Francine

LA Music Awards 1999

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

History
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. 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 but did not tour nationally behind the album. In 2006, the group released a third album, entitled Airshow.

The Francine song, “Albany Brownout”, was used by Fox network’s series The O.C. in January, on episode 3.11, “The Safe Harbor”.

Francine is currently[when?] working on an as-yet-untitled fourth album.

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