Francine is an indie rock band from Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

History

[edit]

Francine was founded by Clayton Scoble, who previously performed with Til Tuesday and Aimee Mann, and was a member of Poundcake and Colortone. He assembled the group towards the end of 1997 and soon after self-released a few solo demo tapes.[1] The newly-formed band then released an EP and a full-length album on the Massachusetts indie label Q Division Records. A second album followed in 2003. The group received positive reviews,[2] but did not tour nationally behind the album.[1] In 2006, the group released a third album, entitled Airshow.[3]

The Francine song, "Albany Brownout", was used by Fox network's series The O.C. in January, on episode 3.11, "The Safe Harbor".[citation needed]

Francine has appeared on various tribute recordings, including one to Kim Deal and one to the dBs.[citation needed]
