Biography
For Skittish, it's the same ol' story...
Boy meets girl
Boy and girl form band, release two albums, and tour country with critical acclaim
Boy gets girl, works a crappy factory night shift, buys house, builds studio, and starts work on magnum opus of the double-album persuasion.
Boy throws himself deep into recording the best piece of art in his life and loses girl, house, and job.
The band remains solid, the album is immaculate.
Twenty-four of the best songs to come out of Minnesota document the past year of their life
Expect a spring tour featuring a full band, strange samples, and projected videos.
Every live show is a unique audio/visual experience, every live show is a chance to win girl back.
Skittish is a folk-rock band from Minneapolis that is fronted by Jeff Noller and Vonnie Meehl. The two commonly play as a duo with projected videos and their sound is comparable to Death Cab for Cutie, Paul Simon, and Rilo Kiley. They have been together 3 ½ years and in that time have released two albums, charted on CMJ, toured nationally, showcased in Nashville, been featured on TV and radio across the country. About to complete work on their double-album, Skittish are the definition of DIY; and with the power shifting from the unwieldy industry into the hands of the internet-savvy, their next album will surely make Skittish a household name.
