And they’re bringing a new album to boot.
For the first time since 2017, US punk legends Violent Femmes are returning to Aussie shores in March for a massive seven-stop tour.
The four-piece dropped their tenth studio album, Hotel Last Resort, just months ago. Clocking in at just 36 minutes over ten tracks, the new LP still manages to pack a punch, covering themes of alienation, isolation, sexual frustration and angst.
On their Aussie circuit, the crew will be bringing their unique blend of folk, post-punk, jazz and blues to Hobart, Melbourne, the Gold Coast, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth.
Check out the dates for Violent Femmes’ national tour below:
Thursday March 19 — Odeon Theatre, Hobart TAS
Friday March 20 — Forum Theatre, Melbourne VIC
Saturday March 21 — Sandstone Rocks, Sandstone Point QLD
Sunday March 22 — Miami Marketta, Gold Coast QLD
