Violent Femmes

In this electrifying performance captured on October 10, 1984, the Violent Femmes were riding the wave of success following their self-titled debut album released earlier that year. Their unique blend of punk, folk, and rock resonated deeply with audiences, and this live set showcases their raw energy and passionate delivery. One interesting tidbit: the band’s music was initially recorded on a shoestring budget, but it quickly gained traction, leading to a whirlwind of touring and live performances like the one in Bremen. The setlist features crowd favorites like 'Gone Daddy Gone' and 'I Hear the Rain,' highlighting their distinctive songwriting and captivating stage presence. This concert represents a pivotal moment in their early career, cementing their role in the alternative music scene and introducing them to a broader audience.
