Violent Femmes

At the Cruel World Festival on May 14, 2022, in Pasadena, California, Violent Femmes delivered a compelling live performance of "Prove My Love." This moment comes well after their iconic self-titled debut album, which burst onto the scene in 1983 and became a defining record of alternative music. By 2022, the band was revisiting their roots while also showcasing an enduring relevance in the music world, highlighted by their knack for blending punk rock with folk influences. An interesting fact about the Femmes is their penchant for passionate live sets, often making a connection with fans that feels deeply personal, something evident in their energetic rendition during this festival. After enduring various line-up changes and a hiatus in the late '90s, the band’s ability to draw crowds and create a lively atmosphere speaks to their lasting impact, and this performance at Cruel World is no exception.
