50 Foot Wave

50 Foot Wave

On March 23, 50 Foot Wave will release 50 Foot Wave, their eponymously titled debut. The independently released six-song collection will be the first of a series of "mini-albums." With a planned release of a new mini-album every nine months; this is considerably more frequent than the standard music business cycle of a full-length album every two years. The band believes this format is more affordable, more digestible and more desirable to music listeners today. 50 Foot Wave is comprised of Throwing Muses front woman Kristin Hersh, joined by bassist Bernard Georges (Throwing Muses) and drummer Rob Ahlers. This is Hershâ€™s first new band since she founded the influential Throwing Muses and promises to be a harder, faster, more direct experience. 50 Foot Wave will tour extensively, projecting over 100 shows a year in the U.S. alone. The band has already developed a reputation as an overwhelming live experience. This strong emphasis on performance builds on Kristinâ€™s always-innovative methods of involving fans in the music. To satisfy curiosity about the new project early in the life of 50 Foot Wave, the band held open rehearsals in Los Angeles for 150 fans from their web community, throwingmusic.com, some traveling thousands of miles to attend. 50 Foot Wave hopes to bring the independent spirit of ThrowingMusic to their label imprint, which will be releasing their output. Relying on one-to-one relationships rather than marketing dollars to drive their music business, 50 Foot Wave continues to strengthen the bond between band and fan.
