Smoosh!

Iโ€™ve been listening to these prodigious girlsโ€™ music since they were 10 and 12 years old, when they had formed a band in the Seattle area called Smoosh where they were good enough to headline in 21-and-over clubs as pre-teens. Theyโ€™ve always been good, but now they are moving into great. And now called Chaos Chaos, apparently.

Now in their early 20s. Their โ€œovernightโ€ success is the product of more than 10 years of constant practice.

Here they are 7-8 years ago, when the youngest was still only 13 or so.

Already wayyyyy better than most bands. The drummer โ€” Chloe Saavedra โ€” is a genius and hearing her drumming is the original reason I started listening to them at all. Damn good song, too.

(Really, she is a drum genius. Please ignore the appalling audio quality of this and just listen. Holy shit. Do you know how much skill what she did takes? No? Itโ€™s like flying a helicopter while making an omelet and reciting Shakespeare all while being attacked by a cheetah.)
