Midget and Hairs is the musical endeavor of Paige Dearman. Paige began playing music in 1992, while working for her college radio station, KLPI of Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana. Here she met fellow Ruston musicians who were also just starting to play music; bands like Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control, Sunshine Fix, The Gerbils, etc.

In 1995, she relocated to Denver and recorded her first 7" entitled Cactus Screwballs which was released on Den Mother Records in early 1996. It was mixed and mastered by Robert Schneider. Some additional players on the single were Robert Schneider (Apples in Stereo, Orchestre Fantastique), Hilarie Sidney (Apples in Stereo), Jeff Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel) and Will Cullen Hart (The Olivia Tremor Control, Circulatory System).

Midget and Hairs was also included on a compilation of local Denver artists released by Stupid Records, featuring her song Stardaisy.

Later in 1996, Paige moved to Seattle and began work on her second 7". I'm a Big Kid Now was a split 7" with Marshmallow Coast. This time Paige had some additional help from Andy Gonzales (Marshmallow Coast, Of Montreal).

Paige moved back to Louisiana. She was asked to contribute to a compilation on Earworm Records. In 2000, Songs For A Crimson Egg Tree was released featuring 2 Midget and Hairs songs Penny Whistle and Goodbye Ethel Malloy.

Paige now lives in Austin, Texas, works at Helping Hand Home for Children and records at home in her spare time. She is currently working on her next seven-inch.
