Violent Femmes

In 2017, during a vibrant period of their career, Violent Femmes were riding high on the wave of their recent album, "We Can Do Anything," released just a year earlier. This album, their first in over 15 years, marked a refreshing return, showcasing their signature mix of folk-punk and new musical explorations. The live performance in St. Louis, featuring the charismatic Pokey LaFarge, underscores their enduring appeal and ability to evolve while remaining true to their roots. Interesting tidbit: the Femmes were originally formed in the early '80s, gaining notoriety for their unique sound, and their hit single "Blister in the Sun" remains a staple. This live recording not only captures that nostalgia but also reflects their ongoing journey as artists, uniting both new fans and long-time followers.
