smoosh

when two pre-teens can rock as good as you, you should be a little concerned. but that is in fact what Smoosh does. petrov had heard of them, but had little knowledge of them until he saw them open for The Pipettes at blackcat a while back. he was indeed found to following standard DC indie concert protocol for bands one likes -- tapping foot, nodding head, and the optional a) arms folded or b) beer in hand. petrov was guzzling his beer bottle like a bunny on his mum's teet, so yeah petrov approves of smoosh.

at the SF performance they covered the bloc party song "this modern love" and did quite well in petrov's view. despite not being grown men who can actually rock and not make DAR Constitution Hall's, where petrov saw bloc party, acoustics sound as bad as they are, smoosh gives a good playing of the song. they were unable to make it their own, but like a fine cheese, age will cure that.
