It's definitely an amazing thing. I mean, whoever gets to tour with their main influence?! We feel very lucky to be on tour with him and we’re just amazed that he likes us. He could have easily been “Girl in a Coma? What a stupid name! I am not listening to this.” But he did listen and he liked it. It’s obvious we are fans. We really do respect him though and try not to be fans while we tour. We are there to do our thing and to show our music. We do get nervous because the people are not there to see us, and we’re just another block to the main show. We never know how the Moz fans will be, they are definitely fanatical for him. But overall, we have been well received and always have a great time playing for them.

Where are you hoping to be in five years time? What do you want for your careers/music?

We hope to still be doing the same thing. Touring and making albums. Look at Sonic Youth, what they’re doing is amazing, still making albums, still touring. It’s great. We plan to be around for a long time.

To listen to more tracks by Girl In A Coma you can visit their MySpace or their website. I suggest you just buy their fabulous debut album Both Before I'm Gone, from either Amazon or iTunes, as quickly as you can.

How does this thing work againI'm a writer and music journalist originally from Salt Lake City, but now living in Scotland. I was a Punk/Goth in the '80s and these artistic influences have stayed with me; although a love of Chopin, chamber music, and Spanish guitar would seem to belie this. I am one of many assistant music editors at Blogcritics.org, staff writer for a gay men's magazine based in Edinburgh, and a freelance writer.

Interesting! I'm glad you did this interview, because I've never heard of these guys before. I'm kinda digging it, which surprises me because it goes against my usual reaction of "bands named after another band's song suck." These guys have proved it's possible to pull it off, and how...
