Violent Femmes

In 2007, when Violent Femmes performed "Add It Up" live at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, they were basking in the glow of their enduring legacy. This performance came just a few years after the release of their album "Freak Magnet" in 1998, which showcased their unique blend of punk and folk influences. While they may not have had a new studio album released right before this performance, the band's influence in alternative rock was still palpable, resonating with both longtime fans and newer audiences. Interestingly, this show on July 4th featured the band celebrating America’s independence, adding a certain edge to their typically raw sound. The stunning backdrop of Red Rocks only amplified the energy of the evening, making it a memorable chapter in their long history.
