If you didn’t get tickets to the opening night (4/10) of the chickfactor 20th anniversary shows at the Bell House but would still like to see Small Factory play in New York, they’re playing Cake Shop on Friday, April 13 with Air Waves.

One of the quintessential ’90s indiepop bands, Small Factory formed in 1991 in Providence, RI and released two albums before breaking up in 1995. The record to seek out, however, is their 1996 singles comp The Industrial Evolution that culls the trio’s many 7″ from such labels as Slumberland, Bus Stop, Simple Machines and Pop Narcotic which really exemplifies the band’s happy-sad folk pop style. You can download “Merry Go Round” (from one of their Slumberland singles) at the top of this post.

The first two nights of the chickfactor anniversary fest are sold out but you can still get tickets to the Thursday, April 12 night featuring Stevie Jackson, Honey Bunch, the Pines, The Softies and “special guests” not yet announced.
