Austin Sound Check

Girl in a Coma at Pachanga Fest this Saturday

by Ana Wolken on May 28th, 2008

Pachanga FestThe first annual Pachanga Festival will be held this Saturday at Waterloo Park. Headliners include Vallejo, Grupo Fantasma, Maneja Beto and many more. I’m most excited to see San Antonio natives Girl in a Coma.

As if being signed to Joan Jett’s Blackheart Records wasn’t enough, the Girls are fresh off a solid year of touring which saw them opening for Morrissey in Europe. I should also mention that they play Austin regularly, including SXSW 2007 and 2008. After Pachanga Fest, Girl in a Coma is performing at the Oklahoma City stop on Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors Tour.

It’s fairly obvious that this band is something special. Their updated version of Smiths-meets-Pixies rock, combined with the truly incredible lead vocals of Nina Diaz makes Girl in a Coma a must see. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Visit Girl in a Coma on their website or MySpace. I recommend Their Cell, Say and Clumsy Sky.
