Violent Femmes will play Australian dates starting in Melbourne on March 16.
“We would like to continue our decades-long love affair with Australia by bringing the rock to the regions. We will be playing old favourites and new with our usual shambolic splendor, ” Femmes Aussie member Brian Ritchie said.
This year Violent Femmes released ‘We Can Do Anything’, their first album in 16 years.
Some of the shows will feature indigenous father/daughter duo Rayella.
“Eleanor and Raymond’s father/daughter vocal frontline lend authenticity to their stories of life, aspirations and place… Their music is a deep blend of modern life and ancient energy,” Brian said.
