Violent Femmes

At the time of the live recording on October 22, 2022, Violent Femmes had just released their album 'Hotel Last Resort' in 2019, which marked a significant addition to their discography after a long hiatus from original material. This album was a blend of their signature punk-folk sound with new, refreshing themes, showing their evolution while still paying homage to their roots. Interestingly, during this live performance at the Count Basie Theater, the audience's energy and nostalgia for hits like 'Blister in the Sun' highlighted the enduring legacy of the band since their breakthrough in the '80s. It's a testament to how their music continues to resonate across generations, making each live show feel like a celebration of their rich history and ongoing relevance in the music scene.
