Discography
Girl in a Coma Morrissey fans should spot the obvious reference to "Girlfriend in a Coma", and I'll have to admit that was the reason why I've been following the career of Girl in a Coma since 2004 through a handful of wonderful demos.

I just got word that one of my favorite band, Girl in a Coma, covered one of my favorite singer, David Bowie, all wrapped up by a new video by one of my favorite director, Robert Rodriguez.
The song is taken from their Adventures in Coverland series of cover 7", out on Blackheart Records (yes, that is Joan "Runnaway" Jett's record label).
I can only speculate about the Rodriguez video came about because GIAC's song, "Yo Oigo", appeared on the soundtrack to the trailer-turned-movie Machete. However, according to Spin.com, the director was already a big fan.
The music video came from last year's SXSW, where Rodriguez filmed clips of them, then followed up with their hometown gig in San Antonio. Basically, he surprised the girls with the video for "As the World Falls Down".
What's interesting about the music video, is that the audio is a mixture of GIAC's "BB" and maybe a live version of the Bowie cover. Check out the original studio version from Adventures in Coverland on Blackheart's website.
Here's the latest tour dates, check them out if they're coming to your town:
