Violent Femmes playing their debut album in full on tour for its 40th anniversary

The Violent Femmes‘ self-titled debut album — which contains classics like “Blister in the Sun,” “Add it Up,” “Gone Daddy Gone,” “Kiss Off,” and more — turns 40 this year, and to celebrate, they’ll be playing it in full on tour. Dates kick off May 7 in Ventura, CA and so far include Los Angeles, San Diego (backed by an orchestra), Pioneertown, Santa Fe, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Tulsa, and Denver. Hopefully more shows will be announced soon. All dates, which are with Jesse Ahern, are listed below.

In other news, their debut album is getting its first-ever picture disc vinyl pressing for Record Store Day 2023. It features the album art on one side, with the inner sleeve on the flipside. Check out the picture disc art and tracklist, and listen to the album, below.
