The career of the Violent Femmes has endured over four decades, and it's crazy to think how timeless their debut self-titled album is, despite it dropping in 1983. With "Blister in the Sun," "Add It Up" and "Gone Daddy Gone," it's no wonder the album is largely considered one of the top 100 debut records of all time. In the span of their career, the Violent Femmes have recorded nine studio albums plus a handful of live and compilation albums. Tonight, the legendary band plays at Humphreys, and I suspect it will be one awesome singalong. Around town, you've got solid local lineups at Soda Bar and Casbah, and the Office is going to be packed with lovers of Wham! and all things George Michael as they tackle his work in this month's Undercover.
