Violent Femmes Live Performance of Hallowed Ground at Troxy, London
In the live recording of 'Hallowed Ground' from June 18, 2014, at Troxy in London, Violent Femmes showcased their enduring charm and rough-around-the-edges vibe that has captured audiences since their early days. By this point, the band had recently released 'Vigilante,' their ninth studio album, in 2019, but the performance harkens back to their roots, reflecting their unique blend of punk, folk, and rock influences that originally surged from their self-titled debut in 1983. This particular concert also featured their classic hits, providing listeners a taste of nostalgia while striking a fresh balance with their newer material. Interestingly, this venue—a historic cinema turned concert hall—added a unique atmosphere to the live experience, echoing the vibrant, raw energy that fans have come to love.
