About this concert
Throwing Muses are one of the greatest (USA) college bands of the 1990s.
Formed by Kristin Hersh with high school friends. The band, currently consisting of Kristin Hersh, David Narcizo and Bernard Georges, pioneered a new alternative sound, releasing a string of critically celebrated albums and touring the world.
Their new album ‘Moonlight Concessions’ has been described by Pitchfork Magazine as: “A stunning return to form”.
‘Moonlight Concessions’ goes back to basics, a return for Throwing Muses to their esoteric off-kilter best courtesy of Kristin’s pin-sharp sketches and their suitably abrasive musical arrangements. The album follows their acclaimed ‘Sun Racket’ from 2020, a heady set filled with tough and tender tales spiked with surreal imagery.
Throwing Muses have not toured Australia since 2009, and this time they come armed with an incredible new album, these will be some very exciting shows you will not want to miss!

I think this was my first visit to the Electric Ballroom and was quite impressed by the venue. As for the band, even though it was my fourth time seeing them i was still a bit concerned about how the new material was going to play live. Shouldn't have worried, as Throwing Muses delivered a high energy gig and hit some decent deep cuts from the likes of Real Ramona and House Tornado along the way, then brought the house down with an encore of Shark and Bright Yellow Gun.

Throwing Muses Biography
Throwing Muses is a post-punk 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. Originally fronted by two distinctive lead singers, Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly, stepsisters 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. Hallucinatory, febrile songs by Hersh occasionally touched on the subject of mental illness, more often drawing portraits of characters from daily life or addressing relationships.
Donelly left the band in 1991 and was a member of The Breeders and Belly, before starting to perform solo. She also contributed vocals to the Throwing Muses self-titled album in 2003. Hersh has also worked solo, and currently fronts the power trio 50 Foot Wave (which also includes Muses bassist Bernard Georges). Narcizo works in graphic design and has a musical project Lakuna.
