Violent Femmes

In July 2017, Violent Femmes delivered an electrifying performance at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in St. Louis, showcasing their hit "Add It Up." By this point in their career, the band was riding the wave of their 2016 album, "We Can Do Anything," marking a triumphant return after more than a decade since their last studio project. This live recording captures not just their energetic presence, but also highlights the band's enduring appeal and roots in alternative rock. Their ability to effortlessly connect with the audience is especially palpable in this performance, reminding fans of their seminal folk-punk vibes that initially launched them into fame in the 80s. Interestingly, the band's resilience through changing music landscapes—a feat echoed in their extensive touring—speaks volumes about their impact and ongoing relevance.
