The Violent Femmes, Milwaukee's best known alternative-rock trio, became a duo on April 20.
On the same day the Violent Femmes played St. Norbert College, drummer Victor DeLorenzo announced his immediate departure from the band. The Femmes managed to get BoDeans drummer Guy Hoffman to fill in for the local gig and remaining tour dates through early May.
DeLorenzo cited creative differences and the desire to pursue other projects for the split. DeLorenzo, along with the current members Gordon Gaon and Brian Ritchie, founded the band 12 years ago.
Band Manager Gary Borman described the separation as "amicable" and said DeLorenzo may participate in the band in the future. The Femmes' sixth album is due out early this fall.
