Avery Mandeville of Little Hag

Interview with Avery Mandeville of Little Hag.   This was a great conversation , but due to file corruption the audio isn't 100% . Don't let that steer you away because this was a very inspiring conversation!!     Little Hag, the artist formerly known as Avery Mandeville, was conceived in a New Jersey basement and born again in quarantine. Under the Mandeville mantle she released a number of EPs and put many miles on other people’s vans touring the US. What started as a sarcastic Instagram handle (@littlehag) slowly became serious and somehow a small, vulgar crone took over all of Avery’s social media accounts. Signed by Bar/None Records just as everything was shutting down, Little Hag emerged with “Tetris”, a 2:17​ slice of pure pop pugnaciousness with a bummer end of summer vibe. “Tetris” was written in the dog days of quarantine, where you still can’t legally kiss anybody but at least you can get a sunburn. The truth is blistering, as she whimpers: “Everyone wants to fuck me / No one wants to see me cry”. The song is as confident as it is pathetic, a glimpse at a sane and totally chill person who lives to be tormented by things they can’t change. Following this release is a compilation of older tracks titled “Whatever Happened to Avery Jane?” The album chronicles Mandeville’s many pleasures and pains, from insulting your ex to calling out your abuser. She’s a songwriter with a penchant for brutal honesty, imagery, profanity, and the taboo. Many old men have said "I don't get it". In her previous incarnation she was named one of 8 New Jersey musicians you need to know by the Asbury Park Press and the #5 Best album of 2018 by NJ.com. Passion of the Weiss calls Little Hag “…a thrilling songwriter, untethered from time and place, sending DMs and shade, not greetings, from Asbury Park.” Little Hag is Avery on guitar and complaining, Matt Fernicola on guitar, Owen Flanagan on drums, Chris Dubrow on bass, and Noah Rauchwerk on keys and emotional support.   Avery's Info ! https://www.littlehag.com/​ http://www.bar-none.com/little-hag​ https://www.instagram.com/littlehag/?...​ https://littlehag.bandcamp.com​ https://www.facebook.com/littlehagmusic​
