Girl In A Coma: Tiny Desk Concert
January 30, 2012 The San Antonio trio gets back to basics to explore its songs' forms and the soul of its lyrics.
By Felix Contreras
One of the best features of our Tiny Desk Concert series is the occasional opportunity to hear a band perform its songs as they were written: with just an acoustic guitar and unamplified voices. That's the case with Girl In A Coma. In an interview, singer Nina Diaz said she writes the band's songs by closing herself off with just a notepad and her acoustic guitar. Which is slightly different than what we get on the band's albums: loud, crunchy guitars and seamless interplay between Phanie Diaz's drums and Jenn Alva's melodic bass work.
For the three songs Girl In A Coma performed during a recent stop in the NPR Music offices on a short East Coast tour, the San Antonio trio deftly gets back to basics to explore not just the form of its songs, but also the soul of its lyrics. You don't easily forget Nina Diaz's voice after you hear it for the first time, and as her songwriting skills grow, so do her vocal performances — it feels as if there's less effort and more emoting.
Nina's sister Phanie Diaz and bassist Alva pull off what I've found to be the Holy Grail of music-making: playing as one rather than merely accompanying each other. Being on stage for a long period of time with the same musicians creates a form of unspoken communication. Girl In A Coma's great songs and riveting performances all benefit from a sense that, while one member writes the songs, all three inhabit them.

Check out the video interview and article on Girl in a Coma featured on the front page of CNN.com today! Part of CNN's In America series, the interview took place last summer when the band opened for Joan Jett and the Blackhearts at the Coney Island Summer Concert Series.

Hello Everyone!
It's been awhile since we blogged but here is a quick one for ya. Jenn is working on a video so we should have that soon. Tour has been great! We started off playing the biggest show yet in San Antonio to over 2500 people! Dallas, Brooklyn,NYC, Chicago were some of the highlights of the tour. Got to see Joan at our NY show. Made some awesome new friends, our tourmates The Coathangers. They left us already and we miss them so if you have a sec go and check them out. Right now we are on tour with Black Box Revelation, a Belgium rocking band. Yesterday we joined up with Fences who will be with us the rest of the way.
SADLY, we had to cancel Denver. Along the way Nina picked up a nasty bug which lead to a sinus infection. She is recovering now and we should be all ready to go in time for Utah.
We got to play some tunes for the Carson Daly show and even charted on Billboard's Hotseekers charts! Thank you to everyone who has bought our new record Exits & All The Rest! Help us continue spreading the word about the album. We are just getting started! We have a lot more to come and a lot more touring to do for this record... and we promise to be back Denver!
We love you all and hope to see you out on the road!
