Violent Femmes
2 Mics & the Truth: Unplugged & Unhinged in America
(2017)
In 2016, the Violent Femmes released the album "We Can Do Anything", and to promote it they went out on tour. In addition to playing concert venues, the Femmes appeared at a number of radio stations and media events, playing informal sets where they attacked their tunes in a relaxed but strongly committed style. The Femmes brought along a portable recording rig for the tour, and "2 Mics & the Truth" is a live album compiled from the tapes they made during the numerous acoustic radio sessions. The set list on "2 Mics" spans the group’s career, with the best-loved songs. "2 Mics & the Truth" is the sort of live album that's meant for committed fans rather than casual observers, but those fans will be pleasantly surprised at how much life is left in the Violent Femmes (and their songbook) almost 35 years after the release of their first album.
