¿Cuántos discos "tributo a…" han escuchado? Parece un método eficiente el de reunir a muchas bandas, hacer que elijan la canción que más les guste de un grupo y ponerlos a tocar para así grabar un disco que, seguramente se venderá. Tal vez no es el proceso adecuado el [...]
Love or hate The Smiths , it's a testament to their songwriting legacy that the B-side "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" alone has been covered more than a dozen times by artists ranging from the Deftones and The Dream Academy to Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. Reactions to The Smiths' music run from delirious adoration to not being able to stand the sound of Morrissey's voice; Please, Please, Please is a must-get for the former category and just may be the most perfectly acceptable dose of Moz for those who fall into the [...]

all photos by debi del grande With the name obviously inspired by the Smith's song "Girlfriend in a Coma," I was wondering if this was going to be another band relying on props and gimmicks and not really much talent. But I recalled that I had caught the band a long time ago opening for someone. When and where was the question. I do remember they were good, so I hit the Echoplex on Friday night to join the long line of many Latina female fans. The Mexican-American trio of sisters Nina (vocals/guitar) and Phanie Diaz [...]

No alt or indie rock for Sassy, Dolorata, or Girl In A Coma -- you came to this show to get your rock on.
I first mentioned them on the blog six years ago when they were still known as Girls In A Coma but, after buying their debut album in 2007, Girl In A Coma fell off my musical radar. Their latest single suggests I have a lot of catching up to do. A great song for those of us who still have a soft spot for jangly guitars. . . . and Owen likes the trains in the video.
GIRL IN A COMA, FENCES, THE BLACK BOX REVELATION ( Doug Fir , 830 E Burnside) Girl in a Coma features three badass women from San Antonio with a clear and present Morrissey fixation, producing Smiths-influenced jangle pop so convincing that the Great Moz tapped them to open his 2007 tour. Fences features three guys from Seattle led by one Christopher Mansfield, producing strummy, punchy, old-fashioned indie rock that has thus far escaped the notice of Morrissey. Tonight, both bands light up the stage at the Doug Fir. DAVID SCHMADER [...]
The San Antonio all gal band, Girl In A Coma, named after the particular Smith's song, has just released their third proper album, Exits And All The Rest. And for those who are just discovered them (myself included), this is one of those cases where judging books by their covers could lead to you missing [...]

By the end of the Girl in a Coma show Saturday night, a leather-jacketed guy was riding piggyback on the top of another guy's shoulders. It's a move for an outdoor festival, not a dark and claustrophobic club like Chicago's Double Door, but the exuberant reaction fit the hurtling barrel of punk, tejano, grunge, and rockabilly the San Antonio trio spun. Girl in a Coma, signed to Joan Jett's Blackheart label in 2006, is more than five years into a busy career that has included four albums and a stint opening for [...]

Coming from San Antonio, Girl in a Coma formed when Jenn Alva and Phanie Diaz met in Jr High with a mutual love for "the Smiths, Nirvana, and skipping school." Eventually Nina Diaz, Phanie's younger sister, joined the band on vocals. The band eventually hit the road in efforts to build up a fan base. In 2006 playing New York's Knitting Factory as part of a cable tv show for unknown bands. Producers were so impressed they signed Girl in a Coma to their label, Blackheart Records. In 2007, the band released their debut album, "Both Before [...]
