Violent Femmes

In 2018, when Violent Femmes performed 'Kiss Off' live at Arroyo Secco, they were riding a wave of resurgence in their career. This performance came after their 2016 album, "We Can Do Anything," which marked their first studio release in over 15 years. The Femmes have always been known for their energetic live shows, and this performance is no exception—it captures their raw, punk-infused sound that's both nostalgic and fresh. Interestingly, their signature blend of folk-punk has influenced countless artists across genres, showing just how enduring their music is. The band’s ability to connect with audiences remains strong, as evidenced by the raucous response at Arroyo Secco. The intimacy of the setting paired with their dynamic stage presence highlights why they've maintained a dedicated fanbase since the 1980s.
