Violent Femmes

On May 8, 2016, Violent Femmes took the stage at The Observatory in Santa Ana, delivering a high-energy performance that kicked off with their iconic tracks "Blister In The Sun" and "Kiss Off." At this point in their career, the band had just released their album "We Can Do Anything" in 2016, marking their first studio album in over a decade. This live performance showcased their signature blend of punk and folk, highlighting the band's enduring appeal since their self-titled debut in 1983. What’s fascinating is that despite the years, their music still resonates with both new and longtime fans, bringing a mix of nostalgia and contemporary relevance. The energy from the crowd as they sang along to these classics underscored the band's ability to evoke strong emotions, a testament to their influential place in alternative rock history.
