IN-STORE: Coathangers signing TONIGHT @ 7PM

Attention! The Coathangers are gonna be “hanging” in-store for a signing TONIGHT at 7 before their set at the Echo!

Don't have their LP yet? Don't worry! We do!

The ATL trio, consisting of Crook Kid Coathanger (vox/guitar), Minnie Coathanger (vox/bass) and Rusty Coathanger (vox/drums), released their fourth album, Suck My Shirt, in the spring after a few years of recording and releasing a few hints of singles (most of which ended up on the record). Apparently the record’s rather confrontational title refers to the “salvaging of spilled tequila during the recording session for the album.” Sounds about right. They have since set upon a slew of southwest to northwest tour dates, and here we are!

According to legend (aka their press release) the Coathangers “decided to start a band for the sole purpose of being able to hang out and play parties. They weren’t going to let the fact that none of them knew how to play any instruments get in the way of their having a good time.”

Well dammit if that isn't punk rock.

Alongside hanging with some awesome musicians, Coathanger's label Suicide Squeeze will also be providing pizza and drinks to make the party even sweeter! Afterwards, we'll be heading over to The Echo for The Coathanger's full set and hope you can join us! It's gonna be a perfect evening!

A New Residency @ The Echo!

Making sure your summer keeps on rocking, The Echo have recruited local shoegazers Tete to cleanse you weekly from the grime of hot August days. Self-described as a "cult memory of My Bloody Valentine," Tete mix drone, shoegaze, metal and a taste for gummy worms into a sonic infiltration unit whose only goal is to blow you away. It's a beautiful noise when it all comes together and we hope we can see y'all there every Monday this summer! The guitars start wailing at 9PM, so make sure you aren't late!

Dot Hacker @ The Echo!

Tonight at 9PM, recent OV fave Dot Hacker take the stage at The Echo with their bold and surprisingly seductive sound. Spotlighted by Simone on her recent review of the album, "How’s Your Process? (Work) is the sonic embodiment of seduction, hitting all the right notes over and over until you’re weak at the knees. Drenched in prismatic production and indulging in melodic refinement worthy of Venus de Milo, Dot Hacker provides an agonizingly beautiful soundscape reminiscent of tender time spent with your first love. If you’re a sucker for Blonde Redhead, Autolux, and Mew, this is your new favorite band." Sounds good to us. The sexy stuff gets started at 9 -- see you there!
