The Coathangers' Christmas Show, The Earl, 12-25-2013


It wouldn't be Christmas without a performance by Atlanta's The Coathangers, now, would it? The Earl provided not only that, but a showcase of four bands total, all for a low, low cover charge of $5.  Merry Christmas, indeed.


Douglas' Street Team, featuring members of The Black Lips, opened the evening with their first-ever performance, playing a fun set of stripped-down, retro garage rock.  


Del Venicci was up next, exploring the territory between dream-pop and shoegaze.


The third performance of the night was a loud set by Atlanta punkers GHB (formerly The Get High Boys).


The Coathangers headlined.


The set highlight for me was a near-perfect rendition of their song Adderall, with Julia Kugel's backing vocals clearly audible and right on note, but then, I'm partial to that song anyway.
