THE COATHANGERS+ Big Bite, Black Widows
Turf Club

Punk grrrls The Coathangers is returning to the Turf Club this Monday, April 8th, to celebrate their new album The Devil You Know (Suicide Squeeze Records).
The last time we saw the trio, we described the show as: “Concert-goers were still desperately trying to squeeze up front as The Coathangers emerged from the curtained-off backstage, each woman bearing an altered version of the band’s rad tour shirts (the design, take from their newest EP Parasite, imagines the band as sirens calling sailors to their doom). Under the glow of the blood-red stage lights, the band cranked out a 50-minute set of gleefully deranged punk that was both buoyant enough to groove to, but hard enough that you’ll probably chip a tooth in the process.”
Big Bite and Black Widows to open.

BROODS
+ Bad Sounds
Amsterdam Bar and Hall
Mon 04/08/2019 (7pm/$15.96/Sold Out)
amsterdambarandhall.com
The upcoming Go Show at the Amsterdam Bar and Hall on Monday, April 8, featuring Broods, has sold out.
We caught the New Zealand brother-sister band (Georgia Nott and Caleb Nott) at the First Avenue in August 2016 and wrote, “What Broods delivered is pretty much their entire Conscious presented live, with only a few old favorites from Evergreen thrown in near the end. From past experiences, usually this means that the band has really grown away from when they started and just really eager and happy to show us their new and current music.”
Show up early to check out UK-based band
Bad Sounds.
