APPREARANCES AT NEWPORT FOLK FEST AND MORE
"Never quite grasping the success of some of their equally madcap peers, Violent Femmes have rightly earned their place in musical history with their outstanding debut alone." - NPR "The Wisconsin punk-folk trio's first album in 18 years occasionally summons the warped whimsy of their classic self-titled 1983 debut - only updated for ruined teens hitting their fifties." - Rolling Stone
(New York, NY) - Today, Violent Femmes announce additional tour dates to their extensive 2016 summer tour. Following a sold out Australian tour and many sold out West and East Coast dates in May and June; Violent Femmes are extending their U.S. tour to key Midwest and festival dates. The tour is in support of their latest album WE CAN DO ANYTHING, released March 4 ([PIAS]). Violent Femmes' world tour is underway now and will take the band throughout the West Coast, Midwest, and East Coast through May, June and July. As if that weren't enough, Violent Femmes has also been announced among the star-studded line-up for Radio 104.5's 9th Birthday Show at Camden, NJ's BB&T Pavilion, slated for June 17, Asbury Park's Stony Pony Summerstage series on June 19, KRZZ'S Beach Ball Buzz in Kansas City on July 16, and a performance at Newport Folk Fest on July 22.

Last month the band premiered the video for the first single, "Memory," from their new album via Record Store Day.

Watch the video for "Memory" HERE. To kick off the release of WE CAN DO ANYTHING, Violent Femmes made their first network TV live appearance in 16 years, performing "Memory" on CBS' Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
