Violent Femmes

In June 2016, Violent Femmes was actively re-establishing their presence in the music scene after a hiatus. At this time, they had recently released the album *We Can Do Anything* in March 2016. This album marked the band's return to the studio after a long break, signaling a revival of their distinctive folk-punk sound. The live recording of "Jesus Walking On The Water" at Electric Lady Studios reflects their ongoing experimentation and collaboration, featuring renowned banjo player Tony Trischka. The session showcases their adaptability and willingness to incorporate diverse influences, staying true to their innovative spirit. Following their peak in the 1980s, the Femmes' resurgence highlighted their enduring appeal and ability to connect with both old fans and new audiences, as demonstrated by their performance during this significant recording.
