Mr. Smalls Presents

Ok Cowgirl
Special Guests: Colatura, Velvet Overkill, Mila Moon

Wednesday, December 11, 2024

Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA
The music of indie rock four-piece Ok Cowgirl exists at an intersection of lyric-driven catharsis and dreamy, guitar-centric ecstasy; a sonic representation of a specific kind of bliss endemic to a live setting. Fronted by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Leah Lavigne and backed by Matt Birkenholz on drums, Jase Hottenroth on bass, and Jake Sabinsky on guitar, the Brooklyn-based project draws upon a collective decades’ worth of experience playing and working in the New York scene. Sourcing inspiration from the members’ respective engagements with DIY communities in cities like Minneapolis, Detroit, and Brooklyn, Ok Cowgirl’s studio output reflects the outfit’s genesis as a live band, crystallizing around instrumental and vocal passages that spurred genuine reactions from crowd's past.

The end result is a thunderous, triumphant, and ultimately honest blend of lyrical candor and raw electric performance — music that the band describes as both “a place for reprieve and catharsis” and the type of tracks well-suited for “dancing, crying, and then dancing again.”

Wax Jaw is a trans-fronted punk and new-wave band from Philadelphia. Buzz surrounding the band is fueled by their high-octane live shows, where it’s not unusual for members to dive into the crowd after taking command of the stage with a fierce and unbridled enthusiasm. Whether fans want to dance or thrash, Wax Jaw brings enough raw energy and BPM to get the blood pumping. Led by charismatic frontman Shane Morgan, the band has already cut their teeth alongside psych-rock titans Wine Lips, brit-punk royalty Bad Nerves, and indie angels Shannon and the Clams.

Mr. Smalls Presents

Been Stellar
With Special Guest: Malice K

Saturday, January 11, 2025

Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA
Scream from New York, NY, the first album by Been Stellar, is a remarkably brutal debut – bruised and volatile, it captures an image of ‘20s New York that’s unrelenting and harsh, where tenderness is a finite resource burned up by the machinery of the city and human connection is a luxury product. Leaving behind the driving shoegaze of their early recordings, the NYC-based five-piece tap into the disaffected sound and spirit of New York luminaries like Sonic Youth and Interpol, as well as the nihilistic, yearning cool of Iceage and Bends-era Radiohead, striking upon a sound that’s fearsome, buffeting and beautiful at the same time – a tidal wave as viewed from underneath.

Mr. Smalls Presents

Main Street Detour “Becoming Someone You Knew” Album Release
Special Guests: Heading North, Crash Nebula, My Favorite Liar

Saturday, January 18, 2025

Doors: 6:30 pm / Show: 7:30 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA


Main Street Detour is a 4-piece pop-punk/emo outfit out of Pittsburgh, PA known for raw and emotionally-charged lyricism. With moody and dynamic soundscapes, they make you question life’s milestones - the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of growing up. Their small town roots inspire their values of community that they carry with them as they unite and uplift their local music scene. The boys have opened up for budding acts such as Chase Petra and Carly Cosgrove, as well as long-followed acts like The Dangerous Summer and Belmont. The dichotomy of their work lies in the fact that their lyrics confront the hardship and heart-wrenching truths of young adulthood while providing instrumentation you can jump around to and forget them for a little while. The band is composed of bassist and vocalist Shane Cepull, guitarist and vocalist Niko Vasilatos, drummer Dan Falk, and, newest addition, lead guitarist Carter Payne.

Along with a relentless touring schedule Joey has most recently been working on his 4th studio album The Art of Revenge which released March 1st 2024. The album will see a cross country tour to support the release starting in March of 2024.

Known for his deep and poignant lyrics telling stories of joy, love, loss and sadness, Joey brings the human experience to life through his relentless tour schedule that culminated in the release of Live at Buffalo Iron Works in 2018. 2020 brought new challenges but Joey responded with writing and recording new music and released his album Storyboard in March of 2021. Immediately following the release of Storyboard, he started work on his follow up album Salt and Tar which was released in spring 2022. Catch him on tour now or online at joeyharkummusic.com.

Mr. Smalls Presents

Dylan LeBlanc x David Ramirez

Saturday, February 01, 2025

Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA
Dylan LeBlanc
Dylan LeBlanc is engaging and soft-spoken in person, yet his striking new album Renegade reflects the power of his live show – one that he simply describes as rock ‘n’ roll. While the album was recorded in just 10 days and tracked in three, the intensity of the project marks the culmination of more than a decade on the road.

“I like the idea of a renegade -- branching off from society or from the structure of the way our world is designed,” he says of Renegade, his first album for ATO Records. “It felt right to call it that. I wanted to write about the crueler, nasty aspects of the world and life.”

David Ramirez
The Austin, TX-based singer-songwriter—whose decades-long career has seen six full length studio albums, three EPs, countless collaborations, and an illustrious supergroup project in Glorietta—spent a season of rest away from his focus on writing songs. In the wake of the end of a long relationship, he wanted to prioritize processing his grief as a human, not as an artist bleeding on the page.

David’s new record “All the Not So Gentle Reminders,” which comes out March 21, 2025 via Blue Corn Music is exactly what he was waiting for. The 12-song album is an expansive succession of dreamlike songs that tell his stories, yes—but more than anything lean into the possibilities of the trip that music can take us on.“I’ve been a songwriter for a long time. I love words and stories. But this was about music. I wanted the long musical intros and outros [as on “Dirty Martini”, “Twin Sized Beds”, “A Bigger World”, and “Dreams Come True”] to contribute to the stories and be apart of them.”

Mr. Smalls Presents

Robert Ellis

Tuesday, February 18, 2025

Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale, PA
Recorded live to tape in just two days, Robert Ellis’s exquisite new album, Yesterday’s News, is as stripped-down as it gets, with the celebrated songwriter and producer’s delicate, reedy tenor accompanied only by nylon string guitar, upright bass, and the occasional piece of handheld percussion. The arrangements are harmonically sophisticated here, drawing on the open tunings and intricate fingerpicking of English songwriters like Nick Drake or Richard Thompson, and Ellis’s performances are similarly subtle and nuanced, tapping into the bittersweet longing of Chet Baker and the playful poignancy of Bill Evans and Jim Hall.

While that might seem surprising coming off 2019’s raucous Texas Piano Man, subverting expectations is nothing new for Ellis. Born and raised outside Houston, he gained early acclaim for his piercing introspection and absorbing narratives, but over the course of five solo albums, he flirted with everything from Paul Simon and John Prine to Elton John and Joni Mitchell in a series of sonic and visual transformations that ran the gamut from Redneck Steely Dan to Lone Star Liberace. NPR hailed his “musical daring and impeccable songcraft,” while Rolling Stone praised his “sharp eye for storytelling,” and the New York Times lauded his writing as an emotional “gut punch.”

Yesterday’s News marks Ellis’s debut LP for Niles City Records, an outgrowth of the famed Niles City Sound studio he and longtime collaborator Josh Block run in Fort Worth, TX.
