In March 2009 “Cheap Tequila”, owning its title to an old Johnny Winter song, saw the light of day. Three years of intense live dates followed, including an appearance at the Rock in Idro Fest in September 2006, during which the band shared the bill with legendary names such as The Damned and the Stooges (at the time featuring the late Asheton brothers alongside Iggy Pop). The Swedish pair traded solos on the stand-out track “Forever night”. Hot on the heels of “Play at High Level”, in 2006 the band proceeded to release “Walking the Boogie”, an album that tellingly featured guest appearances by both Nick "Royale" Anderson and the late great Robert "Strings" Dahlqvist (The Hellacopters). The foursome shared the stage with mainstays of the international rock’n’roll circuit such as The Lords of Altamont, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Hardcore Superstars, Dollhouse, Division of Laura Lee, Adolescent, White Flag, Imperial State Electric, and, perhaps most importantly, the Hellacopters, a band that will become inextricably linked to the Small Jackets.

Having replaced David Piatto with his own young hotshot disciple Eddy Current and with Rob “Nobody” Tini’s addition on bass, the Small Jackets embarked on a series of live shows, characterized by energetic performances.
Featuring David Piatto on lead guitar, it received rave reviews from widely-known zines such as Rumore, Mucchio Selvaggio, Rocksound, All Music, Rockstar, Music Lava, Stonerrock.
In March 2004, “Play at High Level”, the band’s thundering debut album, became the first instalment of the Small Jackets saga. The duo was brought together by the sheer will to carry the torch of authentic rock and roll in the new millennium. The Small Jackets came to life in 2000, when powerhouse drummer Danny Savanas joined forces with leather-lunged vocalist and rhythm guitarist Lu Silver.
