The Bangs Biography
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. Their last show, at Olympia's Eagles Hall and part of Kill Rock Stars 'Yeah! Fest!' was festive and bittersweet. Vail has since relocated to Portland, Oregon, where she plays in the bands Romancing and Leti Angel.
