The Coathangers
Summary by Gordon Lamb
The Coathangers’ trajectory over the past couple of years has been truly incredible. Born from the fertile and vibrant Atlanta indie scene, The Coathangers will play the Athens PopFest for the first time this year. Their live shows are always fun affairs filled with the bands punk tweaked tunes with a decidedly upfront feminist perspective.

The band is living testament to the power of friends, fun and a lot of hard work.
