***********************************



Little Man's new release, "Orbital Amusement," slings into the stratosphere from Chris Perricelli's musical launching pad. Sonic delights abound with burly beats, lush harmonies and fuzzy, pitch-bending guitars inspired by ZVEX effects-- all expertly captured and honed by longtime Little Man producer Ed Tinley. Outer-space meets inner-space with themes of self-discovery and man's desire instinct vs. destiny. Ray gun and sputnik sounds merge with fierce riffs and hooks for a more robust modern feel than earlier releases.
With "Of Mind and Matter" (Eclectone Records) Little Man has combined the big hooks of classic Brit-Pop with something uniquely fresh. Recorded in an old hunting lodge in Chicago with producer Ed Tinley (Liz Phair, Ike Reilly), "Of Mind and Matter" takes the listener into a world of wonder. Traces of Led Zeppelin, T.Rex, the Kinks and David Bowie can be found in songs like "Don't Pray to Fantasy," "Talisman," "Get It To Ground" and "Not Quite so High."



Little Man's third album "Soulful Automatic" generated a great buzz in the Twin Cities. The City Pages declared Little Man The Best Rock Band of 2007 with a cover story and The Minnesota Music Academy nominated Little Man's leader, Chris Perricelli (lead singer/guitarist/songwriter) with Guitarist of the Year. "Of Mind and Matter" continues "Soulful Automatic's" tradition of driving rockers and swoon-worthy melodicism.



The band's name is taken from a character who appears in classic folklore. The little man of mythology often joins the Hero on his journey towards self-awareness when he is most needed. He provides wisdom and talisman and steers the Hero towards the correct path. This small-statured creature is one of the band's primary inspirations.



"The 5-foot-2 rocker exudes confidence and energy on stage, bearing a charisma that's much bigger than he is Man, what a rock star." - C. Riemenschneider, Star Tribune.*



"Guitar wizard" - City Pages



"Equal parts Bowie and Bodhisattva, Chris Perricelli mixes spiritual insight with massive riffs for maximum impact." R.V. Alstyne, The Onion.



"The songs are so aurally pleasing that they feel familiar, even while the band's sound is unique and not easily compared to other acts. Perricellis talent on guitar is incredible, and his voice has a sensitivity lacking in contemporary rock music. At times I was reminded of George Harrison's vocals in "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," the way his vocals float and dance with the contrasting power chords and heavy drum beats, creating symphonic delight." - How Was The Show.com*



".he's got some serious guitar chops, and man, guitar heroism is a lost art. Perricelli and his band pull it off admirably." - S. McPherson, The Pulse*



"The best singer-guitarist to call St. Paul home since Bob Mould"
- P. Scholtes, City Pages.*



Nominated for Rock Group and Guitarist of the Year 2006 by the Minnesota Music Academy.*



Named best Best Rock Band of 2007 by the Twin Cities City Pages.
