Violent Femmes Live Performance of Country Death Song at Showbox Seattle

Venue: Showbox Location: Seattle, Washington, United States Date: May 14, 2016

In May 2016, Violent Femmes took the stage at the Showbox in Seattle to perform their iconic track 'Country Death Song,' a haunting piece that speaks to their ability to blend punk energy with folk storytelling. By this time, the band had just released their first studio album in sixteen years, titled 'We Can Do Anything,' in 2016. This album marks a significant return to form, showcasing their distinctive sound that gained them a loyal following in the early '80s. It’s worth noting that the band's live performances, particularly this one, encapsulate a rich history of intimacy and raw energy, drawing listeners into their world with sincerity. With their blend of humor and depth, Violent Femmes remind us how powerful live music can be, evoking nostalgia while also proving their relevance in today’s music landscape.
