Please say it's so!! Where are they playing, like what location (address)? I just called ticket master, they have no idea. So if you have any more information PLEASE PLEASE tell me as soon as possible. I really need to see the femmes, they're my fav-or-ite. Please mail me as soon as possible.

Now, I know during "Prove My Love" on the Femmes self-titled debut, Gordon says "Third verse, same as the the first" and on the Ramones album on Judy is a Punk, Joey Ramone says "Third verse, different from the first". Now, is this deeply rooted? Have the Femmes ever played with the Ramones? They are both two of my favorite bands, so I figured I'd ask and maybe (if it ever happened) buy a bootleg from someone. -- Paul On IRC: HairPeace -- "I'm writing a book.

I have been listening to the femmes for two years or so, but I have never seen them in concert. I was wondering if anyone knew of a show around Portland, Or (Seattle would be ok) and if so when. Also, many have been asking about the ROCK!!!!!! album, I guess it is just in Portland from has been posted, I have it, I can say that I agree with those that say you just can't compare New Times and ROCK!!! they are totally different. If I had to I would say that New Times is better, but ROCK!!! ROCKS!! (sorry). I love Gordon Gano, if any one else wants to write to a die hard fanatic lover of Gordon then write to, , I will write back.

From everything I have read, the album is done and ready for release, but some label problems has kept it out of stores. I'm not sure what the album will be called but it is scheduled for release in Mid-Late January '97, according to New Rock 102.One in Milwaukee. Hopefully a tour will come with the album, huh? rob=) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Femmes Freak Subject: One more thing... David- for what ever reasons, there are no plans to release ROCK!!!!! in the U.S. My guess is that *if* they ever do actually release it here, it won't be for a while, because of the new album. It's a great cd, for anyone who doesn't yet have it...but $40 seems really high for it. I found my copy at a store called The Exclusive Company for $16... rob=) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Angela Neumann Subject: Re: ROCK!!!!! for 10-16-96 Hey everyone!!Does anyone have any clue when the femmes are playing somewhere in Virginia or D.C. I live in Fairfax and I absolutely love the femmes but have never seen them live but i'd do anything for the chance. -- Angela Neumann Program Coordinator Executive Leadership Doctorate in Human Resource Development ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Subject: concerts I am a big VF fan but I've never seen them in concert.

Thanks Jennifer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Subject: Re: ROCK!!!!! for 10-16-96 Ok, heres my story.. I need someone to confirm my vision or tell me that I was halucinating (sp)... I was in LA visiting and went to a CD store just for the hell of it.. had no intention to buy anything (cuz.. what do ya know.. I had now $$) and wen't through the femmes for the hell of it (I already got all their major albums I can get) and saw a CD I didn't reckognize (my heart skipped a beat) I pulled it out (holding my breath) and low and behold.. some new album I had never heard of or seen!!! It was called something like "Blume" or "Blossum" or something like that... I can't remember... it is all so hazy, and it had about 13-15+ new songs.. I looked at the names of the songs (don't remember any names) but I do know that I did not reckognize ANY of them! I need to know if any of you Femmes junkies out there know anything about this. please respond if you do Don ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: TRUMAN EMILY Subject: brian ritchie's works, david's rock question, victor de lorenzo hey ok first the most importan info..i was given this mail order catalogue of tapes, cds, and vinyl by a friend...and low and behold there are 5, yes 5 things from brian ritchie in there :) i'm quite excited, i have known he has solo work, but i've been too lazy to hunt any down. Here is what they got: Sun Ra: Man From Outer Space (EP) 4.65 tape, 6.75 cd Sonic Temple & The Court of Babylon 5.35 tape, 5.40 vinyl Blend 5.35 tape, 5.40 vinyl Atomkrieg 4.35 vinyl Nuclear War 4.35 vinyl, 6.75 cd ok except for the first one that says it is an EP, i have no clue if these are full length albums, or singles, it doesnt say. ok the company of the mail order is: Round Flat Records PO Box 1676 Amherst NY 14226 here is how their shipping and handling works, and its damn reasonable, imo. $2.00 for the first item ordered, 0.35 for each additional item. its different for out of the usa, and new york ppl have to add sales tax..and they go into detail about their policy if you order somethng they no longer have, so i suggest writing to them and asking for a catalogue rather than just ordering the stuff from the info i gave. but if anyone wants to just order and wants the other info email me ([email protected]) and i'll type the rest of the info out and email it to you. they also have the violent femmes new times cd for $11. tons of other musical groups, lots of different styles, i'd check out the catalogue. ok now for david's question about the album rock and if it will be released in the usa. my guess is that it is not going to be released here, and holy shit dont pay $40 ! that really sux that is the price it is around you where do you live? i got mine for like $20. for david, or anyone else that cant get it too cheap its like $20 around here plus tax that brings it up to 21.50. i would more than gladly get any copies i can of the cd and mail them to ppl who cant find it, or its too expensive where they are. i dont think it would cost too much for shipping either, in the us anyway..prob $2 or so..my guess is it would cost you aobut $24 dollars. if anyone is interested please email me privately and let me know. if you want/need me to get it for you i'll only charge the exact cost it costs me to purchase and send it, the same store also has the machine single for $6, they may have the breakin up single..but i havent seen it for awhile, it is an import from germany, $10. let me know victor, um. am i the only one on the list that _can not_ listen to him? i saw him in milwaukee this summer at summerfest and checked him out cause he is a former femmes member and all..but i just do not care for his music. oh well.i tried. um sorry for rambling. emily ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Robert Goodwin Subject: Violent Femmes Concert Listings I've been seeing alot of activity on this list from people asking "Does anyone know when the next time the Violent Femmes are coming to:_________" I have a proposal to make. STOP IT. I really believe that if anyone knows anything about a violent femmes tour or concert coming up we will hear about it without having to ask. I would hope that there are no readers of this list who would keep this kind of information from the rest of us. That being said, I would also like to propose that any known concert listing be posted to the mailing list in a section all their own by the moderator. Is this possible, James? Maybe just before or after the table of contents. Maybe right at the end? This way if anyone knows of any confirmed (or tentative) dates they can mail the list once and our friendly moderator can make sure they are on every email to go out from then until the posted date. What does everyone think? It does seem to be something that everyone absolutely needs to know. rob -- Robert Goodwin The good die young -- because they see it's no use living if you've got to be good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Subject: Re: ROCK!!!!! for 10-16-96 I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the Femmes playing north of connecticut/rhode Island.
