 Formed 7 years ago when singer/songwriter Clayton Scoble passed some home demos around to his friends, the indie pop outfit – consisting of Scoble (vocals/guitar), Albert Gualtieri (guitar), Paul Simonoff (keyboards), Sean Connelly (bass), and Steve Scully (drums) – admits to some decidedly un-rock-star-like behavior.
"We're excited just to play music that we like," says drummer Steve Scully. "If there's an audience for what we do, we're psyched. If not, we'll still go down to our rehearsal space twice a week and play together. It's just like bowling night,” quips Scoble.
A master of understatement, Scoble has been hailed by The Boston Globe as "one of this city’s most imaginative songwriters," and Francine’s songs compared to "pieces of a jigsaw puzzle whose picture materializes incrementally."
Francine’s prior releases, 40 On A Fall Day, and 28 Plastic Blue Versions Of Endings Without You, have won them fans in high places. Their songs have recently been featured in programming on VH1, MTV, and ABC Family, and are enjoying strong satellite radio support on XM Radio’s “XMU” channel. A track from their previous release, "Albany Brownout," was featured in an episode of the Fox network’s hit show, The O.C.
