Q&A with Girl In A Coma’s Jenn Alva; Playing Masquerade, November 7
By Ellen Eldridge I’ll be honest; with a name borrowed from a Smith’s song and a history of hooking up in Junior High School, Girl In A Coma instantly recalled my first attempts at starting a girl group. My basement band never found fruition because my best friend and I couldn’t come up with a […]
