It merges. It slaps a snaggle tooth out of a skunk sans toothbrush. Tiny is a trio with an acoustic guitar that Jason plays like an electric. Paula plays a mean bass and sings a sweet melody. Pete plays the drums like a chimpanzee on speed, which is actually a good thing. We all write songs. We all fall down. The resulting web of beauty and complexity has even the most accomplished San Francisco musicians nodding approvingly. How did we meet? Funny you ask. Tiny was born out of a mutual and undying love for Vic Chesnutt. Enough said. Tiny has been around for a while, but everyone says this is the best Tiny. We can only hope and nod, wondering what came before. Tiny's debut EP, "The Same Old Thing" is an exploration of three musical visions. Evoking a dark americana, the voices of Jason and Paula work miracles over their heartfelt soul searching songs of lost loves and rappled addictions. There is hope in them there words, a wisdom torn from years of struggle within the realities of cities and circles. And what band bio would be complete without the requisite name-dropping? Local rock star Eric McFadden contributed mandolin to the record. George Clinton expressed interest in producing it. Tiny has also been known to share stages, studios, and barstools with Dave Schools (Widespread Panic), Mike Mills (REM), Pat MacDonald (Timbuk 3), John Parish (PJ Harvey, Sparklehorse), Ben Mise (Counting Crows), Syd Straw, R.K. Sloane, Jackson Browne and, of course, Vic Chesnutt. The trio, recently returned from an explosive European tour is seriously considering summering in Barcelona... |
