Violent Femmes

In November 1990, Violent Femmes were riding a wave of success with their 1988 album '3,' showcasing their unique blend of folk-punk and alternative rock. By the time of the live recording of "Look Like That" at The Boathouse, the band was cementing their reputation as energetic live performers, known for their raw sound and engaging stage presence. Interestingly, this performance comes just before the band would release their 1991 album 'Why Do Birds Sing?', which features a mix of introspective lyrics and catchy melodies that would further expand their discography. It’s worth noting that the Femmes often earned their stripes on live stages, where their spontaneous energy really shone—something that's beautifully captured in this recording. Their journey was not only about studio albums, but also about the electric experience of connecting with fans in person.
