RE: MountainView Show
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi y’all!
Wow, Amber, sounds like you had quite a night! *pout* Wish I could have
gone to the show out here! I have a friend who went, he said they were
awesome (duh!). Also, why would Smashmouth even play the same show as Our
Femmes? Smashmouth is horrid punk, and I was actually dumb enough to buy
their CD, which blows except for the single. Maybe the Femmes could cover
Walkin’ on the Sun… just an idea…

RE: Please Come to the East Coast
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
its regards to “please come to the east coast” i totally agree but more
of the poughkeepsie ny area (it’s 1 1/2 hours above the city for anyone
that wanted to know) 18 and over is fine (im 18) but i would love to see
the femmes i never hear about them being around here, they were in the
city last year but i had to work and couldnt get down there. so any info
on concerts around me would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jill

RE:New Album Info Needed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> Pat, I need Info on the next album the Femmes are working on. I cant
> find Info anywhere. Please help me!!!!!!!!! Thank you.

Hey there all you Friends of the Femmes. There is no info. anywhere
because there is a problem. The Femmes record co., Interscope Records, is
not releasing an album anytime soon-the femmes are not even listed on the
band list in the web site. The Femmes have had plenty of music written
for some time (per the band), but Interscope will not release anything but
“big hit” music. They will not even make ROCK available to us in the U.S.
We need to let them know that we stand behind our band and want more
music, along with more shows. I think this is a great injustice and we,
as fans, are the ones who suffer. I have listed the #s and addresses so
we can make our opinions known to them. Or if you prefer, I’m also
including a petition that you can just forward to them.

Re: VIOLENT FEMMES RELEASE!
Dear Mr. Whalley & Interscope Records:

I am writing to petition a new release of VIOLENT FEMMES music. As an
avid fan of this band and its members, I feel that their body of work
is worth continuing development and growth. It appeals to their original
fans as well as a large number of new fans alike. I would purchase new
music by the Violent Femmes and would buy tickets to attend more shows,
if they were available in my area. As well, I would like to have “ROCK”,
the import CD available to me in U.S. stores.

Please release more of this great band to the fans. Thank you for your
attention.

they have??

-Pat. says: I know of American Music, Nightmares, Blister (don’t know
if it’s BITS or Blister 2000, I’ve heard about it, and know
Gordon hates it, but never seen it). I know there’s a lot
more, anyone want to compile a list? Which reminds me, Kara
I know I’m long overdue in sending you that video. I haven’t
forgotten, it’s just that life has a habit of getting in the
way!

RE: Musical Tastes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“i love the violent femmes, but i strongly like marilyn manson, the
bosstones (whose show i’m gonna see
nov. 1st), and mary j. blige, pink floyd, and nin. i could listen to
all their stuff at minute intervals cuz i like them as artists. it
don’t matter what kinda music they make, as long as somebody likes
it…”

–

I understand completely. I have the most varied tastes in music in
relation to everyone I have ever met. I love the Femmes, but also like
the Barenaked Ladies, the Pogues, The Doors, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The
Rolling Stones, Squirrel Nut Zippers, a lot of SKA, the Dead Milkmen,
and the list goes on. You can ask me about almost any band I bet I’ve
heard something of their’s. I can listen to a Doors CD then a Dead
Milkmen and a VF CD and it doesn’t bother me at all. I sink into the
rhythm of the music and just mellow out or in some cases get hyped up.
I may not agree with some of the lyrics of some band or the message
another band sends, but what difference should that make. Just because
I like their music doesn’t mean that I worship them.

Throwing Undies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
forgot about this part…. any of the girls ever throw underwear up on
stage?

I did B4 it wasn’t at the V/F but some other band called the vermisious
kinids or some thing like that, they were awesome. A bunches of ppl went
up to mejiers and bought a 5 pack ((or however many there are in the lil
packages)) of different kinds of underwear, we wrote our addresses and
names on the and each pick a different kind of underwear, mine were
french lace….
anyways we each got letters from the band! they had put the underwear up
as a shrine in the basement of the singers house, where they practice
((this is a band that isn’t too well know but that’s how the suicide
machines got started!)) it was awesome we still write back and forth and
when ever they play at pharoes ((night club 4 all ages)) we go and throw
underwear on stage…..
i got my letter first, heeheeheeheee wonder why…….

seana

-Pat. says: Sorry about this, but my own personal first response to this
is EEEWWWWW. I don’t think the band appreciates things
thrown at them either.
