Violent Femmes

In the live recording from May 7, 2016, at Fingerprints in Long Beach, California, the Violent Femmes were riding a wave of renewed energy following the release of their album 'We Can Do Anything' in 2016. This record marked their first studio album in over 15 years, showcasing a blend of their classic folk-punk sound with fresh elements. It's fascinating how, even after decades in the music scene, they continued to evolve and resonate with both old fans and new listeners. This performance highlights the band's signature rawness and wit, encapsulating their long-standing connection with live audiences. It's a joy to hear them play 'American Music,' a track that has become a quintessential anthem for many, reminding us how great music transcends time and resonates through the ups and downs of life.
