Fortunately I had a tape recorder handy one night during a card game. Gramper was his silly self and the jokes just kept coming.

I sometimes feel like an archaeologist. I scour around the studio, search the Internet, venture out to local venues in search of something special, something different. There’s a myriad of musical artists scattered throughout the world. Different veins offer different styles like the many cultures from current and ancient civilizations. It’s my quest to find a piece of rock that stands out among the rest. One that is a true gem and worth being on display for all to see. 

I remember combing the studio in 2012, looking for something new to play on the show. The CD for Exits and All the Rest caught my eye. It was by a band called Girl in a Coma – cool play on a cherished Morrissey song. I popped it into the player and I was instantly mesmerized. The sound, the energy, the distortion, the growwwl….I knew right away that this trio from San Antonio, Texas was Something Different. 

Girl in a Coma released their last album in 2011. The album, liked by both critics and fans, left many craving more. There was talk, that after a tour in 2012, GIAC would return to the studio in 2013 to lay down the next chapter of tracks. 2014 and 2015 went by and still no release. Now we have a better understanding of why. Their lead singer, Nina Diaz, was going through a difficult period, in a dark place and drifting away.

Nina has rebounded and is currently exploring her talents and gaining experience as a solo artist. Her journey is chronicled on Nina’s first solo album, “The Beat is Dead”, released on October 28th.
