A junior high bonding moment over tortured Morrissey music led to the formation of the San Antonio band Girl in a Coma. Now the band - Jenn Alva and sisters Phanie and Nina Diaz - is getting attention from rock gods like Joan Jett. Their new album Trio B.C. pays tribute to the sisters' grandfather, who introduced them to the Tejano music he played in the 1950s. Produced by Leital Molad.

Fantastic interview. Love you, Alan! You were one of the main influences for me to get back into acting later ...

Really difficult to convey this as a "sound story" and it was done beautifully. Really compelling.

Edge, thanks for the heads up - not sure what happened. The URL was valid last week...appears their site has disappeared! The link is now changed to their myspace page.
The link to Girl in a Coma's website is a dead link. What gives?
i love giac, but i hope they don't ever get to the point where they're selling out major venues and performing to crowds of thousands. i much prefer seeing them perform in small venues.
So inspiring...These ladies are amazing! With that much drive, passion and talent, it won't be long before they are selling out major venues and performing to crowds of thousands.
