I am hoping that these years will be detailed in the forthcoming book, but I would love to learn more about the pre-4AD years, first live shows, missteps, best tracks, curious leaps forward. Any tidbits that haven&#39;t been amply covered on the internet (e.g. whether the original name was Kristin and the Muses or just The Muses)? </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/live-at-lime-1#post-2261 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 07:40:57 +0000 Alistair 2261@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Not yet tried to buy this yet, as I'm at work, but on the Lime homepage it says the store is only for US customers.</p> <p>Is there an 'official' way for the rest of the world to d/l?</p> <p>Oh, here's the KH link:<br /> <a href="http://www.store.limewire.com/store/app/pages/album/Album/productId/266141/" rel="nofollow">http://www.store.limewire.com/store/app/pages/album/Album/productId/266141/</a> </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/primavera-sound-review-in-the-wire#post-2148 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:32:59 +0000 visaforviolet 2148@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Cut n' paste for Muses-relevant content: "While Spiritualized's climactic freakout achieves the desired lift-off, it's dwarfed by the disciplinary savagery of Throwing Muses, who remain unique, inimitable and therefore entirely justified in their return to action. Kristin Hersh sings and plays with the swagger of a bluesman, her features contorting as she constructs a furiously aggressive folk rock galvanized by the sturdy yet flexible rhythmic undertow of drummer David Narcizo and bassist Bernard Georges. In terms of intensity and power, The Muses prove quite a match for Sunn O))), playing simultaneously on the ATP stage." —Joseph Stannard </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/kristin-revisited-after-fifteen-years#post-1758 Sat, 25 Apr 2009 12:07:03 +0000 The Necromancer 1758@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>I had left my beloved London in 1993 and - following a particularly unhappy relationship breakdown with my long-time girlfriend and soul mate, Maureen - I was flitting from bed-sit to hotel room for around six months, I eventually settled in at a lovely flat - the first place I could really call home. At last, I could spend nights settling down listening to music or just watching telly. </p> <p>It was on one such evening that I first came across Kristin Hersch - in late 1993 / early 1994. I was entranced by her appearance on British TV show, The Southbank Show, hosted by Melvyn Bragg. In truth, Kristin's look, voice, manner and general demeanour eerily reminded me of my recently ex-girlfriend, Maureen Anne Potter, with whom - despite the unpleasant breakup - I was still besotted, in love with and whom I couldn't get out of my system. I played the video recording of Kristin's performance over and over again.</p> <p>I went out and ordered Kristin’s debut Hips &#38; Makers album - it too was played over and over and over again. Kristen, her lyrics and sound were pretty unique at the time - more so from a female artist.</p> <p>I then discovered that Kristin had a UK tour planned. I was pleased to find that she had included an evening at Parr Hall in Warrington - not far from where I was living. So I dashed out and got my ticket from the box office - this was in the days before online bookings.</p> <p>Sound recording is one of my hobbies; no, make that passions; in fact make that obsession. I record people, animals, industrial noises - even just ambient background noises and sounds. And, since 1979 I'd had a penchant for bootleg recordings of concerts - it all started with Rush's Tour of The Hemisphere's at Liverpool's Empire Theatre and some rather large and cumbersome recording equipment which I always managed to get into the venues without challenge. It would not be possible to do it nowadays without being shot or roughed up by the overzealous British Thug-force (Police). I never sold the recordings – they were always just a personal memento, but one in which I took pride and dedication in capturing.</p> <p>By the time Kristen was touring I had a rather compact and very advanced Sony WMD6Pro recording deck with suitable high quality microphones. It picked up every cough and wheeze during the evening’s performance in a packed Parr Hall; as did Kristin - she was concerned at all the coughing and politely asked if we were alright? We were; and all the better for an excellent gig.</p> <p>Years passed and I moved on and I (eventually) convinced myself that I'd got 'that girl' out of my system. Until last night. I had been doing some spring cleaning and in a drawer I found the master tape of the Parr Hall concert from some fifteen years ago. It has stirred memories. So I found myself at this website and my mind curiously wandering elsewhere. Was I looking for Kristin, or perhaps someone else…….. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/muses-sets-new-songs#post-1529 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 21:02:34 +0000 micahnewman 1529@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Hey all,</p> <p>it's been a LONG time since I posted in these forums. Like, maybe eight years. I remember when the old throwingmusic.com forum first came online, I think in 1997 right about when Limbo came out.</p> <p>ANYway, I'd love to know what all the Muses have been playing on their recent dates. Setlists? (In no exact order is fine too!) Of course, I'll be getting a firsthand dose come Saturday at the Middle East! Yes!!</p> <p>Specifically, any new songs being introduced? There still is a new Muses album in the works, right? </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/throwing-muses-may-uk#post-497 Sun, 16 Nov 2008 14:35:42 +0000 Altfish 497@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Just wondering if there are any plans to add some more UK dates when you are across the pond for the ATP gig.<br /> Due to other committments it is not looking good for me getting to the ATP event; so it would be nice if there were a few other gigs. </p>
