Violent Femmes - American Music Live Performance at TURF 2014
In July 2014, the Violent Femmes performed live at TURF in Toronto, capturing the spirit of their iconic punk-folk sound. This performance came after the release of their 2013 album "We Can Do Anything," which marked a significant comeback after years of intermittent activity. The live recording showcases their timeless hit, "American Music," reminiscent of their self-titled debut from 1983, a record that cemented their place in alternative rock history. During this period, the band was energized by nostalgia, appealing to both long-time fans and new audiences. Interestingly, 2014 also marked the anniversary of their first album, allowing them to blend classic tracks with newer material, embodying that authentic, raw energy they’re known for. Experiencing their live performance in such a historical venue as Fort York only added to the unforgettable vibe of the event.
