THROWING MUSES
throwingmuses.com
One of my favorite shows this year was seeing Kristin Hersh live at the Icehouse in Minneapolis. I'm happy to announce that Hersh is back with Throwing Muses and she's releasing the band's first new music in ten years called Purgatory/Paradise. Yes, their last self-titled album was released in 2003.
What is unique about this upcoming Purgatory/Paradise release is that it will be released as a book and CD … although it is probably not a surprise to Kristin Hersh fans, who is familiar with her Crooked book/CD combo and biography Rat Girl, etc.
Still, I find it cool because, like Hersh, I'm old still would prefer to hold and adore music in my hand, reading over the liner notes, admiring or trying to make sense of the artwork, and reading over the written words and lyrics… There's something magical about owning a physical representation of music - why do you think vinyl are so popular these days?
In addition to the art book, which was designed by drummer Dave Narcizo, the book comes downloadable content such as commentary, instrumentals, and the album plus art in multiple digital formats!
Look for Purgatory/Paradise on November 11th via Harper Collins/It Books (actual book release date is October 28th). Makes for a perfect gift for the Throwing Muses fan in your family.
Check out a track called "Sunray Venus" from Purgatory/Paradise on their website throwingmuses.com

EVE

Eve's first North American tour in TEN YEARS is happening now, in support of her Lip Lock album. You may remember that we mentioned the epic release earlier this summer.
Speaking of epic, Eve will be making a stop at Epic in Minneapolis over the Labor Day Weekend on September 1st (Sunday). We are covering her concert, so stay tuned for photos and a review.
We previously mentioned that she said how the new album was like starting over, like a brand new artist: "I'm not trying to relive any moments of my life, I'm in a new place in my life. I'm almost a new artist - 2013 is a year you will see more sides of me than ever before, this is just the start!"
Remember, the last time you saw Eve was 10 years ago, so if you missed her in the last decade, here's your second chance:

TENSNAKE

You know we love Astralwerks Records, so whenever they announce sign that they've signed an artist, we pay attention! Recently, Astralwerks said they've signed Tensnake. If you know your Germany DJ, that is the stagename for Marco Niemerski who gained international fame with his 2010 dancefloor smash-hit "Coma Cat."
I believe the first Astralwerks release will be called "58BPM" (featuring Fiora), which is the lead single from his forthcoming album See Right Through.
