Ménage à Twang is an all-female music band from Brooklyn, New York who have been described as a humorous "lady country trio."[1] The New York Daily News profiled the band in early 2010, interviewing the members and detailing their songs, which are about aspects of New York City life not usually covered.[2]

The band was originally composed of singer / songwriter Emily Moore, a poet and English teacher at Stuyvesant High School, singer / songwriter / guitarist Jessica Del Vecchio, a feminist scholar and theater professor at Hunter College, and singer / songwriter / arranger / guitarist Rachel Levy, who works in TV and left the band in April 2012.[3][4] [5] Elizabeth Whitney joined the group in early 2013. One of the group members attended Yale and two of the three members attended Princeton.[6] They have released one album,[7] which includes the song "Dan Smith Will Teach Me Guitar." They have also released a video for the song "Listen Sister, Don't Date A Hipster," which also appears on their debut album.[8][9][10]

First album

They have a self-titled first album.
