Throwing Muses - A band from RI
A little lunch time music for all of you. Throwing Muses is a band from the City by the Sea (that is Newport for those not in the know) that was probably a little before its time. True story, I replaced David Narcizo as the dishwasher at a french pastry shop downtown when he was heading across the pond to tour and record. I think this was is the 1986-87 time frame so they would have been supporting the first, self titled album (or cassette as the case may be in those days) and recording House Tornado. At that age, I really did not get that whole scene to be honest, but as time went on, I really liked them a lot. (Tanya went on to form Belly, who we will cover in a future post).
Anyway, here are a few selections while you much on your 5 dollar footlong at your desk.
Not Too Soon - probably more of a Belly tune really, but good "pop" for its day.
Shimmer (LIVE) - Post Tanya, this is where Kristen really started to shine (IMO)
Counting Backwards (LIVE) - This is the tune I think most people associate with them
Hate My Way (Live at the Rocket in Providence.. which begat Babyhead) As an aside, look at that calendar for that club at that time. Unbelievable.
See you tomorrow (hopefully, going to Boston for the day) with another RI original.
