Hilken Mancini Band Hilken Mancini Band

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. 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." Features guest appearances from J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., Thalia Zedek & Chris Brokwaw of Come, and Chris Colbourn and Tom Maginnis of Buffalo Tom.
