The Coathangers

Summary by Gordon Lamb

Their live shows are always fun affairs filled with the bands punk tweaked tunes with a decidedly upfront feminist perspective. One could hardly call The Coathangers hard-line politicos, their feminism is self-evident without ever needing to be preachy. The band is living testament to the power of friends, fun and a lot of hard work.
