Girl In A Coma Team Up With Transistor Six For “One Eyed Fool” Video, Fall Tour Dates

Girl in a Coma

Girl in a Coma teamed up with Austin’s Transistor Six for a live video of “One Eyed Fool” filmed in Super 8! The video was filmed at an unannounced weekday gig and the band’s fans turned out in droves to support the San Antonio trio. “There was a line out the door and around the block and when Jenn, Nina and Phanie hit the stage you couldn’t help but feel the connection with everyone singing the words to all the songs.”

Transistor Six were inspired to work with the band after seeing Girl in a Coma used Super 8 footage in their video for “Smart” from their recent album Exits & All the Rest (Blackheart Records). Along with the “One Eyed Fool” video, they also recorded a five song live session and interview and did a Lomography shoot with the band.

Hot on the heels of their headlining Summer tour, Girl In Coma have announced fall dates in North America with Minus The Bear, Cursive, and a handful of dates with Alkaline Trio.

Girl In A Coma Announce Headlining Summer Tour

Girl in a ComaFollowing 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 is offering a free MP3 of album track “One Eyed Fool,” which you can download here.

The band 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.
