Go read the newest Tour Diary from Kristin Hersh et als...We have four days to make Minneapolis. An easy schedule to keep with Super Billy at the wheel unless, of course, the universe tilts on its axis and everything goes all haywire and the Family Bus blows up. Which it does....
If you aren't into this lady's music, maybe you should be. I've been a fan since ..well Throwing Muses - Throwing Muses. But what is really entertaining is reading her tour diaries. Imagine a fairly well established (80's-00's+) indie rocker, add children, dogs, spouse, and band etc.. put them in a bus and tell about it. Ok it sounds kind of played. But the writing is really interesting. One ti...
Before hearing Kristin Hersh's solo album, Sunny Border Blue, any one of us could have been a different person. It was at a crowded Ann Arbor Borders appearance in early 2002 that I was first exposed to the dreamlike, sharp yet balanced solo work of this amazing artist. My friend Becca had traveled in from Ohio to see Kristin perform. It was months before I fully understood how nervous and s...
KRISTIN HERSH – LEARN TO SING LIKE A STAR (2007)There’s a sense of comfort in knowing that even after a four year gap, one can pick up Kristin Hersh’s latest CD, put it in the player and there’s a warm continuation, like she’s never been away. The voice is a little more beat up than usual, there’s none of the ranting and wailing of her Throwing Muses days, but the glistening intensity
"Kristin Hersh":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristin_Hersh played an acoustic solo set, Thursday at Easy Street Records on Mercer in Seattle, which included a few songs from her new release and great versions of couple of favorites of mine, from early solo albums, Ghost and Your Dirty Answer.Easy St. Records, Seattle, Feb. 22, 2007 (posted by +this.nik+, more with other "KH photos on flikr":htt...
2007 has been a great year for music so far, with a lot of expected greatness and a few surprises (at least for me). First of all, I'm pretty sure that Of Montreal's new one is going to be my party album for quite some time. Start to finish, it's perfect for getting ready, drinking up a storm, playing Circle of Death, dancing madly for no reason...everything a Saturday night entails, really. It...
Learn to Sing Like a Star is, without doubt, a Kristin Hersh record that's not entirely divorced from a Throwing Muses record (she has announced that the Muses aren't a dead concern), while also touching on 2001's Sunny Border Blue and her last solo offering, The Grotto, released in 2003. Her first solo offering in nearly four years, Learn to Sing Like a Star is nigh on worthy of rejoicing over...
I *NEED* to listen to more women ...Why do I listen to far more male artists/bands/lead vocals than women ??? I could say, & do think part of it is the fact that it seems there are more men in the spotlight than women. We had Lita Ford as one of the token _female_ hair bands, Pat Benatar (GODDESS), Blondie, Madonna, Cindi Lauper (way underappreciated), Tori Amos, Babes in Toyland ... But for ...

This project has been undertaken by one of the great minds of modern rock, Kristin Hersh, as well as artists Xiu Xiu and Donita Sparks.Here is CASH Music's mission statement, from their website:We Love Music.We are a Coalition of Ar...
