Violent Femmes

In June 2014, Violent Femmes were riding a wave of renewed interest and activity after the release of their album "We Can Do Anything" in 2016. However, they had just released a comeback album in 2013, titled "Violent Femmes," which marked a significant return for the band—it's their first studio album in 15 years! The live performance of "KISS OFF" in Athens captures their raw energy and nostalgic charm, appealing to long-time fans while drawing in new audiences. This particular venue, Stage Volume 1, provided an intimate setting, enhancing the emotive connection between the band and the audience. Fun fact: the raw acoustic sound of the Violent Femmes, known for their unique blend of punk and folk, was pivotal in inspiring a generation of alternative rock artists in the 90s and beyond, creating a ripple effect in the indie music scene!
