Violent Femmes

In April 1985, when Violent Femmes performed 'Never Tell' at La Edad de Oro in Madrid, they were riding the wave of their explosive self-titled debut album, released in 1983. This album, which features hits like 'Blister in the Sun,' became a cult classic and solidified their place in the alternative music scene. By the time of this live recording, the band was gaining significant traction, attracting a loyal following, especially among the college crowd. It's interesting to note that their raw, energetic performances really captured the essence of the burgeoning punk and folk-rock fusion they were known for. Plus, this performance was part of their last shows at La Edad de Oro, marking an essential moment in their early career, blending spontaneity with the grit of live music that fans loved.
