Episode 374 - Lainey Schooltree

 Lainey Schooltree is a musician, comedian, streamer, and former half of the musical comedy duo The Steamy Bohemians. She then formed the solo art rock project Schooltree.

When the pandemic hit, she began performing on Twitch and found that live-streaming offered the interdisciplinary playground she'd been after. What began as a temporary pivot became a long-term transformation and these days she captains a spaceship on Lainey Schooltree TV - a live show where she’s an “astro-streamer” assigned to deliver packages while improvising music with analog synthesizers, electronic drums, and layered vocals in a show that blends surreal comedy, retro-futurist visuals, and themes of corporate absurdity and creative resistance.
