TJM RANDOM RODEO: I’m talking about Smoosh and it has nothing to do with Snooki
No boring Monica story today. Just some random good tunes. This one is old, but came up when my library was on shuffle the other day and I remembered how much I loved it. Two young sisters Chloe and Asy from Seattle began playing music at the tender ages of 12 and 10 and formed the band Smoosh. This was long before Snooki and company gave this word a whole new meaning. I won’t go in the whole story but these girls were taking music lessons from Jason McGerr of Death Cab for Cutie when they decided to put out an EP.
My friend Anne-Marie gave me the song “Find A Way” and I almost hit her when she told me how young they were. The girls were 14 and 12 when they wrote and recorded this song off of their album Free to Stay (2006)
The girls added their little sister Maia in 2007 to play bass and have grown with their music. Seriously who is this cool at 19, 17 and 15. I definitely wasn’t.
This track is from their 2010 release Withershins:

Oh yeah! I loved this band! At 19 and 15, I was pulling you out of a Daft Punk mosh pit. At 19 and 15, I was laughing at you getting a lap dance from a Hanson look-a-like stripper. We weren’t too bad. Except the Daft Punk part.
hahahahah!!! it was Prodigy! I remember cause you saved my life that night.
