Past membersJames Ferraro

The Skaters were an American experimental music duo based in San Diego and San Francisco, California, consisting of James Ferraro and Spencer Clark. The group released cassettes, CD-Rs, and LPs of their work between 2004 and 2008 and toured the United States and Europe until 2009. They have been regarded as part of the "post-noise psychedelia" movement.

Music journalist Simon Reynolds described the Skaters, along with Ariel Pink, as the "godparents" of hypnagogic pop, and credited a comment made by Ferraro with inspiring the use of the term "hypnagogic".
