Mr. Smalls Presents

Bathe Alone
Special Guest: Valleyview

Thursday, October 17, 2024

Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA

Bathe Alone is the dream pop moniker of multi-instrumentalist Bailey Crone. Taking shape in Atlanta, her haunting approach to songwriting and delicate vocal deliveries often draw comparisons to Beach House, Mitski, and The xx.

Carving her way into the Peach State's indie scene as a teenager, Crone picked up drums, guitar, and bass early on — eventually discovering a distinct identity and connection to each instrument. With a drumming vocabulary more akin to the punk world and ambient guitar drenched in delay, the foundations for Bathe Alone were starting to crystallize.

After tinkering and fine tuning her sound even further, Crone enlisted the help of producer Damon Moon, who immediately recognized an untapped potential in the project. Within months they completed what would become Bathe Alone's 2021 debut LP, Last Looks. Their double EP, Fall With The Lights Down, followed in 2023 via Nettwerk Music Group — leading to tour dates with Beabadoobee, Vacations, Last Dinosaurs, and Bombay Bicycle Club.

The band's new album, I Don't Do Humidity, hit shelves in June of 2024 — receiving praise from outlets like SPIN Magazine, Paste, and Under The Radar (along with notable fellow musicians John Mayer and Sharon Van Etten). A captivating collection of songs unpacking Crone's recent divorce, it's the most raw, experimental, and personal project of her career, bound to resonate with anyone who has experienced daunting betrayal and found a way to rebuild.

Lea Marra & The River Boys
Special Guests: Slag Mountain, The Laurel Lowlifes

Thursday, November 07, 2024

Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA
Lea Marra has been writing and performing music since the age of ten. Marra studied music from Seton Hill University and has her BA in Music Therapy. Her writing inspirations derive from nature, life experiences and relationships. Marra's songwriting is influenced by music such as the Cranberries, Sixpence None The Richer, The Chicks, Shania Twain, Susan Tredeschi, Sierra Ferrel, and Hot Rize to name a few. Marra started Lea Marra & The Dream Catchers in 2019. The band started out as an electric folk/pop/alt country band with a total of seven members. Marra had to rebuild the band in 2021 after her Sophomore album release, due to many of the members departing from LM & TDC. In that time, the Dream Catchers evolved into a string band, which currently includes mandolin, banjo, upright bass, and three part harmonies at times. The band adopted the genre name, "Porch Folk". As time went on and with the many changes of the line up of the band as well as the genre of the music, Marra decided to change the name of the band to Lea Marra & The River Boys in 2023. Lea Marra & The River Boys are a five piece folkgrass band that provides grassy licks, strong vocals, and heartfelt lyrics. Lea Marra & The River Boys have taken the stage at many festivals and venues such as Pittsburgh Three Rivers Art Fest, Lazy Daisy Festival, Paw Paw Festival, Waterloo Arts Fest, Larchmere PorchFest, Southgate House Revival, Rebel Rebel, The Beachland Ballroom, The Grog Shop, and many others. Lea Marra & The River Boys will surely get your feet stomping at their show!

The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA
Animal Scream are Pittsburgh Doom Pop artists founded by Chad Monticue & Josh Sickels, joined by multi-instrumentalist Caleb Pogyor. The band combines sound design with a psych-pop psychedelia that’s dark and cinematic, a noir-tinted sound in thrall to the eternal groove. Influences vary from David Lynch, MF DOOM, and ’60s reggae to woozy film scores carving out nocturnal soundscapes for the alienated and brokenhearted. Yet the supernatural dimension of Animal Scream’s music never belies the emotional core underneath.

This show will also celebrate new releases from Chariot Fade and Jackson Scott!

Brian Dunne
Special Guests: TBA

Thursday, November 14, 2024

Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA
Brian Dunne is not your grandma’s antiseptic, pseudo baby boomer singer songwriter. Known for his laugh-to-keep-from-crying, darkly humorous lyrics, Dunne’s work reconfigures the limiting nature of the genre into something less cotton candy young love, more burn down the banks. This DIY ethos, born from a healthy New York cynicism self-conceptualized, funded, and dragged to every willing venue, found an easy home at Kill Rock Stars along the likes of The Decemberists, Jeff Hanson, and Sleater-Kinney. Releasing his fourth album in early 2023, his first on KRS, Dunne is bending the sounds of American rock into masterfully composed, existentially poignant, wildly catchy renderings of being alive.

The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA
The Markers are an original three-piece rock band hailing from Pittsburgh, blending a dynamic mix of punk rock, garage rock, stoner rock, and classic rock 'n' roll. The band is known for its raw energy and gritty sound, driven by the powerful drumming and vocals of Kc Milliken, the deep, grooving basslines and vocals of Shawn Watrous, and the searing guitar work of Marty McElroy, who also contributes backing vocals.

Kc and Shawn share the spotlight as lead vocalists, delivering a one-two punch that adds a unique depth to their music. Shawn, originally from the West Coast, brings a creative edge to the band as an accomplished painter, infusing his artistic sensibilities into the band's visual and lyrical aesthetic. Meanwhile, Kc and Marty, both Pittsburgh lifers, ground the band with their deep roots in the city's vibrant music scene.

The Markers' music is a reflection of their diverse influences and the raw, unfiltered spirit of rock ‘n’ roll, making them a standout act in Pittsburgh's underground music scene.
