Violent Femmes

In the vibrant summer of 2016, Violent Femmes brought their signature punk-folk sound to the Lincoln Theatre in Washington, D.C., delivering a live performance that echoed their rich history. Leading up to this concert, the band had just released their album "We Can Do Anything" in 2016, marking a notable return to the studio after a five-year hiatus. This album was significant for its fresh sound, showcasing their evolution while still being rooted in the playful, gritty essence that defined them. Fans at the Lincoln were likely treated to a mix of classics and new material, a hallmark of their shows that sparks nostalgia and excitement simultaneously. It’s fascinating to note that, even after decades, the Femmes managed to captivate audiences with both their new works and the timeless hits like "Blister in the Sun." Their live energy, coupled with a rich catalog, makes each performance a special moment in time.
