Fotocrime – SECURITY TOUR
Rated Eye, Some Faith

Friday, April 10, 2026

Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA
Exploding with melodic and pummeling industrial-tinged post-punk, Louisville dark punk stalwarts FOTOCRIME erupt in an unexpectedly aggressive tone on their new album, Security. This more guitar-driven direction may seem like a pivot, but to those in the know it’s inherent in Fotocrime leader Ryan Patterson’s musical history and DNA. Patterson is a musician, producer, visual artist, and creative force behind Coliseum, Cat Magic Punks, Black Cross, and Shirt Killer, amongst many other bands and endeavors.

Formed in 2017, Fotocrime have released five EPs and four albums, and on their fifth LP, 2026’s Security, Patterson is joined by new members Benjamin Clark (formerly of Elliott) on guitar and David Cundiff on bass. Filled with tales of overblown machismo at the nuclear chess board and honest living in a corrupt world, Security is rife with sentiments of paranoia and impending doom. Despite the darkness, Fotocrime always strikes a chord of elation with their man-vs-machine electronic-meets-organic industrial punk.

Igor and the Red Elvises
Special Guest: The Yeggs

Wednesday, April 15, 2026

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

Igor Yuzov was born in Germany, raised in Ukraine and studied in Russia. He grew up in the former Soviet Union, where folk music was the norm and rock’n’roll was illegal. A rebellious streak, led him to seek out the forbidden music. As soon as it became possible, Igor left Russia for America with his “Folk’n’Roll” band Limpopo, and was personally greeted by Ronald Reagan. In 1993, Limpopo won Ed McMahon’s Star Search and their popularity began to blossom. In 1995, Igor dreamed that Elvis Presley came to him and told him to start playing rock’n’roll. Igor and his Russian friends became Red Elvises and gave street performances on Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade. As their crowds grew larger, the City of Santa Monica ordered them to discontinue their street performances. Evolving over the years, Igor’s music has been labeled “Siberian Surf Rock” which contains humorous lyrics and grooves that forces his audience to dance. Over the past 20 years, Red Elvises have constantly toured all over the world with occasional breaks to record new music and to participate in film and television projects.

As an independent band, Red Elvises have produced 12 studio albums, two live albums, a live concert DVD, and a Greatest Hits compilation. Some of their most notable film contributions include music and or performances in “Six String Samurai”, “Mail Order Bride”, “Armageddon”, “Skippy”, “Melrose Place”, “Fastlane”, “Penn and Teller’s Sin City Extravaganza”, “VH-1 Behind the Music”, and “MTV”. Red Elvises have performed for large festivals, private parties, and played on massive stages such as 2005’s Live 8 Benefit Concert. No matter where they perform, Igor & Red Elvises always bring the party with them.

Cole Chaney x The Local Honeys

Friday, April 17, 2026

Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA
Originally from Boyd County, KY, Chaney has since relocated to Lexington and is sure to be the next big thing coming out of Kentucky. At only 21 years old, Chaney’s catalog may be small, but he already boasts an absolute masterpiece of an album in which he proves wise beyond his years.

Mercy, his debut album released in 2021, is a 12-song showcase of Eastern Kentucky, blue collar anthems highlighted by Chaney’s deft lyricism and storytelling. An unknown musician prior to the album’s release, Chaney has since experienced a meteoric rise in popularity and has quickly amassed a growing and dedicated fan base, already thirsty for new music.

​The Local Honeys are a Kentucky bred duo specializing in the traditional music of their home state. Comprised of Linda Jean Stokley on guitar and old time fiddle and Montana Hobbs on banjo, the two have developed a sweet melding of instrumental and vocal blending that sounds like the bluegrass kissing the mountains. Dedicated to the preservation of regional traditional Kentucky music, The Local Honeys also compose original music that tells the stories, trials and songs of the mountains and people of southern Appalachia. Hobbs and Stokley made history in 2015 when they became the first two women to earn Bachelor of Arts from Morehead State University from the Kentucky Center for Traditional Music. They are versatile in their performance and able to captivate audiences while educating them on the rich history of Kentucky folk music.

Vacation Manor
Special Guest: Rhineland

Thursday, April 23, 2026

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

Since 2016, Vacation Manor combine an artful blend of eloquent lyricism, alternative experimentation, indie rock energy, and unassuming pop appeal. The duo—Nathan Towles [guitar, vocals] and Cole Young [drums]—have earned acclaim from American Songwriter, Atwood, and more. Now, they pull fans deeper into their embrace on their 2025 EP [Nettwerk].

“We value people above all,” adds Nathan. “For us, our music is always better when we can involve our good friends in the process and experience something together. That in and of itself feels like a success for us.”

This community grasped onto the music and never let go. Vacation Manor emerged with the Girl, Say EP highlighted by “Careless” and the breakout “A Toast and a Spirit.” The pair progressed over the course of Everything I Can’t Say Out Loud [2019] and Vacation Manor [2021]. Along the way, they toured alongside Briston Maroney and Night Traveler, in addition to performing at festivals such as Bright Shade Music & Arts Festival. The guys carefully assembled what would become the EP over two years. This time around, songs represented “different landmarks” in their shared and individual experiences. Recording out of a home studio in Virginia, Nathan and Cole self-produced the tracks, nodding to inspirations a la Oasis and The Sundays.

In the end, Vacation Manor’s community will only continue to grow. “With anything we put out, we want to give people language to the things that they’re experiencing too,” Nathan leaves off. “It’s a way for us all to process life.”

Fantastic Cat
Special Guest: Michaela Anne

Wednesday, April 29, 2026

Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA
Hailed by Rolling Stone as “the supergroup you need to know,” Fantastic Cat emerged to broad critical acclaim with the release of their irreverent debut, The Very Best of Fantastic Cat, which earned the instrument-swapping, vocal-trading four-piece their first national TV appearance, sold out headline dates around the US and Europe, a performance at the Sundance Film Festival, and a song in the Paramount+ series Tulsa King. Two years later, they followed it up with the similarly lauded Now That’s What I Call Fantastic Cat, which featured an appearance from Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz, landed the band dates with Dawes and Lucius, and prompted WFUV to declare them “one of the best Americana and rock bands to tumble out of New York over the last few years.”

Now, Fantastic Cat has defied the odds—and their therapists’ strong recommendations—to return with their third and finest album yet, Cat Out Of Hell. Produced by the band and mixed by D. James Goodwin (Goose, Kevin Morby, The Hold Steady), the collection elevates Fantastic Cat’s trademark blend of craftsmanship and chaos to new sonic heights, capturing the freewheeling, lightning in a bottle energy of their must-see live show and channeling it into a ramshackle house party full of existential searchers, desperate romantics, and barstool philosophers.

Individually, each member of Fantastic Cat boasts their own impressive resume including appearances everywhere from the New York Times and the Tiny Desk to Bonnaroo and Cayamo. NPR said Anthony D’Amato “sings and writes in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen or Josh Ritter.” Pitchfork called Brian Dunne’s new album “wise and poetic,” declaring that “every song sounds like his life depends on it.” Paste proclaimed Don DiLego's latest record a "stunner,” and Rolling Stone praised Mike Montali’s band, Hollis Brown, as “the soundtrack for a late-night drive through the American heartland."

Together, they form a four-headed songwriting hydra, one with the lush harmonies of CSNY, the playful wit of The Traveling Wilburys, and the relentless interpersonal strife of the Eagles.

Gully Boys
Special Guests: Sleeping Witch & Saturn, Petsitter

Friday, May 08, 2026

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

The Gully Boys origin story begins in the aisles of a Minneapolis thrift shop. Vocalist/guitarist Kathy Callahan (she/her) and co-worker Nadirah McGill (they/them) spent their days sharing dreams and building a friendship amongst racks of forgotten treasures. When Kathy confided her desire to sing in a band, it set off a groundswell of events: Nadi grabbed a pair of drumsticks, and the two invited middle school friend Natalie Klemond (she/her) to join on bass. From there, a cover of Best Coast’s “Girlfriend” marked the start of a journey fueled by undeniable chemistry, channeling the raw energy of legends like No Doubt, Garbage, and Hole into a sound that’s galvanizingly Gully.

Two years of relentless gigging followed, and earned Gully Boys the Best New Band crown by their local Minneapolis City Pages in 2018, shortly after the release of their debut demo collection, Not So Brave. Their anticipated follow-up EP, Phony, arrived in late 2019, just months before the live music world came to a halt. Inspired by this break in the action, the band added lead guitarist Mariah Mercedes (they/them), and worked with producer Zach Zurn at Carpet Booth Studio to release their Favorite Son EP (2021) and standout singles “See You See” (2022) and “Optimist” (2023).

Grounded in a bond as fierce as their sound, Gully Boys’ electrifying live performances have earned them spots on SXSW stages, Audiotree sessions, and tours alongside Nova Twins, Motion City Soundtrack, Destroy Boys, Bad Bad Hats, and more. From the iconic stage at Minneapolis’ First Avenue to national gigs that defy expectations, Gully Boys capture an ethos of equal parts anger and tenderness—fueling a journey that feels like it’s just getting started.

Tuesday, May 19, 2026

Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA
Halloween’s “Shadow House” is a conceptual record about the compartmentalization of the Sub-conscience. The record as a whole is a cerebral experience that focuses on the hidden side of the mind. Despite being riddled with uncertainty and despair, the songs still express hope. The tedious efforts of Justus Proffit create a Multi-dimensional and multi-formatted Sonic pallet. Some parts are recorded from home Digitally, while some parts are ripped from the old demos on cassette tape. The album is to be experienced in its entirety.

Vinyl Williams X HOTT MT – Star Harmony Tour 2026
Special Guests: Astrology Now

Friday, June 05, 2026

Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA
Almost two decades into his career, Lionel (Vinyl) Williams is an enduring fixture of the psychedelic scene. He unveiled his Vinyl Williams alias in 2007, immediately establishing the blueprint for a sound that shimmers like bioluminescent glitter. With releases on labels including Chaz Bear’s Company Records, Requiem Pour Un Twister, and Harmony Records, Williams translates vast, galactic concepts into cosmic sonic textures. It seems fitting that Williams is the inventor of a system for understanding relationships called Musical Astrology — an app that allows you to hear the music of your birthdays, as well as the precise musical pitches of the planets in relation to Earth, on any given day.

HOTT MT (Hour Of The Time Majesty Twelve) is an experimental pop group based in Los Angeles. Duo Nick (Spooky) Logie and Ash (Ashi) Allard make an introspective psychedelic fantasy awash in fuzz guitar, new age synth and ethereal vocals.

Since their formation in 2012 the group has collaborated withThe Flaming Lips, Ke$ha, and many artists in their local DIY community. The band’s 5th full length album is set to be released in May 2026. Titled “Haunted House”, the record was recorded and engineered by Spooky and Ashi and was mixed by Shags Chamberlain (Pearl and the Oysters, Weyes Blood).

Dylan LeBlanc
Special Guest: Carlyle Griffin

Friday, June 12, 2026

Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA
Dylan LeBlanc is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who often finds himself flirting with the edge — or “dancing on a razor,” as he calls it — as it is all he has ever known. A verdict vagabond since he was a little boy tossed between Texas, Louisiana and Alabama, LeBlanc thrives on the precipice, never staying in one place for too long. It is that nomadic spirit that drew him not only to a life as a touring musician, but also to the beast that titles his newest record: ‘Coyote.’

LeBlanc says he has always related to the insatiable, scavenging nature of the wily coyote. Much like the animal, LeBlanc is a wanderer who knows when to trust his instincts, musically and otherwise. It is a spiritual kinship that runs deep, but he credits one particularly hair-raising face-to-face instance with solidifying his bond with the animal.
