The Coathangers head down under
for the first time ever in New Zealand, to play two
shows in Auckland and Christchurch.
When The Coathangers started up in 2006, their
aspirations were humble. “I think all bands in their early twenties start for
fun,” says guitarist/vocalist Julia Kugel when talking about
their early years of cheeky no-wave and irreverent garage rock. But Julia and
her bandmates Meredith Franco (bass/vocals)
and Stephanie Luke (drums/vocals) were serious about
their craft, and that combination of modest outside expectations and absolute
dedication to their music made for exhilarating live shows and contagious
records.
Nosebleed Weekend shows that 10 years
on, The Coathangers are still rocking, stronger
than ever. The new album came hot on the heels of The
Coathangers highly-praised 2014 release, Suck
My Shirt, but with a difference. Nosebleed
Weekend is the first album The
Coathangers have made outside of their native Atlanta, and with
this expanded location has come broadened horizons musically. The
Coathangers' new release still manages to contain the
simmering vocal intensity, serrated but catchy instrumentation and neo-grunge
tone beloved by their fans, while incorporating more sophisticated song
writing, expanded musical concepts and a shine of maturity.
Recorded in North Hollywood at Valentine Recording Studios with Nic Jodoin (Black Rebel Motorcycle
Club, Nightbeats), Nosebleed Weekend contains
something for every Rock n Roll and Coathangers fan, new and old.
