Violent Femmes

During the live recording of 'Kiss Off' on June 15, 2016, at The National in Richmond, Virginia, Violent Femmes had recently released their album 'We Can Do Anything' just a year prior in 2016. This album marked a return to their original punk-folk sound after a long hiatus from the studio, showcasing their distinctive blend of humor and angst. Interestingly, this concert came at a time when the band was embracing both nostalgia for their classic tracks and the excitement of their latest work, creating a unique atmosphere for fans. They looked to connect with the audience, making this live performance not just a showcase of old hits but also a celebration of their enduring relevance in the punk scene. It’s a testament to their ability to evolve while still staying true to their roots.
