Violent Femmes

3 concerts

The Violent Femmes, formed in early '80s Milwaukee by Gordon Gano, Brian Ritchie, and Victor DeLorenzo, are pioneers of alternative rock known for their jittery, catchy tunes. Discovered by Pretenders' James Honeyman-Scott, their 1983 debut album, featuring hits like "Blister in the Sun," found cult status. They evolved with albums like 1991's "Why Do Birds Sing?" and collaborated with icons like Tom Verlaine. Despite lineup changes and hiatuses, their influence endures, marked by a 2023 deluxe reissue of their debut.
