Little Big League was an American rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Little Big League began in October 2011. They were signed to Tiny Engines and Run For Cover Records, and released two full-length albums. Their first album, titled These Are Good People, was released in 2013.[1] Their second album, titled Tropical Jinx, was released in 2014.[2][3]

After Michelle Zauner's mother was diagnosed with cancer, she moved back to Eugene, Oregon. She recorded two digital releases American Sound and Where Is My Great Big Feeling? under the name Japanese Breakfast.[4] A selection of these songs were re-recorded together with Ned Eisenberg. In April 2016 the album Psychopomp was released on Yellow K Records.[5]

Little Big League returned from hiatus for a few shows in 2016, but effectively broke up after that as Zauner focused on Japanese Breakfast and Kevin O’Halloran joined the band Mercury Girls.[6]
