Wow, Berlin! 🥹 You’ve welcomed us with open arms and made us feel so special. Our first appearance in the capital will forever be an evening we’ll never forget! 😍 Much love goes out to everyone who came out early to rock along with us. It’s been such a pleasure to see your beautiful faces and also to chat with so many of you after the show! 🐁
We’d also like to send out an incredible amount of love to the lovely team of @kesselhaus_berlin and once again to @dreamhaus & @itbagency for putting us on the bill yesterday! 🙌 And of course we shan’t forget about our new friends in @octoberdrift who absolutely killed it with their incredible performance! 🥹 It’s been such a pleasure to meet you, may our paths cross again in the future! ❤️

A dream is coming true! 🥹 Our album “The Ground Beneath Our Feet” will finally be released on vinyl and it’s actually the first vinyl release for any of us! This first pressing includes 100 pieces on sky blue vinyl and 100 pieces on flamingo pink vinyl. 💙🩷 Of course we chose the 180g variant for more depth in sound and it also comes along with a 12-page-booklet containing all single artworks by @simonmarchner . 🙌
It’s up for pre-order in our brand new merch store (link in bio!) and will most likely ship in late April/early May. If you’ve already pre-ordered it during our crowdfunding, you’ll also finally be receiving it then (drop a message if you haven’t chose a color yet)! ☺️ And of course we’ll have it with us at our shows as soon as they arrive! 😍
This is such a big moment for us. Huge thanks to @objectsmanufacturing for everything! 🫶

So..."Why We Are" was ahead of its time? 🤔
Jokes aside, we felt like this song required some explaining upon release with its duality of summer and existential coping. With everyone going back to the beauty and the worrying news of 2016, we were thinking about this one a lot, these last fiew weeks. ❤️

Merry Christmas, everybody! 🎄 Sorry for being a bit quiet this year, but we promise it won’t stay like this in 2026. 🤭 Last week we had our annual Christmas party after what has gotta been one of the most chaotic years for us personally. 🫣 But coming together with some of the closest people in our little #smallstridesfamily to leave some of our old troubles behind in 2025 seemed just right. ❤️🩹
As some of you might have heard, @leolabs2 & @malin_returner are part of a new concert group called @anb_nord which is hosting a big New Year’s party on January 17th! 🎉 Of course we’ll be there to see many of our friends on stage as well as Malin’s new band project called @bekind.emo ! 🫂 See you there? Tickets via the ANB Nord Insta bio! 🎫
We can’t wait to be back next year! 🙌
See you then & lots of love! ❤️
- Léo, Manu, Malin

In Germany we say „heftigste Vermissung“. 🥲 #tb to our dear friends in @fishintheelevator ‘s farewell show at the beautiful @helios.37 in Cologne! 🙌 This evening has been such a wild ride from playing probably one of our best sets ever to shedding a lot of tears while saying goodbye to a band which has been right at our side for half a decade. 🥺
Lilia, Clara, Paul, Alvar, Malin - it‘s really hard to imagine Small Strides without Fish in the Elevator. 😳 But we‘re so sure that you guys are gonna kick off more amazing projects in the future which will probably be at least as amazing and inspiring as @fishintheelevator has been to us! 🐟 Thank you for everything! ❤️
Also huge shoutout to @theycallmegwen , @mrthymusic and the lovely team of @helios.37 for taking such good care of us! 😌 And of course all the love to all of you beautiful human beings for showing up early to rock with us! 🤘 We can‘t wait to be back! 🚀

Why the hell has Léo recently started playing GameBoy during concerts?! 🤔
You know we love adding half-necessary new gear and instruments to our shows. 🙃 For our gig at @kesselhaus_berlin with @octoberdrift last December, we transferred the vocal samples from "Sleep" to a @roli_create Lightpad Block to play them live. So, if you will, it's a very fancy sample pad.
And as you can see [3], it has become pretty addictive...
Obviously, this is no paid partnership, but we'd be open for that 😁

Homecoming. 🏠 Once again @zakk_duesseldorf has gifted us with a day we‘ll remember for the rest of our lives! 🥹 Playing their annual Straßenfest might have been the perfect way to close up our summer. ☀️ We‘d like to thank @miguelpassarge & @kirahummen for the invitation and for taking such good care of us. 🫶
Much love to everyone who checked us out and danced in the sun with us. 💃 We really know what we‘ve been missing these last few months. 🥲 That‘s why we‘re super excited to return to the stage so soon on September 20th! 🙌 Get your tickets for our show with @fishintheelevator via the link in our bio! 🎫
