TUSHIE collides the y’allternative underground with high-velocity cow-punk and slow-burning country-noir. Secured by razor-sharp lyrics and existential dread, the 4-piece weaves from blistering speed to heavy twang with a witty tongue-in-cheek bite. They bridge the gap between menace and barroom humor, turning dark storytelling into a loud, high-energy party built for the outcasts.
FRONTED BY CREATIVE POWERHOUSES HOLLY HOLLOWS AND ANDREW “SMALLZ” SMALL, THE 4-PIECE DELIVERS CHEEKY, DARKLY COMIC TRACKS TO THE OUTCASTS, THE WEIRDOS, AND THE “Y’ALLTERNATIVE” UNDERGROUND. FROM HIGH-VELOCITY ANTHEMS TO DARK, SLOW-BURNING COUNTRY-NOIR, TUSHIE SERVES COUNTRY MUSIC TRADITIONS WITH AN L.A. PUNK ATTITUDE.
THE ARCHITECTS
Co-frontwoman Holly Anne Mitchell cuts through the noise with a fiercely theatrical vocal presence forged deep within the experimental theater circuit, having written, produced, and starred in three original stage musicals alongside her critically acclaimed 2024 solo release, Holly Hollows.
Guitarist and co-frontman “Smallz” anchors the band’s raw sonic identity with a storied background as a prominent Hollywood photographer / commercial director. The pair first fused their mutual obsession with underground country while performing in “outro” a psychedelic, country, stage musical. That creative friction sparked the formation of TUSHIE, cementing a permanent commitment to raw, boundary-pushing subculture music.
Poof, tushie was born. YER’ welcome, world.

THE LIVE EXPERIENCE
A TUSHIE live set is a high-octane, theatrical spectacle that commands the room from the first downbeat. The band delivers an inclusive, explosive performance style that bridges the gap between traditional country showmanship and raw, boundary-pushing underground punk energy.
Holly Anne Mitchell (Lead Vocals): Commands the front line with a fierce, unpredictable stage presence rooted in experimental theater. Mitchell masterfully shifts from angelic vocal control to raw punk belts, utilizing the entire stage… and the floor… as her canvas.
Andrew "Smallz" Small (Vocals/Guitar): Delivers the sonic backbone of the band with razor-sharp, cinematic guitar leads. Smallz provides a gritty vocal counterpoint to Mitchell's powerhouse delivery, anchoring the front line with signature showmanship, distinct kilt fashion, and meticulously dialed guitar tones.
Geremy (Bass): Provides a heavy, driving low-end foundation that gives the band's slow-burning tracks their menacing weight and keeps the high-velocity anthems locked in.
Andrew (Drums): Operates as the band's absolute human metronome, driving blistering cow-punk tempos with relentless precision and dynamic volume control that keeps the room's energy at an absolute peak.
