Smoosh: 2000–2012 Smoosh started in 2000 when the family was at a Seattle music store The Trading Musician, standing in line to restring a violin. Asy and Chloe wandered into the drum section of the store, where Chloe met
Jason McGerr, the drummer for
Death Cab for Cutie. The family eventually left with a $600 drum kit for Chloe, McGerr's card from the Seattle Drum School, "and no violin." When McGerr learned that Asy had been playing the piano and writing songs since she was very young, he offered to help them both. Neither Asy nor Chloe read music. Asy began piano training, but she soon quit because she found it boring. As they toured with
Eels as part of a world tour in mid-2006, they are also featured on the
California-based band's live DVD/CD
Live and in Person! London 2006. On August 5, 2007, Smoosh performed at
Lollapalooza 2007 at Chicago's
Grant Park. Their set included a cover of "
This Modern Love" by
Bloc Party, with whom they would later tour that same year in September. Earlier that year, they also headlined an
east coast spring tour with
The Postmarks. The band played "Pajama Party Time" on the children's TV series
Yo Gabba Gabba in 2007. The Saavedra sisters have been the only members of the band. Their younger sister, Maia Saavedra, played bass for them in 2007. Smoosh opened for many leading
Pacific Northwest bands including
Pearl Jam,
Death Cab for Cutie,
Sleater-Kinney, and the
Presidents of the United States of America, Asy also lends her voice to the soundtrack of the musical film
God Help the Girl created by
Stuart Murdoch of
Belle & Sebastian, where she sings on the songs "I Just Want Your Jeans" and "A Down and Dusky Blonde". She also provided the vocals on the song "I Fell for the Fall" by Swedish band Karma Tree. In early 2008, they toured with
Tokyo Police Club and
The Dresden Dolls. In June 2010, Smoosh released their third album,
Withershins (previously titled ''The World's Not Bad'').
Chaos Chaos: 2012–present in 2017 In 2012 the Saavedras changed the band's name to Chaos Chaos, abandoning the name "Smoosh" because the term had become associated with
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi after an episode of
South Park. Chaos Chaos released an EP,
S, on October 16, 2012. On February 23, 2013, they released a single, "In This Place." On October 7, 2014, Chaos Chaos released another EP,
Committed to the Crime. One of its tracks, "Do You Feel It?", was featured in the animated sci-fi cartoon
Rick and Morty season two episode "
Auto Erotic Assimilation." This brought the band a lot of recognition. Chaos Chaos provided vocals to
George Watsky on the song "Brave New World" on his album
x Infinity, which released on August 19, 2016. On August 27, 2017, the duo released the single "
Terryfold", which features lead vocals from
Rick and Morty co-creator and voice actor
Justin Roiland, a longtime fan of the band. After releasing the singles "Dripping with Fire" and "On Turning 23" in late 2017 and "Pink Politics" in April 2018, the band released the full-length album
Chaos Chaos on May 15, 2018. To promote the album, they also began headlining their first nationwide tour on April 12 of that year. In 2019, the band released three singles that are currently unattached to any album: "Armed and Dangerous," "Theaters," and "Improv Song." In February 2024, Chaos Chaos released two singles, 'Ethical Plum' and 'Control'. Both songs were included on their fifth and final album
Earth Girls in 2026. ==Members==
