“It is what it is…” Simple words that are well suited for the way My Little Radio came together as a band. After years of playing music in and around the city of Boston, the members of MLR seemed to simply find each other by chance.
MLR released their debut full length, My Little Radio (2007), on February 2 , 2007 to a sold out crowd at TT The Bear’s Place in Cambridge, Ma. It was produced by legendary British producer/engineer/all-around-amazing-person Matthew Ellard ( Weezer, Converge, Mighty Mighty Bostones, Elliott Smith, Between the Buried and Me, etc).
MLR has kept busy in the last year or so playing at such venues/festivals as Milwaukee Summerfest, The Halifax Pop Explosion, The International Pop Overthrow, The NEMO Boston Music Awards (nominated for best local rock band, best local female vocalist), CBGB’s, NXNE, and many more.

“…there was something inherently appealing about My Little Radio. The music – hard-rock grooves and riffs you’d expect from such a band playing power rock – served as nothing more than a backdrop for the star of the show… Kate O’Brien’s stage presence [and] sincerity mixed well with her booming-but-beautiful voice… My Little Radio is the type of band that wins these Battle O’ the Band Competitions in the movies, with all close-up shots on the adorably spunky singer.” – The Boston Herald.com (coverage of the 2007 WBCN Rumble)
“My Little Radio play the kind of music that listeners in their 20’s and 30’s would have loved to hear coming through their own little radios when they were kids. The songs from their eponymous debut… [are] in the tradition of when catchy rock dominated pop radio of the 80’s and 90’s.” – Pat Healy, Boston Metro
