Throwing Muses: Southampton University

Chris Roberts, Melody Maker, 1 July 1989

MID-AFTERNOON on a Saturday the snap decision is taken to leg it down to Southampton (wherever that might be) and find the first night of the Throwing Musos tour. As a fan. Without anticipating the indulgence of writing lame poetry about it. Without being able to claim expenses. Surely there can be no more pure expression of my devotion to this unique group, who remain the most startling and unpredictable live sound sculptors on the underbelly of the universe! Be mindful, pop kids. Don't let them drift away.
