BEFORE we get going, we want to wish all of you a happy holiday season and a fantastic new year! We're endlessly grateful for all of you -- just for being here & staying in touch. We can't wait to get out and see folks as we 'make the rounds' over the next few months.


THROWING MUSES will play a show this Saturday, December 16 at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco . 50 Foot Wave will be the first of three bands that evening. The Moore Bothers are the band in the middle -- and what a great way to take a breather between sets!

MISSISSIPPI CANDLELIGHT is the title of the new, live CD we're offering in the Throwing Music Online Store. It's a great recording of an intimate, candle-lit, un-amplified set Kristin played back in July at Mississippi Studios in Portland , OR . Kristin decided to focus on songs from "The Grotto" that evening -- and it made for a very special set. Lots of smiles, some tears and a set of great, acoustic performances. Like having Kristin come over and play in your living room!


I DON’T WANT ANYTHING FOR CHRISTMAS is a benefit mp3 single we’re offering as a download in the Online Store for a limited time only. Various Portland artists, including Kristin, lend their vocal talents to this song, proceeds of which go to the Henderson House for battered women. The single is $5, and your money goes to a great cause.


YEP ROC is now offering people the opportunity to pre-order "Learn to Sing Like a Star"! Folks who pre-order will gain access to 3 non-album tracks as mp3 downloads. There's a nifty preview of "In Shock" - the first track from "LTSLAS" - you can find that here!


PRODUCTION has begun on the video for "In Shock". Orrin Anderson is directing -- and it looks like it'll be beautiful. Stay tuned for that!


Lots more to come in January, including the London preview show, a big US promo tour and of course, the new release...Hope to see you sooooon!


Love,

Your Friends at Throwing Music
