Ello,
How's everyone? We are doing alright. Tour has been interesting. Moving along.. singing a song. Chicago was fun, 2 shows in one night. We've been shooting video.. should post soon.
Apologies to Denver. Every tour there has to be THAT night. Speakeasy Tiger was fun..Blackgold awesome as usual.. then our turn. See the day started off on the wrong foot. We pull into Denver to find liquid explosion all over our back tire. We were hoping it could be fixed in a day. We had it towed and hitched a ride with Blackgold to the venue. To make it easier the girls were going to borrow the boys amps. I brought my kit. Forward to us about to play. We are setting up.. and the sound guy starts hooking us up. Hooks my monitor to the back of me...He seemed a little flushed and rushed. He gets off stage no line check.. just a "ready lets go!". My friend rockstar AAron introduces us and we start BB. All down hill from there... non stop feedback, jenns monitor is out. Then the amp goes out. Jenn tells the sound guy to go direct. He does but he simply cannot find the mix. Basically he sucked.

We played probably one of the worst shows ever in the history of this band. those who came to see us were nothing short of supportive. Still it breaks our hearts to not be able to give them a show they payed to see. We apologies times a thousand. Those seeing us for the first time im sure wont be back. After the show.. we were sad and embarrassed and just wanted to leave. Sound guy starts following Nina around saying "hey can i talk to you" Nina replies with a "not right now man". I then see him out on the floor and he can keeps telling me "your a rockstar" whatever the hell that means. It was so obvious he was drunk. He then starts to push our friends out of the floor . He starts blaming bad sound all on the amp. We start loading out and hear the partial owner of Benders saying how pissed she was at Nina. Turns out the sound guy told her Nina told him" Dont talk to me man, you have a penis"

WTF. Thats the most silliest thing i've ever heard. Nina would never say such a thing.We leave not arguing..Jenn replyin in in the upmost respect to being booted.
Whats so sad... is that we really liked Benders alot. We have memories there. It was the first venue we played when we first started as a band. Not to say that Benders is bad.. because its not. It takes one douche bag to ruin a night. And the sound guy at Benders in a complete douche.

We left, hung out with Blackgold.. and got back to our motel hoping to awake to some good news about the van. Get the call the next morning that the van needs a new axel and its needs to be ordered and shipped from Kentucky. Bummer. That meant we had to stay in Denver and wait for the part. We had to cancel SLC in Utah, Boise,ID and Seattle. We are trying to  make the best of it. Looking at it as a vacation of sorts. Clearing the mind. Exploring Denver. Jenn was born here. Going to see Gossip and MEN tonight. May do something on stage with MEN... we'll see.

Make sure you still go out and see Blackgold. Their a great band and they will still be playing.

Send good vibes our way and we will be seeing you soon!
More fun shows to be annouced to close out this crazy year

Current mood:  anxious
Helllooooo
So here we are in South Carolina. Taking it easy watching trash t.v. Stallllionairesss. Ha.
Tours been interesting so far. Texas your always fun. We had Daria, our favorite Austinite, come on stage and do her thing. Too much of her thing. None the less she was fun. Dallas and Houston was another round of good times too. Over all..thank you Texas. Next stop was somewhere in Missouri. Lots of dancing, possible hallucinates being passed around among the dancers....which was causing them to break out the glow sticks. We played, we saw, we left. Met up with our new friends Black Gold in Atlanta and met a new Atlanta friend Nastassia, shes rad. Drunken Unicorn was a cool place... nice old club vibes.

Fixed the breaks in the Silver Bullet and now we are in SC. Tomorrow, The Milestone in North Carolina.
I think im getting a cold.

Jenn is shooting some video.. so we will have that soon. Im tweetin pics so join us at twitter.com/girlinacoma.

Guess what... we are working on a special treat for all of you after this tour. We are starting on it now.. and soon it will be in your hands.

More soon.

Hello All,
We are getting ready to hit the road again! Yayayaya. Some more new merch.. shirt designed by Jenn and Trio B.C. jackets!
Been practicing all week.. gunna try and bust a cover out. The band- Velvet Underground.
We plan on finishing the year off with touring and a fun suprise show on New Years eve.. We will annouce where and with who later.

For this tour we are off with a band called Black Gold.. check them out here : myspace.com/blackgold. They will be coming off a tour with Neko Case. We are super excited and you can start getting your presale tickets already for some of the shows. Los Angeles Troubadour tickets are already available too. Go to the venue .. they are cheaper. It's always usually cheaper if you buy them direct.. but if your a busy guy or girl and dont mind the extra fees.. then online is for you. We are still working on an El Paso date but all the dates are pretty much up.

This Saturday we have a free show here in San Antonio at the Market Square main plaza. Pinata Protest, Bombasta , Groupo Fasma and more will be playing too. Starts at noon and we will hit the stage at 10:00pm. Get there early going to be a rad day... Here is the flyer:

Many of you know that the band has been dealing with legal issues that we have been able to talk about until now. Today Jenn and Nina went before a Grand Jury in Houston, Texas to face charges of felony assault on a public servant. We are happy to announce that both Jenn and Nina received a “No Bill” which means that they have decided not to indict the girls and the case is over with no criminal case against the girls. The band is relieved that this ordeal is over and that justice system worked. Thank you to our family, friends, club owners and especially all the fans that stood behind us and believed in us throughout it all. xo-Jenn,Nina and Phanie

BB
You sing so strange now I scream, Well leave me alone.
You don’t know what to say now I scream, Well leave me alone.
You don’t know what you do now I scream, Well leave me alone.
You don’t know what you do now.
Oh you little man. Oh doing all you can. You little man, you’ll find your way at the end of the day.
I know everyone has a dark little corner to go everyone has a dark little corner.
I know I know.
Oh you little man. Oh doing all you can. You little man, you’ll find your way at the end of the day.
Oh you little man. Oh doing all you can. You little man, you’ll find your way at the end of the day.

STATIC MIND
Just because oh I’m not heavy doesn’t mean he doesn’t love me oh you’re gonna love me ‘cause I’m sane.
Oh you’re making me rock back and forth inside my lonely boat.
Everyone will try to stop what they know they cannot control.
And it’s a ride on the other side and it’s a one way ticket to my other mind.
You’re so attractive attractive attractive when you fall.
And it’s your heart beating inside and it’s a one way ticket to my other mind.
I’m so attractive attractive attractive when I fall.
And I’m just reading.
Just because oh I’m not heavy doesn’t mean he doesn’t love me oh you’re gonna love me ‘cause I’m sane.
Oh reasons not to leave multiply like rabbits with hard drinks.
Everyone will try to stomp as I drift on back into my sheets.
And it’s a ride on the other side and it’s a one way ticket to my other mind.
You’re so attractive attractive attractive when you fall.
And it’s your heart beating inside and it’s a one way ticket to my other mind.
I’m so attractive attractive attractive when I fall.
And I’m just reading.
Just because oh I’m not heavy doesn’t mean he doesn’t love me oh you’re gonna love me ‘cause I’m oh, you’re gonna love me ‘cause I’m oh, you’re gonna love me ‘cause I’m sane.

VINO
Are you awake? Are you awake?
And I say, I never did fall so far from the tree.
And you will save and you will save all of our souls, last conversation you had to have known.
I know the game you play but wait but wait but wait but wait.
And I will save and I will save all my words for someone who speaks my language so clear.
Were you awake? Were you awake?
When I said my story so clear, the dream you were in.
I know the game I play but wait but wait but wait but wait.
Nothing can wait for the tide and feelings aren’t over.
Nothing can wait for the tide and feelings aren’t.
Are you awake? Are you awake?
Are you awake? Are you awake?
I would wait for the day when my momma would say that it would be ok.
Better luck for tomorrow.
And I know it’s ok ‘cause my momma did say that it would be ok.
Better luck for tomorrow.
Better luck for tomorrow.
And I will save and I will save all my words for someone who speaks my language so clear.
And I will wait and I will wait for your grace to shine in my eyes, the dream you were in.
I know the game we play but wait but wait but wait but wait.
Nothing can wait for the tide and feelings aren’t.
I know the game we play.
Nothing can wait for the tide and feelings aren’t.
I know the game we play.
Nothing can wait for the tide and feelings aren’t.

BABY BOY
All of these faces yet nothing’s the same Alice in her land your soul mate it’s sane.
You are not waiting you are not waiting you are not waiting for.
You are just savin’ the rich for the poor although you’re outdated you still have a score.
We are not savin’ we are not savin’ you are not savin’ for.
You say Oh baby boy you’ve grown up with your toys and now your face is red cause you’re blushing again. Now your face is red cause you’re blushing.
Oh I feel so alive for the first time. All of these faces yet nothing’s the same Alice in her land your soul mate it’s sane.
You are not waiting you are not waiting you are not waiting for.
                                                                                                                                 You say Oh baby boy you’ve grown up with your toys and now your face is red cause you’re blushing again. Now your face is red cause you’re blushing.
I want to get close to you and make sure we’re falling.
Back down to the eyes are blue and make sure were falling, falling down.
All of these faces yet nothing’s the same Alice in her land your soul mate it’s sane.
You are not waiting you are not waiting you are not waiting for. Oh oh
Oh baby boy you’ve grown up with your toys. Oh oh

EL MONTE
I want to wash all of your clothes and make you feel warm when you’re cold.
And scratch you when you got an itch.
I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do.
I do want to marry you.
I want to suck all of your toes and love you when you’re feeling low.
And fall down when you scream, Bang!
I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do.
I do want to sing with you.
Scream it out, You’re the first in the game.
Fail to mention now, you’ve forgotten my name.
Stare down the barrel of your own gun ‘cause it’s yours.
Stare down the barrel of your own gun ‘cause it’s yours.
I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do.
I do want to marry you.
Am I just another figure to call upon when you’re bored?
Am I something else to ignore?
Am I just another score, you adore?

IN THE DAY
You’re alone. Everyone around you they’re just asking. Everyone around you they’re just asking.
Oh what did you expect?
In the day. I would smile clear without the crowd now. You would smile clear without the crowd now.
Oh what did you expect?
In the day oh in the day oh in the day oh in the day it’s just the same now.
In the day oh in the day oh in the day oh in the day it’s just the same now.
Smash into my head.
Smash into my head.
I’m alone. Everyone around me they’re just grabbing. Everyone around me they’re just grabbing grabbing.
Oh what did you expect?
With the fame comes with all the stories you can’t claim comes with all the faces you will shed.
Oh what did you expect?
In the day oh in the day oh in the day oh in the day it’s just the same now.
In the day oh in the day oh in the day oh in the day it’s just the same now.
Smash into my head.
Smash into my head.
In the day oh in the day oh in the day oh in the day it’s just the same now.
In the day oh in the day oh in the day oh in the day it’s just the same now.

SLAUGHTER LANE
We like the man with the roamin’ hands and rushin' fingers. And you know what I couldn’t quite stand is how you always make me mad.
I said, My baby my darling I didn’t want to hold you.
My baby my darling I didn’t want to hold you down so I let you roam all around town.
But here we go again we’re running a down that road.
Yeah, here we go again we’re running a down that road.
I said a tic toc away we walk tic toc away we walking down now towards that street now.
And when your man comes runnin’ through.
And when your man comes runnin’ through.
He’s gonna shiver down in you.
Oh when your man comes runnin’ through.
Yeah, here we go again we’re running a down that road.
Yeah, here we go again we’re running a down that road.
Then I know how hard it is to stop a speeding train.
Then I know how hard it is to stop a speeding train.
Then I know how hard it is to stop a speeding train.

TRAIL
Worry, why do you always worry?
You have so many problems that’s why we’re in a hurry.
I’m alright for now I’ll just never sleep again but in the day. But in the day.
In silence I live. In silence I.
Smile, smile although I know there are no perfect pictures only fruitless figures.
Your condescending stare at life scares chance away.
But who will try? And not pass by.
In silence I live. In silence I live.
You’ll be ok if say to me, So I’ll take all the push and the first mistakes I wrap my arms around those who try to escape.
You’ll be ok if you stay away.
Oh there is a distance I am traveling alone it seems while all are watching.
Please don’t grab me for I am carefully hiding my trail.

PLEASURE AND PAIN
Hear me on again you are not the one pretend it’s over. Over.
Everyone is on the run you are left there with the gun it’s over. Over.
Let it breathe.
You are the one don’t you see.
You tried so hard at fake and now you’re left to blame.
And all I know is what I’m told and it’s oh.
Everyone must have they’re fun and it’s oh.
Let it breathe.
You are the one don’t you see.
You tried so hard at fake and now you’re left to blame.
Oh you spin me around it’s tomorrow’s excuse when you’re begging for the pleasure and the pain.
Doctor doctor let me have my water.
Hear me on again oh.
I’m the one safe I am just the one safe.
Hear me on again oh.
Let it breathe.
You are the one don’t you see.
You tried so hard at fake and now you’re left to blame.
Oh you spin me around it’s tomorrow’s excuse when you’re begging for the pleasure and the pain.

JOANIE IN THE CITY
She’s walking her way no fear of what to say her eyeliner’s thick.
Cast shadows night and day.
She’s always looking forward always looking forward.
Limelight calls out, Don’t stray.
What’s her name? What’s her name?
Everyone this is Joanie baby.
She’s running away to the city.
Just a spit shine your boots never succumb to suits. Her bashful attack.
While loving life’s new rhymes.
She’s always looking forward always looking forward.
Lights they stay in her mind.
What’s her name? What’s her name?
Everyone this is Joanie baby.
She’s running away to the city.
We’re walking her way fumbling just what to say just stand back and clap.
She’s crazy
She’s always looking forward always looking forward.
Spotlight calls out, Don’t stray.
What’s her name? What’s her name?
Everyone this is Joanie baby.
She’s running away to the city.
She’s running away to the city.
She’s running away to the city.

PINK LEMONADE
You’re the one whose just spinnin’ round you never knew just what to do.
When everything came crashin’ down the rainy days felt not so blue.
Now you’re just insane. You’ll never be the same. Now you’re just insane. Hey
Pink lemonade on a sunny day is the routine killing you?
A cancer weighs on your fragile brain the only cure is something new.
Now you’re just insane. You’ll never be the same. Now you’re just insane. Hey
Now you’re just insane. You’ll never be the same.
No! No! No! I am insane never be the same.
Bow down to who claimed you and know know know know know know know your pain with pink lemondade. Pink lemonade.
Bow down to who claimed you and know know know know know know know your pain with pink lemondade. Pink lemonade.

EMPTY PROMISE
Well I went to my black hole still unknown.
I know I know I know that you are gonna leave.
I know I know I know that you are gonna leave.
Will you stay for me? I won’t beg oh please.
I know I know I know that you are gonna leave.
I know I know I know that you are gonna leave.

VEN CERCA
Ven cerca
Un poquitito mas cerca
Que te quiero abrazar
Y besar
Ven cerca
Ven cerca
Un poquitito mas cerca
Quiero sentirte aqui
Junto a mi
Ven cerca
Quiero tomar tu mano
Y hacerte comprender
Y cuando beso tu boca
Sentirte estremecer
Vida no te separes
En los demas no repares
Solo piensa que estas
Junto a mi una vez mas
Acercate ya mas
Mas de lo que ya estas
Cuando te tenga mas cerca
Te voy a trastornar
Ven cerca
Malo no he de te tratar
Quiero sentirte cerca
Tu aliento respirar
Ven cerca
Un poquitito
Casi casi pero falta
Asi vida
. We’re insane.

album has been doing great. crtics receiving it well. some a bit confused of the fact that we didnt choose a genre. but what fun is that? if you like something then play it. simple. don't over analyze.. just listen.

those of you coming to our shows.. your so so amazing. you come from near and far, different backgrounds and different stories. we sincerly love you all . thanks for the gifts, the paintings, the turtle for leonard, the starfish, the pedal, the vegan cookies and shoes, the love. thank you for flying from Ireland to see us in Janesville WI. thank you nikki for driving 2 hrs to see 3 songs and still being cute.

We are halfway threw the tour..on our way to the west and we cant wait!! and we plan on doing it all again in the fall.

saw the new videos for "el monte" and "static mind" and we are sooo excited for you all to see em. they need little tweeks and there all ready to go.

patience.

so my promise is every chance i get im going to send you photos and write about the night so that i have juicy stories to tell. well not juicy. more detailed i mean.
if you havent bought trio bc.. get a copy. we have vinyl too. we actually charted on cmj.

so thank you :)

Lastly, apryl may you have peace. we will always remember your pretty smile in the crowd.
