The Coathangers

I got to the XOYO just as The Coathangers took to the stage. There was even a little gap right at the front of the stage, so I was able to put my bag down, get my camera out in super fast time and start shooting. I didn't know anything about the band, I hadn't even checked out any of their music prior to the gig, so I had no idea what to expect. The all girl group started off civilized enough, punky and shouty, but nothing to mental. Then they started swapping instruments; the guitar player went on drums, the drummer played guitar, then went on to bass and lead vocals. At some point the bass player played drums too. It was all sorts of awesome! By the end of the set The Coathangers had blown my mind!
