COS 2014 webs

Tonight The Coathangers, together PANGEA and Cherry Glazerr are gracing Brighton Music Hall for what will certainly be one hell of a show. This Allston stop marks another checkpoint on their noteworthy Caravan of Stars Tour, a route of shows planned by cassette kings, Burger Records. Since mid-October the label has been cycling through varying Burger reppin’ lineups as it travels throughout the U.S. and Canada. Something about the term makes us want to get out our disco shorts and platform heels and get ready to shake our groove thing. Disco shorts or cargo pants, we’re ready for this rockin’ lineup of garage-heavy hitters.

Atlanta based The Coathangers have been making music four nearly a half decade. These punk-rockin’ ladies found recent success with the band’s fourth full length, Suck My Shirt, an album exploding with splitting guitars, stomping drums, and the affirmation of total f*cking girl power. Backed by Suicide Squeeze Records, Suck My Shirt was given a cassette release through Burger earlier this year to land the band riding the wave of Caravan.

The young Californians of Cherry Glazerr found their way to the limelight after fashion big-wig Hedi Slimane used the group’s “Trick or Treat Dancefloor,” a track from the band’s 2014 Haxel Princess. With the video, the track sets the stage for a lanky model to dance around ballerina style in an abandoned-looking building. All to sell a pair of flats! Fashion’s confusing, but Cherry Glazerr isn’t. Especially considering how well this trio will fit the mold of the show, keeping up with the night’s laid back sound while giving a sense of frontwoman Clementine Creevy’s innermost thought- even if it’s just about “Grilled Cheese.


LA outfit together PANGEA sounds just like their sunny home state, a band paying respect to their scene’s surfy history and poppier side of garage rock. This is a three-piece to get you up and ready for a Friday night, the kind of jams playing soundtrack to your make-out session with that cutie at the bonfire. Badillac, their third full-length LP and first for Harvest Records is the latest from this beachy trio, a smash hit of teeny-bopper-esque pop mixed with the darker side of excess.

All this fun and no one to share it with! So c’mon, leave your growler in the sand and skip on down to Allston!
