Violent Femmes - Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA June 10, 1994

Here's a digitization of a tape of the Violent Femmes at radio station KITS Live 105's "BFD" concert.

The Violent Femmes somehow managed to miss getting "bleeped" during Dance, M.F., Dance! not once...not twice...but twelve times. Consider it a "carpet f-bombing," to coin a phrase.

*Enclosed Notes*
Championed by Britain’s New Musical Express during the cowpunk days, the Violent Femmes’ Gordon Gano is blessed with a distinctive voice and writes Christian songs with a strange and perculiar slant. While Jesus Walking On The Water might fit your Sunday school, Country Death Song and Hallowed Ground would probably leave your Sunday congregation shaking their heads.

The Femmes, who hailed from Milwaukee, had three solid albums at the start of their career - the self-titled Violent Femmes (1982); Hallowed Ground (1984) and The Blind Leading The Naked (1986). While tracks from the first two albums continue to form the bedrock of the Violent Femmes canon, The Blind Leading The Naked had the then-timely Old Mother Reagan and the hit song, a cover of Marc Bolan’s Children Of The Revolution.

Yet, the Femmes were always under the radar, despite strong albums and guest musicians such as Jerry (Talking Heads) Harrison, guitarists Fred Frith and Leo Kottke and avant-garde saxophonist John Zorn. While Children Of The Revolution is missing from the Melbourne setlist, but when they get into a groove, as on No Killing, they do have a strong propulsive power.

The Femmes’ debut album was voted at No. 59 in BigO’s Top 100 Albums (1975-1995): “As nasal as rock vocals can get, Gano whines and laments on 10 tracks that drip with adolescent neurosis and hormonal surges. Where punk greats Iggy Pop and Jonathan Richman first assauge us with their point-blank treatise on teen hang-ups, Gano continues hallowed tradition in a voice that lays bare the hurt and the desire.”
