Thanks to Joan Jett and her Blackheart Records label, the San Antonio rock act Girl in a Coma is out on a national tour. The all-female group is not only inspired by the Smiths (its sound and its name), it has opened for Morrissey. Girl in a Coma's sound may remind you of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs mixed with Radiohead, if Radiohead was fronted by a woman. You
can see the band tonight at T.T.'s with Plastic Reverie and the Kin. 9:15 p.m. $9. T.T. the Bear's Place, 10 Brookline St., Cambridge, 617-492-2327. ttthebears.com
