Violent Femmes

In the live recording from Coachella 2013, Violent Femmes delivered a spirited performance that resonated with both nostalgia and fresh energy. This set came during a fascinating phase of their career, as they had just released their first studio album in over 15 years, 'We Can Do Anything,' in 2016. However, before that, by the time of this Coachella performance, the band was primarily known for their classic 1983 self-titled debut and subsequent hits in the 80s and 90s. Interestingly, the Femmes demonstrated their enduring appeal; they drew a crowd that relished in their anthemic sound still relevant decades later. The Coachella appearance marked not just a return to live performance but also an acknowledgment of their lasting impact on alternative rock. It was a moment where fans could celebrate both their new material and the beloved hits, like 'Add It Up,' that helped shape the band's legacy.
