Violent Femmes

On September 12, 2013, Violent Femmes took the stage at Central Park SummerStage, but in an unusual twist, their show was cut short just after three songs due to inclement weather. At this time, the band was riding a wave of nostalgia and rekindling their legacy, having just released their first studio album in over 15 years, 'Freak Magnet' (2000), followed closely by 'Happy Birthday' (2011), which celebrated their 30th anniversary. The group, known for their raucous blend of punk and folk, found new life on stages, showcasing their iconic tunes like 'Blister in the Sun' to both longtime fans and new listeners. This particular performance was a unique moment, as it highlighted the unpredictable nature of live music, leaving fans yearning for more—a stark reminder of how quickly plans can change in the entertainment world.
