"Weight" is the first single from the self-titled debut album by Hilken Mancini Band which releases October 25th via Girlsville.
Hilken Mancini co-fronted Fuzzy, a 90's indie rock band from Boston that got snapped up by Atlantic Records during the Alternative Nation frenzy at the majors. RollingStone cited their single "Flashlight" as one of the 50 best songs of the 90's.
Fuzzy was fronted by two women, singer/guitarists Hilken Mancini and Chris Toppin, Winston Braman on bass, and a Lemonhead (David Ryan) was their drummer. 90’s Boston was lousy with poppy alt rock: The Pixies, Juliana Hatfield, Belly, Lemonheads, Letters To Cleo, and then this band Fuzzy who didn’t really get the buzzbin hit those other bands had. A lot of bands slipped through the cracks. A couple months ago I got a message from Hilken - she’s all “do you remember me from Fuzzy and The Monsieurs? I have this 10 song album." She was humbly describing an incredible album she’d made with Hilken Mancini Band. Hilken Mancini Band is very much Fuzzy adjacent, but new and better. I think it’s her best work yet - but will scratch that itch for Fuzzy fans as well. Long story short, Girlsville is excited to be releasing the debut 12” LP for Hilken Mancini Band. Hilken Mancini (Fuzzy) is on guitar/vocals, Winston Braman (Fuzzy/Thalia Zedek/Consonant) is on Bass and Luther Grey (Tsunami) is on Drums and Melissa Gibbs (Heavy Stud/Gymnasium) on vocals and guitar. J Mascis is on the album, Thalia Zedek/Chris Brokaw (Come), and Chris Colbourn/Tom Maginnis (Buffalo Tom). |
