Violent Femmes

On July 20, 2007, Violent Femmes brought their high-energy sound to Power Plant Live! in Baltimore. By this date, the band had been creating music for over two decades since their eponymous debut album in 1983, renowned for its raw folk-punk energy. Leading up to this live recording, they had released 'Freak Magnet' in 1998, which showcased their evolution, blending a mix of punk rock and alternative sounds. This concert was part of a resurgence for the band, as they were touring again and connecting with both old fans and new audiences. It's interesting to note how their music still resonated deeply with fans, even years after their initial hits. The emotive nature of songs like 'Kiss Off' encapsulates the angst of youth, making it a timeless favorite, and this live performance certainly emphasizes the band's lasting impact.
