Violent Femmes

In June 2014, Violent Femmes delivered an electrifying performance at Stage Volume 1 in Athens, showcasing their iconic track "Blister in the Sun." At this point in their career, they had just released the album "We Can Do Anything" in 2016, marking their return after a lengthy hiatus since 2000's "Freak Magnet." This live recording captures the band's unique blend of punk and folk, which has resonated with fans since their self-titled debut album in 1983. It's fascinating to note that despite their earlier struggles with mainstream success, songs like this one became cult classics and helped solidify their legacy as a pivotal act in alternative music. The atmosphere at the venue must've been electric, as audiences often join in on that catchy chorus, making for an unforgettable night.
