Throwing Muses - Vicki's Box (live, june 1989) 

Especially if you remember that it was the Muses who recommanded the Pixies to Ivo. The Throwing Muses was the first US band ever to be signed on 4AD.

Leslie's bass line is actually AMAZING !

One of the sickest songs she wrote

Amen! Leslie was one smokin bassist.

Holy crap, this is amazing. It's like a dream come true.

History is kinder to them than the pixers. Girl is in a trance. I again want everyone to read her book.

Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, as it did all those years ago.

Dave Narcizo is like "Cymbals?! I don't need no STINKING cymbals!"

Miss Hersh's Yoko ululations on 'break bread and clean up' never fail to move me. :)

And one of the best.

Love it. I was there!!! Best TM gig I saw, and I saw them 3-4 times. I missed the Pixies, who I think were on before them.

Awesome video....until that guy went away from Kristin's face at WELCOME HOOOOOOOME!!! Oh well, thanks for putting this up!

Some people are just ignorant. I'll always do my best to be respectful to any 'support' act... and if it's Throwing Muses, well I'd probably have preferred them to the Pixies!

@zararity - I remember one of the first concert reviews I wrote, which it took place in a small auditorium. These women in front of me talked loudly through the opening act, a solo performer. I leaned over and said: 'You know, if you walk ten feet behind you, you can stand in the lobby and talk there, if it's boring to you. Some of us are trying to enjoy the show, and this place is too small for such loud conversation. Have a little consideration for others.'

i saw the pixies open for the muses at the paradice ..i think it was a long time ago..rich gilberet was in the audience ..human sexual responce

Reminds me of old Tracks days. lol

@jmm122 - I was at that show at the Paradise! I preferred Throwing Muses over the Pixies back then. They sounded like nothing else around.

Tanya looks like she could have been a fill-in at West Beverly high or Donna's friend in 90210

That pushed Leslie to come to rescue, lol.

@Timmybear I can't 'thumbs up' this enough! It really, really gets on my nerves, not to mention how disheartening and annoying it must be for performers. Personally if I'm really not interested in a support act I will usually spend the time at the bar, at the back, wherever, I know what it's like to be on stage and have a bunch of people talking through your set...

Really annoying! GRR!
