Post-punk, alternative rock band Throwing Muses have announced rare UK shows this November, including London's O2 Shepherds Bush Empire.
Formed in 1980 by Kristin Hersh (pictured) and her half-sister Tanya Donnelly, Throwing Muses became the first American band to be signed to the 4AD label in 1986. The Rhode Island band toured and recorded extensively until 1997 and released their best-known album 'The Real Ramona' in 1991.
'The Real Ramona' spawned two minor hit singles, 'Counting Backwards' and 'Not Too Soon', however, shortly afterwards Tanya left to join The Breeders and then Belly, but Kristin continues the Muses with her new line-up.
Throwing Muses are currently mixing a new album for release sometime later this year.
