Coughs broke up in November of 2006 after jamming together for nearly 6 years, playing their last show with the Slits in Chicago. All of its members went to form several other bands, some of which are still active. Anya (vox) and Carrie (bass) are currently members of CACAW, Jail (keys/sax) performs solo as Forced into Femininity, Jon (drums) performs solo as Bombbanks as well as Manhattan Raid, and Seth (drums) is currently a member of Ga’an, Zath, Oakeater, and has a solo project called Psychic Steel. Vanessa (guitar) is in a duo called Sister Fucker with Erin Allen (Child Pornography, Work, High Castle) . Maybe when they’re old and have given up on life they will reunite and rekindle their post-adolescent angst to unleash upon the masses. Until then…
Coughs are a clamouring six piece wrecking crew with two drummers, a sax/keyboardist, a bass player, a guitarist, and an unhinged lead singer. This motley crew comes at you with a hotwired milkshake of punked out red bull rock. Easily putting on the most memorable live shows of the 2000’s, lead singer Anya Davidson is a frothing wraith of unquestionable furious intent. Backed by a double drummer band using discarded 55 gallon oil barrels, Coughs brings the tribal whoomp to a blurry sandwich of fuzzed out organ/sax riffery and guitar slice. This is the new ROCK, be here at GROUND ZERO! - LOAD RECORDS |
