Girl In A Coma Prep For Overseas Morrissey Tour

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Blackheart Records) - Blackheart Records' Girl in a Coma will continue their lifelong dream when they open several dates for the legendary Morrissey in the UK and France over the next month. The trio from San Antonio were hand-picked by Morrissey to open his fall 2007 US tour, and he asked them to rejoin him in 2008. The upcoming dates will be the first live performances for the band overseas.

Before opening for the legend on his U.S. tour, the band was nervous that Morrissey fans might not respond kindly to the Girl in a Coma sound, but their fears were eased during the first show. "Morrissey fans are very critical about what they listen to," says drummer Phanie Diaz. "They could have easily blown us off as typical Moz fanatics... but they learned that we have our own sound, and have definitely given us support."

Be sure to visit the band on MySpace, where they have been a MySpace Music featured artist all week, and you can listen to songs from their debut album "Both Before I'm Gone" and read their blog posts from the road. https://www.myspace.com/girlsinacoma
