About This Show
Sleepersound: Dreamy Shoegaze music from Milwaukee. "Critical calls to Sonic Youth, Mission of Burma, & Mogwai" Life Skills is a Minneapolis-based art-punk duo, rooted in drums & fuzz bass. They sound like Mo Tucker and Mike Watt drunk and playing songs about cats, insects, spiders, depression and anxiety. Life Skills existed briefly in 2007 as the remnants of notorious Minneapolis pop-punk legends The Cancer Kids. It then went into a pupal stage for ten years; when it emerged, it was just Emily (drums/vocals) and Jesse (fuzz bass). Life Skills have released two albums-- Break Up (2023) and Time Travel (2026)-- and three EPs-- Royal Lunch Special (2019), Everything is a Conspiracy (2020) and DIRTST (2024).
