I talked about Smoosh a while back here on the site and had absolutely nothing but awesome reviews about them.
Again, here come the 3 girls from Seattle (all 16 and under, mind you) with a new blog on myspace that I HAD to check out. I was not disappointed at all. Their level of talent is amazing, and well, just read below.

The Bryant Park Project, April 24, 2008
Smoosh is a band of three sisters, all born after Bill Clinton was first elected president, Michael Jordan was in his prime and Nirvana released its ground-breaking album Nevermind. This week, the Seattle-based trio stopped by the BPP offices, where they played two new, unrecorded songs — "Great Skies" and "Dark Shine" — in an actual NPR cubicle.
Asya, 16, plays the keyboards, sings lead and writes the lyrics. Chloe, 14, plays the drums and also sings. They arrange the songs together. Maia, 11, just joined the band last summer as the bass player.
They may be young, but the trio's already opened for Pearl Jam, Death Cab for Cutie, and Sleater-Kinney.

OK.
Not only can they hold their own opening for huge acts, but they played 2 songs...IN A CUBICLE. And the completely killed it!
For "Take Your Kids to Work Day", the best I ever did was come up with a cartoon character logo for a brand of imaginary bubble gum at the advertising agency my dad worked at. Jealous much?
You can watch the video here on the NPR site.
