Violent Femmes Australian Tour

Folk punk band Violent Femmes are returning to Australian shores this coming March for their first national tour since 2017. This time, they come with a brand new album—their 10th—Hotel Last Resort, which resides among the band's finest work, simultaneously refining and redefining their one-of-a-kind take on American music, mingling front porch folk, post punk, spiritual jazz, country blues, avant garde minimalism and golden age rock 'n' roll into something still altogether their own.

"The Violent Femmes are practically in a genre of their own. Their songs have traveled with us through breakups and good times alike. The Femmes engagement with the audience is remarkable. The crowd goes wild for each and every of the many hits in the bands repertoire, singing along at the top of their collective lungs." - Torched Magazine May 2019

The Femme's support acts span the sublime to the ridiculous and include South Sudanese performer Gordon Koang (with full band), all female Cretan traditionalists Bandidas, indigenous singer/songwriter Chris Tamwoy and Femmes' bass player Brian Ritchie's own side act, The Toilet Brushes.
