Smoosh are a three piece band from Seattle, Washington previously signed to Pattern 25, now signed to Barsuk Records; which is home to such acts as Death Cab for Cutie, Mates of State, They Might Be Giants and Rilo Kiley.
They’re made up of 18-year-old Asya (pronounced AH-zee) who plays the keyboard, is the lead singer and writes the lyrics; 16-year-old Chloe, who plays drums and does the backing vocals; and 14-year-old Maia, who plays bass guitar. Asya and Chloe were 12 and 10, respectively, when their first album, ‘She Like Electric,’ was released in September of 2004. Recently, younger sister Maia has joined the band on tour to play bass guitar on some songs. Smoosh has performed their hit song ‘Find a Way’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live, their first appearance on late-night TV. Asya, Chloe and Maia do not give their last name to interviewers.
The original duo (Chole and Asya) generated buzz through their connection with Jason McGerr (Chloe’s drum teacher at the Seattle Drum School) of Death Cab for Cutie and also through the support of other indie royalty, like Cat Power and Sleater-Kinney.
Their two albums ‘She Like Electric’ and ‘Free To Stay’ have achieved high critical acclaim.
Smoosh toured internationally in 2006 supporting Eels and in America in 2007 with Bloc Party. They are currently working on songs for their third album and touring with The Dresden Dolls.

Killer drummer, sweet wandering harmonies contrasting brilliantly with a grungy, distorted background, lyrics that sound like pure emotion set to music, wildly infectious upbeat music, what more could you want? Can’t wait for their next album!

God, I hope the third album comes out soon. I remember them telling me they were half way done almost two years ago and the new songs they've performed sound great. Please, this wait must end now.

I first heard of them from a friend who is indie dj and liked it from the first moment on. They got nice rhythms and their style is reduced in a positive way - just fresh....
