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 (Chloe 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.
As of right now, they have completed their third album, "The World's Not Bad," to be released June 29.
From Wikipedia:Smoosh is an American indie pop band from Seattle, Washington. They have released two albums, She Like Electric and Free to Stay. Both albums were written and performed by singer/keyboardist Asya (preferred name Asy, born February 2, 1992) and her sister, drummer Chloe (born March 5, 1994). Their younger sister Maia (born September 5, 1996) joined the band in early 2007.
At the time of their first album, She Like Electric, released on September 21, 2004, Asy was 12 years old and Chloe was 10. All of their songs are originals with both music and lyrics written by the girls themselves. Maia, then not in the band, provided the cover artwork for both that album and their next, Free to Stay.
They live with their father Mike, a medical researcher, their mother Maria, a pediatrician of Swedish descent, and their younger sister Scout. They do not give out their last name to interviewers. Asy, Chloe and Maia are all vegetarians. They are, to some extent, protégées of Chloe's drum teacher, Jason McGerr, now the drummer of Death Cab for Cutie.
