Few bands have captured the angst, sexual frustration, and repressed rage of the "80s and "90s better than the Violent Femmes. Without falling prey to death, breakups, and commercial overexposure, the Femmes have maintained their simmering intensity with an ever-growing loyal fan base of former punks, Generation Xers, and their younger brothers and sisters. The Wisconsin trio captures nearly two decades of Post-Punk smarminess with Viva Wisconsin, a live retrospective recorded during a one-week tour of their home state in October 1998 that boasts a depth of song choices and performances. This collection is a must for Femmes fans and a great way to introduce casual fans to the band"s body of work. Features the bonus track, "Outside The Palace". 2006.
