Perhaps it's not the full-on Throwing Muses reunion that band's slipped in and out of over the course of this decade, but it's still pretty great: Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donnelly, who together formed the creative center of the pioneering alt-rock group, will join up for a pair of shows at Boston's Brattle Theatre October 6. (This weekend? Man, good thing the Sox don't play 'til Sunday.)

As you probably know, both women have enjoyed successful careers apart from each other-- Hersh as a solo artist, and Donnelly as a solo artist and member of Belly and the Breeders.

The pair will play a solo set apiece before joining up onstage to close thing out. Hersh also has a mess of solo shows Down Under scheduled after her gig with Donnelly.

Thanks to reader Pete Savignano for the tip!
