  • Throwing Muses live and interviewed, February 20th 1989, Recorded from analogue terrestrial broadcast, recorded on Sony DX E180 VHS tape, mono audio.
    Throwing Muses are an American alternative rock band formed in 1981 in Newport, Rhode Island, United States, that toured and recorded extensively until 1997, when its members began concentrating more on other projects.
    The group was originally fronted by two stepsisters, Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly, who both wrote the group's songs. Throwing Muses are known for performing music with shifting tempos, creative chord progressions, unorthodox song structures, and surreal lyrics. The group was set apart from other contemporary acts by Hersh's stark, candid writing style; Donelly's pop stylings and vocal harmonies; and David Narcizo's unusual drumming techniques eschewing use of cymbals. Hersh's hallucinatory, feverish lyrics occasionally touch on the subject of mental illness, more often drawing portraits of characters from daily life or addressing relationships.

    Back in 1988, I was in college radio and had a chance to meet them all after their show. Understandably Kristen was tired but I got to hang with the rest of band, we had a beer and walked around Milwaukee. They were super nice. No egos as far as I could tell. Genuinely good people. I wish they would have put out more music together but very thankful for what they gave us. ❤

    Great interview, thank you, but the performance of "Dizzy" is literally just the record. I don't know why the producers would do that. I'd bet anything it wasn't the band's decision. They're a great live band, let us hear that. Still, I could watch Hersh talk about anything anytime. When she laughs: ❤🥰😍

      Thanks for watching and commenting, I have no idea why the did not do the track live, perhaps lack of time to set up or the record company insisted, they were one of the few bands to mime on this show.

      It probably was filmed in full, but by a certain bootleg cameraman I used to know, all his video tapes are now with another RUclips channel, I suggest you drop him a message asking if he has that gig or others. Do let me know what he says. ruclips.net/user/TravisBickle1963about

      ​@@hirampriggott1689 I saw them back in the day at a long incredibly narrow venue called the Inn Square Men's Bar. Waiting for the show to start I had to elevate my broken & casted-foot and from my seat placing it on the stage was perfect. When they came on, it was right in front of Leslie and I asked her if it was a problem and she was like 'you're good.'

      It was different then, and you have to look at it through the prism of 1989. They were young and didn't really understand the toxicity of feminist thinking. I was also such a person. None of us knew about how it came to be, the inherent contradictions, how the founders of the movement conspired with big business and the state, how they sold ordinary working people out etc. They were wrestling with the brutality of their country and trying to do something new. Although I wince to hear it, I applaud their forging novel directions and thinking aloud in public.

      @@BlackPrimeMinister for sure it was different. The overriding culture was more Conservative, the flaws of progressivism were less well understood, and also, as you say, these women were very young. I was a tediously predictable bleeding heart until I was about 35. But it's striking that the notion of cultural appropriation was alive even back then, although it wasn't named.
