The Coathangers @ Pianos (more by Faith-Ann Young)
Mika Miko, the Strange Boys, the Coathangers and Fiasco all converge in New York City for a Saturday, June 13th show at the Market Hotel.
I say converge because that show is part of the Mika Miko/Strange Boys tour that’ll be cutting across the US in June. The Coathangers share the bill on some dates. That’s until July, when the Strange Boys switch ships and continue on the road with just the Coathangers. All details below.
The Coathangers, who releaed their third record, Scramble, on Suicide Squeeze in early April, also play another NYC show on Sunday, June 14th at Brooklyn’s Glasslands Gallery with Ex Humans, K-Holes, DJ Aliz. The same Sunday, Mika Miko and the Strange Boys will venture into Manhattan for a show at the Cake Shop.
Both mentioned Brooklyn shows happen during the Northside Festival.
Strange Boys’ debut record, And Girls Club, came out in March on In the Red. Mika Miko’s newest, We Be Xuxa, is coming out May 5th on Post Present Medium.
Fiasco doesn’t have a new record — though in January ’09 they did release a free, split, two-song EP (with NYC band Banzai) called Fabulous Bozo, where both bands cover the NYC band Snuffy. It’s available courtesy of Beautiful Records for free (zip file above). Fiasco is also playing this year’s Citysol Festival at Stuyvesant Cove Park on Tuesday, July 7th in July. Carebears on Fire played Citysol in 2008.
