The Coathangers (w/ White Fang, Trampoline Team, Bottom Feeders)
This week’s can’t miss show (Sorry, Nick). The Coathangers are an ATL-based punk band that’ll make you feel less bad that you weren’t old enough to catch Bikini Kill. White Fang are Portland’s DIY kingpins. Trampoline Team make fierce garage-rock and have a 7” out on local label Pelican Pow Wow. Bottom Feeders make a special kind of trash-rock that sounds distinctly NOLA. All in all, you won’t see a bill this solid for at least another week.
