Concert Notice: Girl in a Coma to play ‘Rock Your Body Politic’ in January
December 10th, 2009
If you’re in the mood to celebrate the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade next month, you’re in luck. The Rock Your Body Politic show has one of the best local lineups for the new year with San Antonio’s Girl in a Coma headlining. Not only do you get local faves The Happy Bullets and The Giggle Party, but Something Fabulous will give a dance performance as well. You’ve seen them grace the GayBingo stage before at the Rose Room.
Celebrating “freedom of choice forever,” the concert benefits Planned Parenthood of North Texas. I know, kinda heavy, right? But, if Coma pulls off their show like they did at House of Blues this past summer, it should be a great one. And with the entire band lineup, politics or no, this is a kickass way to get your music in the new year going.
The concert will be at The Loft, 1135 S. Lamar St. on Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the show and can be purchased here.

Girl in a Coma is a great all Latina Band from San Antonio. I recently saw them in Austin at the Famous Stubb’s Venue. Here is a video I took of them playing ‘El Monte’ on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0pAEdQW5nI They opened up that night for Blue October. A must see! Viva Texas!

From the article:
“Celebrating “freedom of choice forever,” the concert benefits Planned Parenthood of North Texas. I know, kinda heavy, right?”
Not heavy at all. The same principles that were used in Eisenstadt vs. Baird (which legalized birth control for single people in 1972) went into the ruling in Roe vs. Wade, which went into the ruling for Lawrence vs. Texas. Roe is a time for celebration for all people who want the state to quit intruding on their personal lives, especially when it comes to sexuality and sexual health. These causes should not be separated and should be fought in solidarity with each other.
