Creative Loafing asks The Coathangers about what they want out of the local Atlanta music scene for 2012.

“It’s super important for Atlanta bands to get out on the road and remind the rest of the country that we are rock ‘n’ rollers too! That will bring more attention to the city and give the scene some more credibility.

And all shows should have free pony rides and whiskey shots … Thank you.”

NYE 2012 with The Coathangers at The Star Bar in their hometown, Atlanta, GA. Gun Party and Street Violence also perform.

Filmed and edited by Video Rahim.
