The Violent Femmes Live Performance Featuring Mike Federali at The Norva
On October 4, 2007, Violent Femmes took the stage at The Norva, a performance that showcased their enduring punk-folk vibe. By this time, the band was riding a resurgence, having released their sixth studio album, 'Folly,' just a year prior in 2006. 'Folly' marked a return to the band's signature sound and featured fan favorites that captured their unique blend of youthful rebellion and acoustic charm. The live recording reflects their raw energy and loyalty to their roots, with Mike Federali joining the iconic trio, adding a fresh dynamic to their classic hits. Interestingly, Violent Femmes initially formed in 1981 and gained traction through their self-titled debut, which is often seen as a cult classic. Their appeal has remained strong over the decades, illustrating how their music transcends time and connects with generations.
