Bangs (often erroneously referred to as the Bangs) was an American punk rock band from Olympia, Washington. The band was formed in 1997 by the guitarist Sarah Utter, after recruiting her high-school friend Jesse Fox on drums and Maggie Vail. Vail had to learn how to play bass guitar to be in the band, as the only instruments she played before were drums, guitar, cello and clarinet. Bangs broke up in September 2004 after Utter moved to Los Angeles.
These are photos from concerts where The Bangs played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
