the masters, they are tiny

Well see, its been awhile since we communicated with you, dear blog. we have really good excuses like 'we moved!' and 'we're busy!' but we have a saying here at Mute US: no good dead goes unpunished. and so we bring you a new irregular feature.....the highlight of the week!
This week's Highlight of the week was a NYC performance by Brooklyn's own teen-sibling-super- duo, Tiny Masters of Today. Ada, 13 and Ivan, 15 along with their friend drummer Jackson (i know he's not related, but they let him in the band anyway. can you believe it?!) opened for Art Brut at NYC's Mercury Lounge in advance of their new album Skeletons which is released June 16 2009.

Some photos of their nothing-short-of-adorable live set are below. They ironically covered Sonic Youth's "Youth Against Facism" at this show, and also at a Sonic Youth party which Gawker saw fit to cover HERE, read all about it.
