About the small cities

The Small Cities formed in the winter of 2006, in order to stay warm. And it sort've worked! Leif and David grew up playing tunes together in Amery, Wisconsin, while Jimmy was cutting his chops in Sioux City. We love all sorts of bands (Jimmy's a total metal head!), and we frequently like the music we make together.

'trust me i am NOT a stalker' - live @ the turf club 5/23/08... enjoy.
