This past August, as their co-headlining tour with Echo & The Bunnymen reached its end, the Violent Femmes stopped by Seattle radio station KEXP to perform a 22-minute set for listeners, which now has been posted in full video glory for the rest of us to see.
As you can watch below, the trio — co-founders Gordon Gano and Brian Ritchie, plus new drummer John Sparrow (and his BBQ grill) — performed four classics for the crowd: “Blister in the Sun,” “Please Do Not Go,” “American Music” and “Country Death Song.”
The Femmes head back out on the road next week with a Wisconsin-heavy tour itinerary.
Check out that full video below.
