What is SMALLTIME?
What do you do when you've got a band packed with talent, charisma, and chemistry? Well, you name it, of course.
But, this whole naming the band thing doesn't have to end up like a deleted scene from Spinal Tap. After all, we didn’t want as serious a moniker as Black Sabbath, or as silly as The Monkees, so where’s the middle ground?

Having lived through what we consider the heyday of rock music (1964-1975), we also understand it's all about the art of the song, and we're crazy enough to believe we still have something left to say.
Rock-and-roll music has always been perceived as rebellious.

- Fact: We're a bit more distinguished than other rock bands making the scene.
- Fact: We never want to leave the stage until we've given everything to the audience.
- Fact: WE ROCK LIKE it’s 1969.
- Fact: Pop stars will come and go, but honest, simply delivered rock-and-roll will never go out of style.
