Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Throwing Muses/50 Foot Wave “Double Bill” at the Middle East

By Abby at 8:13 am on Friday, June 16, 2006

 

I am insane for Kristin Hersh in all her incarnations, and so I was over the moon when I got this message in my Inbox from Throwing Music:

Friday, August 11, 2006
THROWING MUSES
Boston
, MA
The Middle East
w/ special guest 50FOOTWAVE
$20 / 18+

A limited number of Virtuous tickets (low fees! helping communities! great company!) have been reserved for TMO peeps and will be available at Virtuous from Friday, June 16 and normal, boring, more expensive tickets from ‘that other company" are at The Middle East.

For those who don’t know, Kristin began with Throwing Muses, then later launched a solo career. In the years since, she has gone back to performing the old Muses catalog (sans half-sister Tanya Donnelly); and in VERY recent history, fronts 50 Foot Wave, her latest and perhaps hardest sound yet. I am always expecting the latest Kristin won’t be as good as the last. I’m never expecting to be impressed even MORE by this woman, but it keeps happening, again and again and again. And to have a double bill of her performing songs from TM and 50FW…

Heaven. I’m in heaven!

I’ve bought two tickets. One for me, and one for the person who convinces me that they are most worthy of the second ticket! Don’t think because you’re my "boyfriend," "boy toy," or best friend that you will have dibs. This ticket is SACRED and will be reserved for the most worthy. 😛

Now that I have my tickets, I decided it was OK to publish the Virtous link. Buy tickets now, while they’re affordable. See you there? 

Glad I set my alarm to go off and remind me to buy tickets, because the Virtuous tickets are GONE!

I still get Kristin Hersh confused with Beth Orton, which would probably take me right out of contention, were I to live in Boston, MA.

I have to say I’ve been consistently less impressed with every studio project Hersh has done since, say, Sky Motel. But I have to give her credit for sticking to it – besides, every show I’ve seen her perform has been great…. are they going to do another Muses reunion, I wonder?

But have you heard 50 Foot Wave? I agree there have been some lapses. Maybe I was over the top with my praise, but I think that 50 Foot Wave was so great that I forgot about any weak spots. You know how it is…

This sounds like a most excellent show; I’m expecting the competition for the ticket to be fierce… May the best Kris win 😉

Who says it’s going to be a Kris. The field is WIDE open!
