Violent Femmes concert

[low_delta]

A few weeks ago, a friend called to say he was having a whisky tasting. I said I'd go. It was on a Thursday night, and I never have plans in advance for weeknights. I then checked my calendar, and found that was the only weeknight I had plans for the entire year. Friends wanted us to come to the park to see their son's band play. He was in town from Washington DC. I've known him for something like 25 years, so I kinda had to go.

So that was two things on the same night. Then I realized that was the night of the Violent Femmes concert at Summerfest. I had to go to that. Fortunately, one show was early and the other late, so I could see a little bit of the Muddy Crows, and then see the Femmes. I even got there early enough to see Midwest Death Rattle open for the Femmes. Though I only saw about half an hour of the Muddy Crows.

Here's my account of the Violent Femmes, with photos.

Cheers to another Violent Femmes gig!

Yeah. I'm contemplating seeing them in Chicago next week, too. :-)

There must be something ironic (but strangely enjoyable) about listening to a 53 year old man sing "Come on dad, give me the car tonight."

I got this girl, I wanna *boing*

I think when I hear it, I'm not picturing him saying those words, it's me. Even if I never actually was in that position. :-)

There was a time where I went to see them with some people, including a girl I was kinda, sorta, well... not really dating. So that struck me as a little weird.

Why are they called The Violent Women when I see no women?

It's just an obnoxious, punk, contradictory kind of name.
