The Little Ones

Indie rock quintet The Little Ones [ tickets ] have fellow musician Matt Costa to thank in part for their rise in popularity. The LA-based group jump-started their career in 2006 with an opening gig for Costa at New York City's Bowery Ballroom.

Then newly formed by Ed Reyes and Ian Moreno, the Little Ones, often compared to old-school pop acts like The Beach Boys and The Zombies, soon released their debut EP, "Sing Song" and began work on their full-length debut, "Morning Tide," which finally dropped in October 2008.

The Little Ones are currently touring the US in support of singer/songwriter Brett Dennen through early March.
