Kristin Hersh: Queen Elizabeth Hall, London
Ian Gittins, The Guardian, 28 March 2008
KRISTIN HERSH HAD A TRAUMATIC 1980S. She formed a band, US indie-rock icons Throwing Muses, when she was just 14, and thereafter had to deal with the pressures of cult stardom, becoming a teenage mother and battling the voices in her head that eventually led to her being diagnosed as schizophrenic. She was hospitalised as the decade ended.
