Violent Femmes

In July 1991, when Violent Femmes performed 'Country Death Song' live at the Town and Country Club in London, they were riding high after the release of their third studio album, 'Why Do Birds Sing?' two years prior. This album showcased their signature blend of folk-punk and new wave, with tracks that further explored their introspective and often dark themes. Interestingly, this live recording was part of the BBC Radio 1 'In Concert' series, allowing fans to experience the raw energy of their performance. By this time, the band was gaining a solid reputation for their dynamic live shows, which blended angst and humor, captivating audiences worldwide. Notably, the heartfelt and haunting quality of 'Country Death Song' resonated deeply with fans, adding a profound layer to their live repertoire.
