Coachwhips

Coachwhips was a San Francisco-based band composed of three members: guitarist and vocalist John Dwyer, drummer John Harlow and keyboardist Mary Ann McNamara. The rock and roll band formed in 2001, and its unintelligible lyrics and stripped-down style pioneered the massive wave of garage rock that ruled the Bay Area during the 2000s. Coachwhips stopped playing together in 2005, but the band reunified in 2014 for a series shows at South by Southwest.
