Violent Femmes

On May 10, 2023, Violent Femmes teamed up with the San Diego Symphony for a special live performance at The Rady Shell, celebrating their 40th anniversary. This event came shortly after the release of their album "Hotel Last Resort," which dropped in 2019 and showcased the band’s continued evolution while maintaining their distinctive sound. Known for their spirited mix of punk and folk influences, the Femmes have always had a knack for connecting with audiences, a trait clearly on display during this live recording. The energy in the venue was palpable, as fans relished the iconic hit "Blister in the Sun," a classic that has resonated through the decades. It’s fascinating how, even after all these years, they manage to captivate both new and nostalgic listeners alike.
