Biography

Boston, United States (1982 – 1988)

After The break up of The Young Snakes, ’Til Tuesday,an American new wave band, was formed in Boston in 1982. Its original lineup was bassist/vocalist Aimee Mann, guitarist/vocalist Robert Holmes, keyboardist Joey Pesce, and drummer Michael Hausman.

The group first gained fame six months after its formation when it won radio station WBCN’s battle of the bands competition in 1983. Their original composition “Love In A Vacuum” (credited to all members of the group) received a fair amount of airplay on the station, and the group was eventually signed to Epic Records.

“Love In A Vacuum” was re-recorded for the Epic debut album, 1985’s Voices Carry; however the breakthrough song turned out to be the title track. The “Voices Carry” single peaked at US #8, and is said to have been inspired by an argument between Mann and Hausman, who had broken off a relationship before the album’s release.

The band became an early MTV staple with the “Voices Carry” video, which depicts an oppressive boyfriend trying to convert Mann to his upper-class lifestyle; she finally lashes out at him during a concert at Carnegie Hall, standing up from her seat in the audience and belting the lyrics, “He said, shut up! He said, shut up! Oh God, can’t you keep it down?…” as she removes her cap to reveal her signature spiky, rat-tailed hair. As a result, the group won that year’s MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist.

By the 1986 follow-up Welcome Home, Mann was beginning to write more of the songs herself and the band was moving away from the slick New Wave sound of their debut.

    One of my favorite albums of the late 80's. Aimee Mann is incredible. The song she did for the movie American Beauty is incredible. Can't remember the name tho...anyone?

    It's amazing but I just recently started listening to 'til Tuesday. I always loved "Voices Carry" but never dove into the band beyond that song. 'til Tuesday was a very solid and gifted band. I have many of Aimee's solo music and she is a great song writer, but with the band they add the punch to her voice.

    This album was responsible for opening up a whole new world of music for me when it first came out, of which I've been on a music journey ever since. I can't express the sentiment I have for it. It was like finally realizing that music was more then just something to have on, it actually had feeling and meaning. Guess I was just listening to junk music before that :)
