From the drummer from the Trachtenburgs to Ben Lee,
there’s always been the odd indie kid who was indeed such a kid that they couldn’t get served a drink at their own gigs. Sisters Asya and Chloe (ten and 12 respectively) met Death Cab for Cutie’s Jason McGerr at Seattle’s Drum School (where Chloe now studies) and when he heard their bittersweet pop he was hooked. Armed with their drums, keyboards and twin harmonies, the pair have opened for bands like Death Cab and SIeater-Kinney in the past and prove that Shirley Temple and that little brat from Annie were the exception, not the rule.
