Following a triumphant West Coast run, San Antonio’s Girl In A Coma has announced a headlining summer tour of the East Coast and Midwest. The band has been taking over stages nationwide since the November release of their latest album Exits & All the Rest, which NPR named one of 2011’s best albums and recently won an Independent Music Awards for Best Independent/Alternative Rock Album. In celebration of the tour, the band are offering a free MP3 of album track “One Eyed Fool,” which is a fun tune in the spirit of, and better than, early Sleater-Kinney.
Girl in a Coma has blazed a singular trail since Nina Diaz joined the band at age 13, and has found champions and comrades along the way including Joan Jett (who signed them), Morrissey, Sia, Tegan and Sara, The Pogues and Amanda Palmer who have hand-selected them for tours. All the while, they have been building one of the most impassioned and diverse fan bases in music. Girl in a Coma are that rare feral band, unaffected by trends, that has managed to stay wild and thrill us at every turn. Don’t miss out on catching them live!
