Girl In a Coma is an American indie rock band from San Antonio, Texas, United States, formerly on Joan Jett's Blackheart Records label.

[citation needed] Stephanie "Phanie" Diaz started learning how to play the acoustic guitar when she was eleven.

[3][4] The partners asked Phanie's younger sister, Nina Diaz, to join their band after she shared with them a song she had written.

[3][10] In 2006, while filming the television series pilot for the SiTV show Jammin, the girls met Joan Jett.

Jett and producer Kenny Laguna signed the girls to a contract with Blackheart Records after seeing them perform at the Knitting Factory in New York City.

Besides Morrissey, Girl in a Coma have opened for Frank Black, The Pogues, Tegan and Sara, Social Distortion and others.

The incident began when one of the officers, who was working as a security guard, saw Diaz slap her boyfriend and attempted to separate the couple.

[21] In September 2018, Phanie Diaz and Jenn Alva held the band's final performance at Taco Fest in San Antonio.

[25] Felix Contreras of National Public Radio (NPR) conducted an interview with Girl in a Coma where they opened up about not speaking Spanish and not knowing the language well.

[27] In the interview by www.musicpix.net of Girl in a Coma, the band said that they had influences from Selena Quintanilla, especially because she was also from Texas and she was the first Latina to break out in a male dominated industry.

This 2006 episode captured the girls in their music element: writing songs, recording, performing, and interviewing, all in their hometown of San Antonio, Texas.

With the help of directors Jim Mendiola and Greg Olliver, Girl in a Coma was able to film all four videos in about a year and a half.

For the "Road to Home" music video, Girl in a Coma featured a guest star to perform in it, Amanda Lepore.

The music video "Clumsy Sky" was filmed in a nightclub in their hometown of San Antonio, called Lerma's Nite Club.

Again, with the directing of Jim Mendiola, and on location in San Antonio, Texas, Girl in a Coma filmed both "El Monte", and "Static Mind", in July 2009.

The one other music video that the band filmed from their third album was for "Walkin' After Midnight", which was Patsy Cline's original song.
