#throwing-muses — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

You know how sometimes you love a band so much that you build it up in your head when you're gonna get to see them until they couldn't possibly live up to your expectations and then they do? And it's more than you hoped for and you're blissed out and just feel blessed to exist in this world where that can happen?

I fucking love #ThrowingMuses

For all that I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT COMPLAIN THIS WEEK (and you're all very patient with me and kind to me and I thank you), I have just remembered that I'm seeing my legit favorite band ever in Rhode Island on Friday and then in my very own neighborhood on Saturday, and that helps a lot. #ThrowingMuses

The first Throwing Muses SF show on over a dozen years (I got tickets with my latest set of recruits!) sold out quickly. They added a second date, which also sold out, so now they're adding a third. Yay!

Minneapolis also sold out and is getting an additional date.

@ChrisJagged

#ThrowingMuses never got, like, Grandma's-heard-of-them famous, but definitely tour-the-world famous. Your indie rock friend has definitely heard of them.

(The other two favorites are DEFINITELY obscure hidden gems and people generally have not heard of them.)

Heute Abend mal etwas #AlternativeRock von #TheBreeders mit #KimDeal #Pixies und #TanyaDonelly #ThrowingMuses (wobei ich nicht sicher bin ob sie bei dieser Platte noch dabei war). Ich mag dieses Album seit es erschienen ist und es ist auch sehr gut gealtert.

@mayintoronto

A friend from the #ThrowingMuses online fan community came and stayed with us when he came to the US to see them!

Not only did he not steal my kidneys, but I came home that day complaining about a class I was taking for work, and confusing nonsense about "the second eigenvalue of the inverse covariance matrix," and it turns out Alistair's day job was a statistician in a university geography dept and he explained it for me!

Self-Titled Summer | Throwing Muses (1986, US)

Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 771 on The List, submitted by @puffer. Here’s a quick rundown:

Point of origin(s): This group originated in 1981 as a Rhode Island high school band called “Kristin Hersh and the Muses”, with said Kristin Hersh and her half-sister Tanya Donelly both on vocals and guitars, plus bassist Elaine Adamedes and drummer Becca Blumen. David Narcizo then took over the drum kit (sans cymbals) when Blumen left, and, in 1984, the group self-released their debut EP under the name Throwing Muses. Adamedes then left and Leslie Langston joined. In 1985, the Muses released an untitled demo that led to them being the first American band signed to British label 4AD. Their (technically not self-titled but untitled) debut LP is the album we look at here, which features reworkings of 6 of the 10 demo tracks (and was produced by Gil Norton, who would later produce 3 of the 5 good [i.e., Kim Deal] Pixies albums, and at least a handful of other albums you probably know). All songs were written by Hersh except for “Green”, which was written by Donelly.
Tasting notes: Raw alt rock/post-punk, moments of Jello Biafra-/”Rock Lobster”-ish vocals, no-holds-barred debut
Standout track: “Call Me”, “Green”, “Hate My Way”, “Vicky’s Box”
Where are they now?: After 2 more EPs and 2 more studio albums, the Muses lineup started to change. First Langston left in 1990 and was replaced by Fred Abong, and then, after the release of their 4th studio album in 1991, Donelly and Abong left (Donelly had co-formed The Breeders with Kim Deal in 1989, and then left both bands at this time to start Belly, who Abong joined). Bernard Georges stepped in on bass, and the group continued as a trio for a few years/albums until 1997, when Hersh went to further pursue her solo work (her debut Hips and Makers, was released in 1994 between Muses albums). The group reformed around 2002 and have since put out another handful of albums. Their 11th studio album, Moonlight Concessions, was released just this March, and they have an Australia/New Zealand tour for it coming up in December.
Side note/Spoilers (seeing as we haven’t yet got to this band that’s also on The List): Throwing Muses is partially responsible for the Pixies, as Pixies were first noticed by Gary Smith – producer of Throwing Muses’ demo and later House Tornado (1988) and Hunkpapa (1989) – while playing as the opener for a Muses show (in 1986?). Smith produced the Pixies’ demo (recorded in 1987), and they were then also signed to 4AD because of the Muses connection. Smith then also produced Pixies’ debut, Come On Pilgrim (1987), and the band was the opener for the Muses’ (1988?) tour of House Tornado. The more you know…

Happy listening!

Yesterday I was in my ancient car listening to an ancient mix CD I had gotten maybe 15+ years ago in a new-to-you music swap on the long-defunct official #ThrowingMuses message board. I've long since lost the track list. I try to identify a song using Google, which a friend had been using the day before to ID background songs in a noisy bar. Google "listens" to my mystery song for about 10 seconds and then kind of shrugs like "idk. is that even music?"

Amazing gig from #ThrowingMuses in Cardiff last night. Highlights for me were the blistering 'Bea' and extremely menacing 'Limbo'. Also 'Drugstore Drastic', 'Counting Backwards', and 'Bright Yellow Gun' for the encore. Kristin Hersh is a Goddess.

#ThrowingMuses are coming to Sydney. Can't wait to see the most slept on band of the 90s.

Everyone was prodigiously talented. They started at 14! Tanya is a multi-act genius, and Kristin a savant. Stepsisters. They're still going and were in too many cool things to name
