TUSHIE MIXES THE “Y’ALLTERNATIVE” sounds of COUNTRY ROCK AND COW-PUNK, then SPIKES THE PUNCH WITH RAZOR SHARP LYRICS AND GRITTY SASS.
BASED IN Los Angeles, CA, Andrew “Smallz” Small and Holly Anne Mitchell are a creative powerhouse couple with a midlife crisis—are we going to have kids? The answer: “LET’S HAVE A BAND INSTEAD!”
Holly WAS elbow deep in the experimental theater scene FOR YEARS, writin’ / starrin’ in / producin’ three musicals AND a solo indie-pop EP “Holly Hollows”, which debuted in 2024 to critical acclaim.
Smallz HAS A STORIED CAREER AS A HOLLYWOOD photographer and COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR AND was the lead guitarist in Holly’s musical: outro (a PSYCHEDELIC country musical).
It was during outro they REALIZED EACH OTHER’S mutual love OF country.
Poof, tushie was born. YER’ welcome, world.
“MUSIC TO YOUR REARS”
“WHAT ARE THEY LIKE LIVE?”
TUSHIE BRINGS THE ORNERY, PLAYFUL ENERGY OF AN UNTAMED BRONCO TO THE STAGE AIMING TO “RIDE EM HARD AND HANG EM UP WET”
HOLLY COMMANDS THE LEAD VOCAL SPOT AND IS FREQUENTLY SEEN BELTING ANGELIC NOTES WHILE LASSOING THE MIC CORD AND DANCING LIKE A CAMPFIRE FLAME ON (AND OFF) STAGE.
SMALLZ’s vocals are the perfect compliment to holly’s powerhouse. he shreds guitar like a gunfighter in a shootout. hide your husbands, there are usually a few dudes hangin’ out after the show droolin’ over his guitar tone AND kilt fashion.
geremy’s bass bringS more pleasure than sitting on the washer during the spin cycle. if he ever breaks a string, you’ll hear moans of sweet relief from the back row.
talk about locked n’ loaded… andrew (drums) is a human metronome. it’s been said he once saved an old lady by restarting her pacemaker with his KICK drum. ready? ….1-2-3-go!

WHAT TUSHIE BRINGS TO THE TABLE
CROWD SIZE: THEY’VE been playing for 50-150 CAPACITY venues, and are always looking to step-up as THEIR following grows!
Professionalism and polish: TUSHIE IS MORE THAN happy to create THEIR own flyers for the show if VENUES/PROMOTERS don’t have someone in-house already. Smallz is the brain behind THE brand and design.
GEAR KNOWLEDGE / flexible working with EXISTING backlineS: ALWAYS Happy to chat in advance with your sound engineer about anything NEEDED to create the best experience for THE VENUE!
FOUR-PIECE FOOTPRINT: A TUSHIE LIVE SET CONSISTS OF DRUMS, BASS, AND TWO MICS (WITH SMALLZ ALSO ON GUITAR)
*FWIW… ANDREW (drummer) has been known to set up extremely fast AND CONSTANTLY GETS COMPLIMENTS FOR “NOT PLAYING TOO LOUD” FROM VENUE OWNERS! LOL*
SET TIMES - THEY currently have a 60 minute set dialed in and ready to go, but are more than happy to fill any opening slots with shorter timelines in order to play your awesome VENUES!
BONUS: NEED PEOPLE TO BUY MORE FOOD OR DRINKS DURING THE SHOW? JUST SAY THE WORD AND THEY’LL HAPPILY DIRECT PEOPLE TO FILL THEIR TANKS (AND TIP AMPLY)!

typical stage plot
Two mic stands placed roughly 6 feet apart, centered, at the front of the stage. Both mics with a touch of reverb balanced volume.
Mic on stage left with a boom-arm and a power drop so the guitar pedal board can sit below it.
mic on stage right on a straight mic stage with as long of a cable as the venue can muster. holly likes to run around!
The Guitar amp will be 5-10 feet behind the mics and slightly more stage-left. Smallz usually brings a 50-watt solid-state amp which should be mic’d.
The Bass player and amp will occupy stage right/rear and he can also split his signal to run DI to the house Bass one more power drop at this spot for the bass pedalboard.
The drums ARE ideally rear/center stage between the microphones.
