VIOLENT FEMMES (Deluxe) SLASH/RHINO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SLASH/RHINO CELEBRATES TWENTY YEARS OF KISSING OFF

Deluxe 2 Disc Reissue of Violent Femmes’ Classic First Album Due June 18

It’s gone, daddy, gone — Slash/Rhino’s reissue of the first Violent
Femmes album, that is. On June 18 Slash Records/Rhino Entertainment
brings back one of the greatest albums of the 1980s, VIOLENT FEMMES,
in a deluxe edition two-disc package.

Taking the term “deluxe edition” to a new level, this two-disc set
boasts 36 tracks, including not only the original 10-song album, but an
additional 26 cuts-22 of which are previously unavailable. Liner notes by
noted author/journalist Michael Azzerad (Our Band Could Be Your Life)
provide insight into the band’s history and the making of the record.
Disc one offers the original album, plus nine demos, as well as “Ugly”
and “Gimme The Car.”

Live recordings, all from the era of VIOLENT FEMMES’ original release,
comprise disc two, capturing all the excitement and energy that make a
Violent Femmes show such a party. These tracks showcase a band that built
its reputation on its frenetic live shows and offer fans the opportunity
to discover or remember the magic of early Femmes performances. Especially
appealing is the between-song chatter, offering a glimpse into the goup’s
rapport amongst themselves and with their audiences. All but one of the
15 tracks are previously unavailable (“Special” was released as a
flexidisc in Alternative Press magazine). Highlights include a more
than six-minute version of “Add it Up,” a seven-plus-minute version of
“Never Tell,” and early performances of songs that would later appear
on subsequent Femmes releases. Also included are three songs that
never made it to the studio for recording (“Her Television,” “How Do
You Say Goodbye,” and “In Style”), and a radio interview with Michael
Feldman (current host of NPR’s Whad’Ya Know?).

Recorded in July 1982, VIOLENT FEMMES has, over the last 20 years,
become a classic party album, discovered and beloved by successive
generations. Its continued staying power is evidenced by the fact
that VIOLENT FEMMES is the only album ever to go platinum without
having ever been in the Billboard Top 200. The record boasts one
classic teen angst anthem after another, from the opening,
“Blister In The Sun,” through “Kiss Off,” “Add It Up,” and
“Prove My Love,” to “Gone Daddy Gone.”

Violent Femmes are Gordon Gano (vocals, guitar), Brian Ritchie(bass),
and Victor DeLorenzo (drums).

RE: Summerfest
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello…

I’m going to be at Summerfest…driving up from NC…I suspect this
will cause a mass migration….Perhaps it could be suggested that if
there are any couches and/or basements available up there people could
volunteer them for us road weary travelers? 🙂

RE: Victor

Holy crap! i can’t believe Victor is back. I mean like did anybody
see this coming or what?? i guess this is good news … definitely
good news that their is tour dates again. But what does this mean as
far as the band goes?? Is Guy out? Is Victor going to learn all the
music on New Times, Rock, Freak Magnet?? I’m not a drummer but like
won’t he need more than a snare and the trance for all that stuff??
And where are all those “I Love Victor” people who used to lurk about
the list? Doesn’t mpdrum or that mike guy have anything to say about
all this?

Does anyone know when the 2-disc re-release of the first album will be
made. I’ve tried to look for it, but have not had any luck.

Milwaukee has got hold of the news that Victor’s back. I thought this
was sort of a low key announcement about it but they casually
slipped this in the Miwaukee Journal Sentinel last week …

Who’s Spinning What
May 9, 2002

Even though he’s back playing with the Violent Femmes, drummer Victor
DeLorenzo hasn’t been too busy to keep up with new music.

He’s been enjoying the new Wilco album (“It’s absolutely brilliant”)
and both of the new Tom Waits albums, “Alice” and “Blood Money.”
He’s also a fan of the new Rhino reissue of “American in Paris.”

This is the 20th anniversary of the Femmes’ first release, and on
June 18, Slash/Rhino will put out “The Violent Femmes” as a double
disc complete with unreleased demos and concert tracks. There also
are plans for a tour.
