A Brief History of the Violent Femmes
Formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the early ’80s, Violent Femmes quickly became the soundtrack for teens and young adults dealing with the boredom, elation, and confusion of growing up. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1983, chronicled frontman Gordon Gano’s life as a high schooler in real-time. The result? Songs like “Blister in the Sun” and “Kiss Off” became anthems for awkwardness, rebellion, and youthful frustration. The band’s unique combination of folk, punk, and rock set them apart, and they became pioneers of a genre that perfectly reflected the adolescent experience.
The record’s success has spanned generations, with over 3 million copies sold worldwide and a reputation as one of the greatest albums of the ’80s. From performing at Lollapalooza to covering their hits in movies like Grosse Pointe Blank, the Violent Femmes have remained as timeless as ever. Now, they’re back on the road, celebrating over 40 years of music that still resonates with fans new and old.
