    I’m 58 years old, I lived in San Diego for about 12 years in the 80s early 90s. This band was played on 91X a lot. Although I was a poor boy back then I couldn’t buy CDs, but I always enjoyed this band. I remember thinking these are some young punks having a blast. It’s funny now that I see them they’re not so young. Still a little younger than me though. Super fun, glad I found this.

      Haha same question 😂 theyre amazing listening to them for more than 20 years now. Mostly freak magnet in the old times on cd. It is a kind of feeling that not many bands have. It is like a unique charme that come 90 % from the voice. Where unpopular feelings have its space as well as punk and singer songwriter

I really should have went over to the tshirt table they were supposed to be there. Boy I was dumb. I could of meeted Gordan and Brian. We were in a hurry to get out of there. Guess that comes with being old and needed to get home to bed LOL.

Had tickets to see them at Irvine Meadows in SoCal but it got canceled due to lack of interest, LOL. WTF? Would love to see them to Budapest, Hungary, where I currently am now. Think I'll have to send them a request. That whole album was GOLD.

    Judging from all these Violent Femmes videos, you would think they had no drummer. I mean WTF? They're a power trio, he's the most innovative guy in the band, and no cameraman/director ever bothers to put his playing in the shot.
