Which band was formed first, Massive Attack or Throwing Muses?
Throwing Muses Throwing Muses is an alternative rock band formed in 1981 in Newport, Rhode Island, that toured and recorded extensively until 1997, when its members began concentrating more on other projects. The group was originally fronted by two lead singers, Kristin Hersh, and Tanya Donelly, who both wrote the group's songs. Throwing Muses are known for performing music with shifting tempos, creative chord progressions, unorthodox song structures, and surreal lyrics. The group was set apart from other contemporary acts by Hersh's stark, candid writing style; Donelly's pop stylings and vocal harmonies; and David Narcizo's unusual drumming techniques eschewing use of cymbals. Hersh's hallucinatory, febrile songs occasionally touched on the subject of mental illness, more often drawing portraits of characters from daily life or addressing relationships.
The Javelins The Javelins, sometimes also known as Ian Gillan & the Javelins, was a 1960s band fronted by Ian Gillan of Deep Purple. The band played live but never recorded in their initial spell together. The other members included rhythm guitarist Tony Tacon, bass player Tony Whitfield,drummer Keith Roach and lead guitarist Gordon Fairminer. All from Hayes/Heston area of West London.
