THROWING MUSES
Throwing Muses released their new album ‘Moonlight Concessions’ in 2025 via Fire Records. The album follows their acclaimed ‘Sun Racket’ from 2020, a heady set filled with tough and tender tales spiked with surreal imagery. ‘Moonlight Concessions’ goes back to basics, a return for Throwing Muses to their esoteric off-kilter best courtesy of Kristin Hersh’s pin-sharp sketches and their suitably abrasive musical arrangements, a collection of snippets from everyday life writ large - think Raymond Carver Short Cuts, overheard conversations, recounted happenings and telling one-liners, all sewed together to illustrate the times as they slowly mature, fully peppered with original Muses’ vim and vigour. Following a string of packed shows across Europe in Spring and Summer 2025, These shows are Throwing Muses'  first U.S. appearances in over a decade.

With nearly 40 years of Muses-history behind her, Kristin Hersh continues to be one of the most compelling voices in American rock — a fiercely original songwriter and a magnetic live performer.

  • Artsick

    Indie Pop

    Artsick is an indie pop band from Oakland/Seaside California. Artsick was formed by Riley Riley of the late Burnt Palms with Mario Hernandez of Kids On A Crime Spree on drums and originally featured Donna McKean of Lunchbox on bass. Words from Slumberland Records: “Artsick's debut album "Fingers Crossed" is a thrilling, compelling and downright fun record that surveys a vast swathe of indie and indiepop history, from DIY progenitors like Dolly Mixture through the punkier side of C86 (think Talulah Gosh, Fat Tulips) to the 90s K Records-centered International Pop Underground and straight through more recent exemplars like Vivian Girls and Colleen Green. It's all brought to life by Riley's songwriting as she crafts tunes that are as new-sounding as they are timeless, full of melodic twists and sharp, honest lyrics.”
