Violent Femmes | 6/22/07 Review & Download

Last Thursday the music hungry faithful of Buffalo descended on the city for some true classic alternative rock and roll. Violent Femmes returned to Thursday In The Square in downtown Buffalo for the 2nd year in a row.
The crowd consisted of teenagers who “were brought up on the Femmes” to older fans in their 30’s and 40’s reliving their youth. The band played many songs off it’s debut album from 1983 to a very enthusiastic crowd.
One of the coolest things about being at these free shows in the Square all summer (besides the line-up which is amazing this year) is seeing how the crowd reacts to the band and the band to the crowd. I have seen this many times with the likes of Uhmphrey’s McGee a few weeks ago and Yonder Mountain String Band in 2006.
The Buffalo population loves live music and the crowd packed in with body surfing taking place throughout the entire set. The ‘Femme’s looked to be in their glory as well feeding off the energy of the crowd and improvising on a few songs.
Well enough of my rant….lets get to the good stuff. Thanks to the guys at UpstateTapers.org for taping and uploading this set. Click here to download this entire show via torrent >Violent Femmes 2007-06-21 Buffalo-NY
