Pretenders

On September 10, 1995, Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders performed "Brass in Pocket" live for the VH1 Fashion Awards, bringing a nostalgic flair back to their iconic sound. By this time, the band had recently released their album "Last of the Independents" in 1994, which featured the hit "I'll Stand By You." This album was a significant moment for the Pretenders, marking a shift towards a more mature sound while still retaining their rock roots. Hynde’s noteworthy ability to blend vulnerability with rock ‘n’ roll edge was as evident then as it was in their earlier hits. A fun fact? The VH1 Fashion Awards was a unique event that highlighted not just music but also the eclectic styles of the time, making this performance even more memorable. It was a celebration of music, style, and Chrissie's undying charisma.
