Francine is an indie rock band from Boston, Massachusetts.

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 toward 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 on Massachusetts indie label Q Division Records. A second album followed in 2003. The group received positive reviews[2][3][4][5][6] but did not tour nationally behind the album.[1] In 2006, the group returned with a third full-length, entitled Airshow.[7][8] The Francine song "Albany Brownout" was featured on Fox network's series The O.C. in January, on Episode 3.11, "The Safe Harbor."

Francine is currently working on an as-yet-untitled fourth album.

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