Coat or Die!
Wednesday, April 9, 2008
Guest hosted this week by Gavon Laessig
Coat Party exudes enough vim and vigor to melt the eyes out of your sockets. This Lawrence dance-rock foursome—especially when performing live—will mash punked-up Gang of Four style rhythm, Gameboy soundtrack atmospherics and dual shout along vocals all over your face! Kyle Gowdy alternates between synths and guitar with equal disdain for your tinnitus, Nicholas Kotlinski smashes his drum kit into paste, and Alison Cain tag teams vocals with Cassie Peters. Get too close to Cain and Peters while they’re whirling like dervishes and howling about shooting lasers from their fingers, and you’re liable to get some inadvertent groin trauma in the vein of the prank from which Coat Party derives their name. They’ve released several EPs and 7 inches, are putting the finishing touches on both an upcoming single and album, and a fall tour is gestating. While Alison Cain is on sabbatical in Japan, Cassie Peters, Nicholas Kotlinski and Kyle Gowdy joined us for a very bleary-eyed conversation the morning after KU’s Final Four victory.
