Do you like American Music?
You know we still love the Violent Femmes. Their Midwestern tour starts next Wednesday, October 18th.
We caught the band when they re-formed in 2015 and again at their triumphant return to First Avenue with a double residency: 05 July 2016 and 06 July 2016. Both shows were great because they did two different sets.
And we can confirm they play all their hit songs, including ‘Blister in the Sun’, ‘Kiss Off’, ‘Gone Daddy Gone’ and ‘American Music’.
Tour dates:
10/20 – South Milwaukee, WI – Performing Arts Center *
