Catching Up with The Femmes

Another band that is still around and, yes, still playing live is Violent Femmes. Click here to view their official site, vfemmes.com, complete with a seemingly endless amount of trivia -- for example, Gordon Gano is one of the closest living relations to eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes. The trivia section also includes a lot of fun, often self-deprecating anecdotes -- well worth checking out.

Anyway, if you're looking to catch a Femmes show, click here -- the dates are listed with farthest-in-the-future dates at the top of the page, so be sure to scroll down. It looks as if the three original members are still involved, as well as a couple of other musicians. They're just wrapping up a series of European dates and have dates scheduled in the US and South Africa over the summer.
