Violent Femmes

On November 8, 1990, the Violent Femmes delivered an electrifying live performance at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne, Australia. At this point in their career, they were riding high on the wave of their third studio album, 'Why Do Birds Sing?', released earlier that year. This album marked a shift in their sound, blending their iconic punk-folk style with a more polished production. An interesting tidbit? The band had a reputation for their spontaneous and energetic live shows, often mixing humor with poignant lyrics, which made their performances unforgettable. This particular recording captures that magic, highlighting tracks that resonate with raw emotion and a sense of rebellion. Fans still treasure these live renditions, as they encapsulate the spirit of the band during a vibrant period of their career.
