EVENT NOTICES
RPR Presents: THE COATHANGERS / PREDATOR
Time – Wednesday at 9:00pm
Location – Bottletree Cafe
3719 3rd Avenue South
Birmingham, AL
More Info –
Come out and see these four wild chica’s, The Coathangers, along with Atlanta’s Predator and some other band….
THE COATHANGERS have grown from a band of girlfriends buying the cheapest instruments an Atlanta pawn shop could offer, to a group of formidable, adaptable performers. You might think you can pin them down, but they don’t care. Their fashion isn’t contrived…their music feels like music for music’s sake because that’...s exactly what it is: natural, voluntary, spontaneous, impulsive, intuitive and entirely better for it.
THE COATHANGERS
Punk rock is best when it strives to be more than blood, sweat and three noisy chords. Such is the case with PREDATOR, the hard-hitting trio of Brannon Greene (guitar/vocals), Mike Beavers (bass/vocals) and John Necro (drums). In less than a year, the group’s perfected a balance of pummeling drums, distorted bass chops, motorik guitar hooks, and dual vocals that strike with visceral grit and minimalism.
