The band has seven Southern California shows between May 5-13 at which it will play the iconic album in full.
Gordon Gano was still a high school kid when he wrote all the songs on Violent Femmes’ 1983 self-titled debut, an album that captured teen angst with songs such as “Blister In The Sun,” “Add It Up” and “Gone Daddy Gone.”
The Violent Femmes’ self-titled debut album, which includes songs such as “Blister In The Sun” and “Gone Daddy Gone,” turns 40 this year. The band will celebrate by playing it in full on a tour that includes seven Southern California dates between May 5-13. All of which helped nudge the band to play the album in full on a tour that includes seven Southern California concerts between May 5 and May 13. The lineup currently includes Gano and original bassist Brian Ritchie with John Sparrow, who replaced original drummer Victor DeLorenzo, and multi-instrumentalist Blaise Garza.
“Victor was in his mid-20s, which I’m sure for him must have been like, ‘Wow, I’m playing with this kid, but it’s sort of good, I think,’” Gano says. “You mentioned the acoustic bass,” Gano continues. “When Brian started playing that, I don’t think he or I knew anybody that was doing it. Then later, people started doing it but still nobody would sound like him with the way he would play.
So when Violent Femmes saw that the Pretenders had a show in Milwaukee, they decided to go downtown and play for the fans waiting in line for the show.
