you to make it up to us. We enjoy cookies and cakes and are delightfully devoid of food and nut allergies, so please make any baked goods out to your friends in Mighty Tiny, and make sure to mail them in a wicker basket with a red checkered table cloth or the post office will not take them. I cannot stress that enough! They will rot in the post office. The letter carries aren't even allowed to eat them as per a law recently pushed through by the department of homeland insecurity.

Friends (and if you are not our friend we respectfully request that you close your browser now and clear your history as this is really something tender to be shared amongst close acquaintances) we here at Mighty Tiny absolutely love you. By god we are crazy about you. Talking to a three legged dog crazy dammit! And because we love you so very much we are throwing a Halloween Gala at the Middle East Upstairs just for you. You may not realize but we operate on the old Etruscan Calendar and hence our Halloween falls on your October 29th, but no matter what method you use to enumerate your days and nights (ours is in fact a tidal calendar) we hope with all the whimsy and grand designs of a kid in a puppy store to see each and every one of you. Make sure to come dressed in your best Halloween attire as well! You know that we love our costumes and being the polyamorous group that we are, we will love the lot of you even more than usual if you show up and truly join the Masquerade!

So on this coming Halloween we do have a few surprises for you, and I would love to ruin a couple for right here and now! If you are among the first fifteen lucky folks to sign our mailing list you will be rewarded with a free Mighty Tiny sticker! These things are so damn new we can't even show you a picture of them, so hot off the presses you'll burn all your fingers and toes!* Oh and don't sign it a second time if you already have because it causes a rip in spacetime and we are, quite frankly, tired of sewing it shut. We aren't your mother you know! Furthermore the first fifteen people to buy our EP Eat People get not only the finger-melting sticker, but a sexy 8.5"x11" poster of your friends in Mighty Tiny. This fantastic poster comes complete with black magic so we know exactly when you copy rip and share our EP with the torrent community at large, and if you think we called it Eat People on a whim you will be sorely (and deliciously) mistaken!



In summation friends, come to the Middle East Upstairs, in costume, October 29th! Come and watch us praise the musical gods along with Caspian, Dreamtigers and Beware of Safety, all top notch performers! Finally, come buy our cd and sign our mailing list and be rewarded with presents! What could be better?


Don't even answer that, the definitive answer is that nothing could be better.



See you soon, (or so help me Gods)


Mighty Tiny

Thanks to all who came out to last week's SOLD OUT show with Caspian at The Middle East!  If you missed out [tickets were long gone hours before doors], or you simply can't get enough, they are playing another show next Friday, the 13th of November at Harper's Ferry in Allston, supporting the phenomenal That 1 Guy.

[If you don't know who That 1 Guy is, you are seriously missing out: classically trained double bassist who invented a one man band contraption called The Magic Pipe, a seven-foot tall collection of steel plumbing pipes and joints, orchestral bass strings, and electronics. His songs range the subjects of raining meat, how the moon is disgusting [it's made of cheese!], various fruits and mustaches.]

Mighty Tiny opened for That 1 Guy last spring, and he liked them so much he invited them back.  Won't you join the party?



Friday November 13th
Harper's Ferry
18+, $12, 8:00 PM Doors

Love note!:


    
Tales of Wizards and Gizzards

Indulge me a bit my captive audience of gregarious gagglers.  Years ago in this past March, Mighty Tiny happened upon the strangest of fellows on a dark and winding road.  Perhaps it was in a swamp down in Mississippi or high above the continent out in Colorado, or possibly at the Middle East Upstairs in Cambridge Massachusetts, but we were there and much to our shock we stumbled upon the most mysterious of troubadours.  He gave us no name, only the secretive handle of That 1 Guy and he noticed on us the distinct Mark of the Albatross (Chapter 4771), our magical guild/sanctioning body/union.  Rolling up his sleeve to reveal his branding of the Silver Monkeys (Chapter 17) and thus revealing himself as a friend, we engaged into a lively chat which developed into a wonderful jam session, then a minor disagreement, a possible scuffle, and finally a fond and friendly hug.  Before the night was over we engaged in the proper farewell which would bind us to meet should again we found ourselves in the same city, and continuing along our journey we left him to play his magical pipe by his lonesome.


Years (or roughly 8 months) have passed...
 

That 1 Guy has decided to return to Boston and, aren’t you lucky good ol’ Mighty Tiny’ins, your friends at Mighty Tiny (thanks to our proper use of magic) will again be playing along side this magnificent man.  Yes friend, this Friday November 13th, you will bear witness to the spectacle which is Mighty Tiny, playing with Heatbox and That 1 Guy at Harper’s Ferry.  Now I know what you are asking yourselves, curious observers.  You ask “But how can I get tickets to this wonderful event?  Will I be able to get my little brother in to help me steal things?  Is it legal to own a possum as a pet in the state of Arizona?” and I have answers for the lot of these.  Tickets can be obtained through the Harper’s Ferry website (http://www.harpersferryboston.com/).  Your little brother can get in so long as he is at least eighteen years of age and while possums are usually not considered a legal pet it is crucial that you check with your local municipality.


Now, some of the above details may have been a little fabricated to stave off certain inquiries by the Council of The Albatross, but I assure you that this Friday at Harper’s Ferry, you will find Mighty Tiny, Heatbox and the wizardly That 1 Guy, complete with shenanigans and magic pipe.  We hope dearly to see you all, each and every one of you and we will be making a list.  Christmas is coming you know, and if you think a band like us doesn’t have a direct line to Santa Claus then you are sorely mistaken.  So if you want presents this year you had better make sure to come out this Friday, because in the end Santa hates poor attendance.


'Till then,

-D
