Tess & The Details Take On Flashdance Anthem “Maniac” On Upcoming Single

San Francisco’s Tess & The Details are gearing up for their most ambitious year yet. They’ve teamed up with Wiretap Records for a cover of Michael Sembello‘s anthem from Flashdance, Maniac, which will be followed by fresh original music and an aggressive touring schedule. The single will be released on the 7th March and will be accompanied by a nostalgic, over the top music video directed by Devin Zamora (Like Roses). Tess & The Details will also be appearing on the opening day of Berkeley, CA’s Doll Fest on the 1st March alongside the likes of Tsunami Bomb, The Darts and The Dollheads.

“We were loading out at an obscure little venue in Crockett, California called Toot’s Tavern, and over the speakers while we were lugging our Marshall’s out the door we heard the song and we all started dancing. It was the energy and dark catchiness of the song that made us all go…wait…,”Should we cover this?” almost as a joke…then that joke turned into us coming up with a Details-ified version of the song that we have played at almost every show since. Crowds liked it so much that we ended up teaming up with our longtime producer & mixing engineer Jacob Light to record it at ModernTone Studios in Lafayette, California.” (vocalist & guitarist Tess Stevens)
