Hatcham Social were scheduled to open for the Charlatans UK at Maxwell’s tonight, until that tour was canceled. Now Hatcham are going on tour with Echo and the Bunnymen in the fall, though they won’t be opening the show Echo just announced at Mercury Lounge.

Kid Koala presents The Slew: Live – a show that’s “drums, bass/keys [featuring ex-Wolfmother rhythm section]…and six turntables [in] seventy minutes of raw guitar cuts and heavy beats” – at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Adira Amram opens. Her video for “Mom Song” is below.

According to their bio, “In less than three years, The Coathangers, Julia Kugel (guitar/vocals), Stephanie Luke (drums/vocals), Candice Jones (keyboard/vocals), and Meredith Franco (bass/vocals) have grown from a band of girlfriends buying the cheapest instruments an Atlanta pawn shop could offer, to a group of formidable, adaptable performers…”

The Coathangers played the Maze at DBA last night. Tonight they play at Cake Shop with Prisms, Ex-Humans and The Nymphets. Bands at the Maze tonight include Nymph, Emma Kupa, Eskalators, Ava Luna, Aldertone and Air Waves.

Also from the South (though she lives in NYC show): Jemina Pearl plays Bruar Falls tonight. In October she goes on tour with Islands.
