‘Ready?” asks their mother, who’s been waiting outside. ”We’ve got a show to play.”
Indeed they do. In fact, they’ve played three this week, and will be playing three more in Austin for the South by Southwest music conference. Ivan (guitar and vocals) and Ada (bass, keyboards and vocals) are Tiny Masters of Today. When Russell Simins from manic rockers the Blues Explosion heard their first single, he got in touch and offered to be their drummer. In September, the Masters released their debut album, Bang Bang Boom Cake, which includes guest appearances from the Moldy Peaches’s Kimya Dawson, Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Fred Schneider of the B-52’s. And David Bowie is on record as describing them as a cross between New York ’70s noise duo Suicide and so-bad-they’re-great cult sister group the Shaggs. He concluded by calling them ”genius.”
”I thought that was amazing that David would even consider writing about us, or even think about us,” says Ivan, crunching on some Pez and sweeping his long hair out of his eyes as we stand on the pavement outside Piano’s, the small club where they’ll be playing this afternoon.
You call him David?
”Oh yeah, he’s my buddy,” he says, with sarcasm in his voice and a cheeky half-grin on his face. ”I call him Davey or Davo. He comes around to our place after school.” - Entertainment Weekly [READ MORE]
