Violent Femmes

In 2016, the Violent Femmes were reveling in a renewed energy following the release of their album "We Can Do Anything" just a few months prior, in March. This live recording of "No Killing" highlights their iconic blend of folk-punk sensibilities that had originally captured the hearts of fans in the '80s. Interestingly, this era marked a resurgence for the band, as they enjoyed a revival in popularity, which was reflected in their energetic performance at The Pageant. The blend of nostalgia and fresh material really struck a chord with the crowd, reminding everyone that, even decades later, the Femmes still know how to electrify an audience. It's also worth noting that during this time, they were re-energizing their legacy, proving their music is timeless, and their live shows remain unforgettable experiences.
