Violent Femmes

In 2014, while performing at Project Pabst in Portland, Oregon, Violent Femmes showcased their distinctive punk-folk sound, reminding fans of their enduring relevance decades after their debut. Just before this live recording, the band released 'We Can Do Anything' in 2016, marking their first studio album in over 15 years. This release rekindled their unique blend of playful yet introspective lyrics, reflecting their evolution. Interestingly, the Femmes gained massive popularity with their self-titled debut in 1983, a staple of American alternative music. Their live shows have always been legendary, filled with chaotic energy and raw emotion, creating a unique bond between the band and the audience. This performance at Project Pabst stands as a testament to their ability to evolve while maintaining that quintessential raw spirit, making it a must-watch for long-time fans and newcomers alike.
