Violent Femmes are an American alternative rock band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, initially active from 1980 to 1987 and again from 1988 to 2009. As of 2013, they are active again. The band has performed as a trio, including singer, guitarist and songwriter Gordon Gano, bassist Brian Ritchie, and three drummers: Victor DeLorenzo (1980–1993, 2002–2009 and 2013), Guy Hoffman (1993–2002) and Brian Viglione (2013–2016).
The Violent Femmes have released eight studio albums and fifteen singles during the course of their career. The band found immediate success with the release of their self-titled debut album in early 1983. Featuring many of their well-known songs, including "Blister in the Sun", "Kiss Off", "Add It Up" and "Gone Daddy Gone", Violent Femmes became the band's biggest-selling album and was eventually certified platinum by the RIAA. Violent Femmes went on to become one of the most successful alternative rock bands of the 1980s, selling over 9 million albums by 2005. After the release of their third album The Blind Leading the Naked (1986), the band's future was uncertain and they split up in 1987, when Gano and Ritchie went solo. However, they regrouped a year later, releasing the album 3 (1989). Since then, Violent Femmes' popularity continued to grow, especially in the United States where the songs "Nightmares" and "American Music" cracked the top five on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

The Violent Femmes were founded by Brian Ritchie (bassist), and Victor DeLorenzo (percussionist) as a rhythm section, and became a full-fledged band upon the arrival of Gordon Gano (singer/guitarist). In its early days, the band frequently played coffee houses and street corners. They were discovered (and subsequently forgotten) by James Honeyman-Scott (of The Pretenders) August 23, 1981 when the band was busking on a street corner in front of the Oriental Theatre, the Milwaukee venue that The Pretenders would be playing later that night. Chrissie Hynde invited them to play a brief acoustic set after the opening act.[1] The band signed to Slash Records and released a self-titled album that they had recorded in July 1982. The music was an innovative combination of American folk music and in...

The Violent Femmes were the final band to ever play at Auckland's His Majestys Theatre before its controversial 1988 demolition. Gordon Gano played Mr. Zank, the first of many substitute math teachers in an episode of The Adventures of Pete & Pete ("X=Why?"). The band appeared on the early-1990s sitcom Clarissa Explains It All. They have also been featured as themselves in one episode of the TV Show Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.

Where were you
When Judas needed a band
Sitting in the backseat
With another woman in your hand
Don't look this way
With your changing point of view
Just sit on a fence
And pretend to be you
Christ is crying
Outside your church door
Don't let him in
He'll get mud on your floor
Just put on your apron
And count up all the money
Don't you smell the burning
And you just think it's funny
You love yourself
You love yourself
Have we become what we wanted?
You go ahead, I'll love myself more
You're a man
Who works for the Lord
Polishing the statues
When their faces look worn
The best of times
And the worst of men
Don't seem to affect you
You're asleep again
You love yourself
You love yourself
Have we become what we wanted?
You go ahead, I'll love myself more
