The last time I saw Girl in a Coma was two years ago, at the (new) Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. About halfway through, I thought to myself Does Joan Jett know about these ladies? I consulted the internet on the subject as soon as I got home, and it turned out she certainly did, because they are signed to her label.
Robert Rodriguez, director of Sin City is also a fan, so much so that he made the video below for them as a present. It’s a mixture of footage from two different shows, one at SXSW and one in their hometown of San Antonio, Texas, and while they have many beautiful videos, I thought this one really captured the essence of who they are, and the energy of their live show.
Also, New Yorkers and adjacent folks, they’ll be playing a free show with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts at Coney Island on July 14. Get down there if you can.
