Coachwhips

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coachwhips were a three-piece noise/punk rock outfit from San Francisco, California formed in 2001. John Dwyer (Pink and Brown (Dwyer was Pink), Landed, Burmese, The Ohsees, Yikes, The Hospitals) was the guitarist/vocalist. John Harlow played drums and Mary Ann McNamara played keyboard/tambourine and provided backing vocals. In their 2nd incarnation, Val (tronic) played keyboard/tambourine, and Matt Hartman (former guitarist for Cat Power, current drummer for Sic Alps) played drums. The Coachwhips are known for their stripped-down, unpolished garage rock and completely inaudible lyrics, similar to The Oblivians and The Gories. The Coachwhips played their last show in New York City in late 2005.
