latest from kh/throwing muses

We're announcing Kristin's last solo-acoustic shows of the year -- and probably the last before the April 2007 tour for her recently completed new record, "Learn to Sing Like a Star", due out late January 2007. So if you're craving a KH solo show, take notice of these dates and the few more to come over the next week or so.

These evenings will feature Kristin performing solo-acoustic versions and talking about Throwing Muses' influential 1986 debut release -- marking it's 20th anniversary this month(!)

She'll also preview songs from the new record as well as tracks from the soon to be completed "Murder, Misery & Then Goodnight; Volume 2" -- the follow-up to her highly regarded 1999 collection of Appalachian folk songs.

David Bazan of Pedro the Lion is opening the Seattle show.

So far, we have these shows confirmed;

October 3 - Seattle , WA - The Triple Door (tickets at Virtuous.com & TheTripleDoor.net)
October 6 - Portland , OR - Mississippi Studios (tickets at Virtuous.com)
October 13 - Los Angeles , CA - El Cid (tickets at Virtuous.com)
October 27 - San Francisco , CA - Swedish American Hall -- above Cafe du Nord - (tickets at Virtuous.com & CafeDuNord.com)

We also wanted to formally announce (it's been on the message board for a couple of weeks now) the availability of the first, totally ThrowingMusic-generated bootleg recording. It's a nice quality recording of Throwing Muses' show in Cambridge, MA recorded on August 11, 2006 is now available in the online store!

Note that these are audio CD-Rs and play on any device that plays conventional CDs but they are not manufactured CDs. More details in the Online Store.
