Throwing Muses were formed in 1983 by Kristin Hersh and her half-sister Tanya Donelly , who were both attending Rogers High School . They initially called themselves “Kristin Hersh and the Muses”, in which they were accompanied by bass player Elaine Adamedes and drummer Becca Blumen, who later were replaced by Leslie Langston and David Narcizo, respectively. Narcizo did not originally know how to play the drums, but when Hersh told him Blumen had left the band and he could join, Narcizo said, “I had never played a drum kit before – all I’d played was marching drums and concert drums. We found somebody whose kit we could borrow, but it arrived without cymbals. I learned to play on it without cymbals which then became my trademark early on.”
