Tour Diary: The Coathangers European Adventure

The Coathangers
Our eclectic team of writers from around Australia – and a couple beyond – with decades of combined experience and interest in all fields.

With a four record, 'Suck My Shirt', recently released via Brisbane label Smack Face Records, US punk, all-girl trio The Coathangers are headed to Oz in January.


On tour throughout western Europe and the UK last month, the girls have supplied a photo-tour diary to whet your appetite.

The Coathangers Tour Diary

We landed in Barcelona and the airline lost Julia's guitar and Steph's drum equipment. We played Primavera Club and it was awesome! Two days later we got our stuff back... Julia had to buy a new case because the airline broke it :(
