New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Girl in a Coma premiered their latest video for their song "Their Cell" recently, a track from their debut album 'Both Before I'm Gone,' released on Joan Jett's Blackheart Records label. The video was directed by Jim Mendiola and filmed at an old prison 75 miles outside of San Antonio. The Gonzales jail, built in 1885 and one of the great historic sites in Texas, is now a museum. Early in the video we see Phanie Diaz (drummer) reading 'Ghosts Of Gonzales,' a book on haunted places in Gonzales with a chapter on the old jail. Also featured in the video are drawings of Nina Diaz (guitar, vox) by artist Shizu Saldamando, who draws inspiration from pano arte, a form of prison art in which inmates use ballpoint pens to draw loved ones and religious icons on cotton handkerchiefs. This San Antonio trio joined the October Tegan and Sara tour for a set of US shows and played several dates on the True Colors tour in June. They were also handpicked by Morrissey to open his US/European 07/08 tours. Says Filter Magazine, in a recent live review of the trio on tour with Tegan and Sara: "...the true beauty of their sound is the patient way that [Nina] Diaz' vocals ride over near-punk with an artful sophistication of Linda Perry or Siouxie Sioux."
