Nina Diaz, the lead singer (and youngest member by eight years) of the esteemed Girl in a Coma, is stretching her wings and flying off for a quick solo tour, stopping by Alex's Bar this week. An eclectic mini-Bjork one moment, a howling '90s alt-rock goddess the next, Diaz is capable of dominating the stage with every atom of her petite self. A prime example of one person sounding like four, her solo shows are something to marvel at—just a girl and a guitar amid a swirling cloud of voice loops, beats, and digital accompaniments. Come see Diaz tonight with an opening set from fellow solo project Rudy De Anda, a perfectly twangy garage trio fronted by the singer of Long Beach's Wild Pack of Canaries.
