Throwing Muses, Live, Germany, Bizarre festival 1991

[@GoD_Quake]

We definitely didn’t get enough of Throwing Muses. The world needs more of this.

[@ScottWDoyle]

Love that there's a drummer cam so we can see the great Dave Narcizo at work!

[@sonaavak2953]

Narcizo is a beast.

[@WHJeffB]

@@sonaavak2953 It's interesting/unusual that he uses the traditional grip for his drumming. Stewart Copeland influence? Or just his high school band drumming experience stuck with him?

[@Brokenface]

@@WHJeffB i think the second

[@chuckmorton8823]

he's truly one of the greats ... a really unique drumming style

[@chuckschillingvideos]

@@WHJeffB The latter. He was in his high school marching band and never abandoned the technique. Works for some, not for all. He's also well known for his very spare use of cymbals, which is fairly unique among rock drummers.

thank you

[@matthewwilliams2412]

Thank you so much for posting this! I Was working at a college radio station station 1989 where I first heard Devil’s Roof, and Leslie Langston‘s base playing on that song made me a lifelong fan of this band. Of course, I love Kristen and Leslie and Dave as well. I never got a chance to see them with that lineup, but sometime in early 1991 or 1992 I caught Belly (with Leslie sitting in on bass!) at a bar called Bogie’s Taproom in Albany, NY. There were only like five people at that show, and they still played great show.

[@matthewmoran3041]

Wow. Just wow. Thanks for sharing this. Such a tight performance. Drummer on fire. Mania as unbelievably fast as on the recording. Technically superb. Artistically stunning.

[@gregorycarnes3521]

Thanks for posting. I saw them on the Hunkpapa tour in New Orleans opening for New Order. Strange bill. All my friends were there for NO but i went for Throwing Muses. I bought House Tornado blind not knowing a thing about them. They instantly became my favrite band of the moment. A great band that doesn't get the recognition they deserve.

[@okurcute]

house tornado is so incredible

[@chuckschillingvideos]

That's an odd pairing other than both being "college radio" darlings of the time. After Ian Curtis' death, the remainder of Joy Division took a hard course toward EM and really didn't carry much, if anything, forward. They were, essentially, a completely new and different band.

[@KenRubenstein]

thanks so much for this... what a great and innovative band they were...

[@peterottes6900]

I miss the Boston music scene so much.. Boston had an amazing music scene in the '90s. This band was right up there with them all. Just doesn't seem as vibrant as it once was. Thanks for bringing this amazing band back around..

[@Indypendientes]

totally agree Peter. Thanks for your post.

[@chuckmorton8823]

Pixies

[@ErikGronnestad]

Thank you! This is gold

[@ninetiesmilk]

Thank you so much for sharing this show. The Muses at their peak! ♥️

[@scottsherwood966]

The REAL Ramona may be my favorite all time album. Of course a lot of things factor into these feelings. But love this show.

[@chuckschillingvideos]

I'm not gonna disagree - BUT - at the same time, none of them seeing to be enjoying this performance. Tanya is already halfway out the door by this point and the band doesn't look like happy campers to me.

[@Pettaklumpen]

Kristin is the Queen!

[@WHJeffB]

Both she and Tonya are immensely talented...

[@Polyfusia]

One of the great guitar bands

[@chuckmorton8823]

truth

[@WHJeffB]

They sound great! If I could go back in time (different years of course), I'd want to catch shows for the Muses, Belly and Letters to Cleo at the height of their game. Wish I could have caught the Muses in their early shows in Newport, if not Boston.

[@splash733]

Saw them in Atlanta on this tour. If I recall it was the last tour with KH & TD together (until they reunited much later). So, the end of an era, of sorts.

[@WHJeffB]

Sadly, they didn't last long together, at least the first time around. Creative differences? Or perhaps TD wanted to realize her full potential and the only way to do that was separately from KH. But they were so good together with the rest of TM.

[@Liquid_Alchemy]

I especially loved hearing Ellen West. They crushed it.

[@PeterRiesinCO]

Fantastic to watch, Thank you.

[@sonicgrub]

Wow! This is fantastic.

[@sabaidaniel555]

Loved that!!!

[@susantidad1038]

Hi kristin! We love you

[@tonyrobles2696]

Great band guys💓🌺🌹❤️

[@chuckmorton8823]

Just wish they would have finished with Two Step

[@sonoaless6309]

OMG Thank you so much

[@tednorberto3086]

The sound.

[@steffenmoller7516]

is bad?

[@astraluna6is9]

Great compositions. Legendary as one of the most outstanding Indy Alternative project bands that ushered in Quirk Rock. A genre that was so badly needed at the time, from so much neghead vomit music. A straight up delivery with sophisticated execution. So wonderful and way under appreciated. We knew different.

[@doitnowvideosyeah5841]

Neghead vomit music. Perfect description of much nu metal

[@gabriele.1105]

Not Too Soon 11:30

[@chuckmorton8823]

Love that song!

[@matteframe]

I dunno. The bizarre festival 1991 I went to was in Giessen, and TM weren't there. Pretty sure the title is incorrect here.

[@3rdmm]

You're right to be skeptical. This can only be 1990. Tanya and Fred left the band in early 1991.

[@puacino2]

Fantastiche!

[@jackaction23]

from 14:00-14:30 makes me die

[@voidmother9187]

I want the nineties back 😕

[@tree0429]

A golden era

[@drumgold23]

The best.

[@APcaveman]

Tanya Donelley 😍

[@Brokenface]

What an Amazing band

[@johnarrigo-nelson9667]

Well, aus Newport, RI, but ja

[@AzimuthTao]

Kind of a shame that Tonya couldn't pull off "Not Too Soon".

[@ccgrey8731]

It's a strange song vocally and not very easy to carry off live in the same way that Tanya sings it on The Real Ramona. Tanya has become a stronger vocalist with the years but back then she didn't have a lot of control with her voice. I think she was impressive with her guitar playing though in this era.
