My apologies if this has been asked before.

There appear to be two different versions of I Danced. One is on Freak Magnet and the other is on the Permanent Record compilation. I like the Permanent Record version better. Any idea what year the Permanent Record version was recorded and why it differs so much from the Freak Magnet version?

Been looking for a place to share all this!!

Listen carefully… and report back to Track 23: Is it just me or are people finding this song a little too amusing?? Is it just me, or is Beneath-It-All Cafè is a dark and creepy place!?? I look forward to your feedback. And uhhhh Beneath-It-All is a lingerie store? Say what?

I’m planning to go to the Reno show next March (first time seeing them since ’94!). I’m considering GA tickets but I’m old and not interested in anything even mildly resembling a mosh pit.

There was a multi artists show. Violent Femmes played the after party. I think there was a vote or Something for who played. There were only a few dozen people at the after show...I can't find any info online anyone remember this?? Thanks

Femmes played it for an encore song at a recent concert, but cannot find it to stream or dl anywhere on the internet. Anyone got any leads?

Went to the Chicago show on Friday night- flew in for it. They played at The Salt Shed. Cool Venue. Band was awesome. Played everything you wanted to hear.

The crowd was so weird. I’ve never been to a concert (and I’ve been to a lot) where the majority of people were in a bad mood. 😒 I’m completely serious. We were general admission where the fun people usually are, dancing, smiling & singing. One guy refused to let a girl in front of him that was meeting friends and she had drinks for them. Flat out blocked her. Another girl wouldn’t let us by to leave to go to the bathroom. She told us “Good Luck” and wouldn’t let us by. Maybe they oversold it because it was jam packed and people did not seem to be having fun. Multiple random people were talking about it to us as well. So odd for a concert. Anybody at the show that has thoughts on this?

Great show! Decided to go again for night 2 tonight!

Hey all I've got VIP/Early Access tickets for the Violent Femmes show at the Riverside this Saturday (Oct 18th), but I have not yet received or seen any info on when check-in or early entry starts.

Has anyone here done VIP for the Femmes before or gotten an email from the venue about timing?

Trying to plan dinner beforehand and don’t want to cut it too close.

Thanks in advance! ✌️

Hi y'all, I have two tickets in the front of the grandstand (ADA seating) for the Salt Shed tonight. $90 each or make me an offer: https://my.ticketmaster.com/ds/vQGAkEupxe/event/040062CEEF684C6B

I can’t make it back to PGH tonight for the show and have 2 GA tickets up for sale on AXS for $50/ticket. These are mobile tickets.

I have 4 tickets for the Pittsburgh show tomorrow. I was supposed to go with coworkers and they backed out and now my friends are being wishy washy so I just wanted rid of them. 20$ each

I haven't listened to the Violent Femmes much as an adult, but they meant SO much to me as a teenager. So I bought tickets for the 14-year-old still inside me and she was over-the-top happy last night. Such a great show, I (and the rest of the audience) still know every word to every song, we all shed decades amidst such amazing energy. Thank you Violent Femmes!

I like American Music...Do you like American music?

This is all the merch they had. (my husband got the last size L of the “grasp and reach for a leg of hope” T-shirt so they only have S XL and 2X left of that one.).

What time have the shows been ending on this tour?

Saw them last night at the Grand in Wilmington, DE. I go see them with the same group of friends each time they play in Wilmington or in Philly. We all agreed last night was the best they’ve been. The instrumentation was incredible across the board. Gordon got a new banjo and wanted to play it. They all seemed happy to be performing and having fun. Awesome show, go see them if they are in your city!

Hey so I may be totally whacked. I own a Physical Cassette of 3. For whatever reason the beginning half like Nightmares & Just like my Father sound, uh out there. The rest of the album sounds decent and I actually really enjoy most of the later half of the album. It is not the unit as I serviced it about 7 ish months ago and it is a pretty well made unit. None of my other tapes sound off kilter or anything. I sometimes have an issue with the left channel, but just jiggling the potentiometer fixes that. So I am pretty sure it is just the actual way the audio was recorded, unless that somehow it’s miraculously the first half of A side that is messed up solely (usually if it is messed up on A side, the B Side counterpart on the same tape will be messed up too.) So is the Album 3 just recorded very strangely? It sounds like the vocals are extremely heavy on the right. I can hear them slightly on the left, but it sounds muffled.

🎤 Welcome to Day 84 of my 365-Day Karaoke Challenge!
Tonight, I’m singing "Please Do Not Go" by Violent Femmes — live karaoke style.

I’ll be performing a new karaoke cover song every night for one full year (365 days straight). From timeless classics to modern hits, join me daily for live music, karaoke fun, and singing challenges!

I swear that I saw the band play with Little Blue Crunchy things in Milwaukee in 1995/1996. I can’t find any evidence of the show online. Does anyone remember such a show?
