At La Marberie, Paris, with @throwingmuses.bsky.social for the first time since the “Anthology” tour in 2011. This tour’s generous setlist is focused on the last 3 albums but with songs like ‘Bea’ or ‘Colder’ reminding how singular, daring and captivating Kristin’s songwriting’s always been.

Thanks to Scott Hamilton, who first sent the package of TM/KH clippings that he had been carefully treasuring for years to Sona Avakian, and to Sona’s priceless gesture to send them over, the Archives will be nurtured in the future with many things that aren’t in the net yet. Stay tuned!

"Good Honest Work - The Music in a Year with Kristin Hersh and Throwing Muses" was a projected documentary by Dan Weissman that, sadly, was never completed. This newsletter from 2000, unearthed by Scott Hamilton, described the film when it still seemed that it would be completed and premiered.
