wow SJN, prepare to have your heads explode

After months and months of hard work, the first issue of Coathangers is finally out!

Contents include: sexual harrassment/sexism in the DIY hardcore-punk scene, a look into body image, an examination of the cultural meanings of the “cunt”, a C.L.I.T Fest 2008 report, art, poetry, comics, and more.

Copies will be given out at the fest, so keep a lookout for it, folks.

Also, please check the first post in this thread as more info has been added. There will also be the official fest shirts (24 pieces only!), limited edition t-shirts (to be unveiled by the end of the week) and patches for sale at the fest.

Do note that due to the nature of the fest, it will kick off at 12pm, so if you don't want to miss out on anything, please don't be late! Early birds will be getting free goodies at the door. There will also be yummy vegan food (whilst supplies last) for everyone.

Looking forward to see you there! It will be a blast.

can someone from outside KL get a shirt?
me likey!

Yeah of course! Just email coathangersrevolt@gmail.com to pre-order.

Latest updates: SELF-RIGHTEOUS BASTARDS will not be able to play the fest due to unforeseen circumstances (what a cliché, right, but what can I say?). Replacing them will be PAZAHORA, dark crust from Singapore. WEOT SKAM from Penang have also been added to the fest line-up; they will be opening the fest with a thrash!

Flyer with full programme details below:

This is a sample image of the limited edition shirts that was sold at the fest. Right now, I still have 2 size Ls (in black) and 1 size XL (in dark blue) on hand. They are going for SGD$10 (not inclusive of postage) each. Hit me up if you'd like one, thanks.
