On The Record

Host Tyler Maas was invited to the soon-to-be-vacated Lucky Cat by Eric Apnea (Holy Shit!), a booker at Cocoon Room who currently lives in the Lucky Cat space. Kelsey Kaufmann (Gallery Night, Youth Crush), a lifelong proponent of all-ages venues, joined in on the conversation. Together, the trio delved into the broad topic by comparing the state of all-ages music in Milwaukee today, discussing the importance of all-ages venues, laying out the limited businesses that can cater to young crowds (some better than others), and suggesting lasting ways the city can address this artistic absence.
