After sifting through 8 sentences of notes Emma tossed in the in box one caught my eye. It was the words '50 FOOT WAVE'. So I went on a hunt through the vast informational pool that is the Worm hole of all things known to Earthlings and " Others ".
Much to my chi grin, guess what I found?
Kristin ( with an I ) Hersh. Guitarist and vocalist for 50 FOOT WAVE is also THE Kristin Hersh of my old friends from 'Throwing Muses'...yeah , back in the mid 80's I was a part of a huge musical community of experimental bands of which included "Throwing Muses".
How small a Planet that over 25 years ago I was enjoying the music of and performing along side someone that Plutoradio.com and Lee Crisman's 'Unsung' has been promoting for a while. Now here She remains.
Kristin is an amazing artist today. She still writes , performs, has written about her life difficulties and accomplishments. She is so natural in making art that she gives her music away to anyone who will listen plus she is 100 % Independent.
Kristin is one of a kind. Staying with her independence and not faltering her art for an entire career. Because of her vast influence on freedom of expression and incredible music Poolside Plano will flow ' through the Worm Hole ' with an entire hour of stuff Kristin Hersh....Your going to love this one it will include other amazing parts of the music like Tanya Donelly and other projects.
Eclecticism meets freedom of expression. If young artist like dZ could follow these footsteps the big red cloud flowing toward you neighborhood may not be so horrible.
