MANCIE gets ink on Examiner.com

Yesterday I opened a “Google Alert” and what did I see? MANCIE on Examiner.com.

Here’s what David Grant wrote:

Mancie is an all-female dirty garage band from Brooklyn. Led by Andrea Montgomery, they have played all over the city, including Webster Hall and Knitting Factory.

Mancie plays their rock and roll stripped down, almost raw. On each song the guitars take the lead, often building to a climactic chorus. Watching on YouTube, my initial reaction is to compare to early music by The Runaways; however, the more I listen the more I hear a heavy blues influence. On stage, Mancie looks very comfortable, able to play corner pubs or rock venues with little change.

In 2012 they released their second EP that featured the single, “Hey Brooklyn.” They also created a video, showing off their version of Brooklyn and a lot of the iconic Williamsburg neighborhood. The video is a walk through the streets, following Montgomery from corner to corner.

Essential songs to check out: “Only the Wanted”, “When the Lights are Out”, “I Just Want to Make Love to You”, and “Hey Brooklyn”

Check out Mancie this Friday, November 22 at Arlene’s Grocery where they are playing as part of the Electric Black Horse Cheap Party Favors album release party.
